Portfolio Slideshow

First things first – you should probably update your version of WordPress. I don’t know if that’s what’s causing the problem, but I don’t test on earlier versions of WP anymore so it makes it harder to troubleshoot.

2nd: can you send me a screenshot of the options page? I think something went wrong in the latest version of the plugin and certain options are not behaving properly. For example, if you’re trying to hide the nav & use the loader.gif, the slideshow doesn’t show up. I’m still trying to work out the kinks.

You may want to try an earlier version of the plugin (5.0) and see if that works for you.

5.0 works splendidly.

Thanks.

OK, that pretty much answers my question then, and I’m glad to hear it works for you! There are definitely a few kinks to work out in the latest version of the plugin. Eek.

In general, updating your WordPress shouldn’t lose any data at all, unless you’ve modified the core files, which is not recommended. But if you’re talking about theme, plugin, post & page content, you shouldn’t lose anything at all in the upgrade. It’s worth backing up just the same, but the chance of getting hacked goes up with older versions of WP. Just some advice.

Well I’ve modified all the .php files within the theme. And I heard the loop changes in the 3. versions and becomes a separate file?

Yes, the default theme in 3.0 has a very different structure than the old one, including a very advanced loop, but that’s completely optional. Existing themes should continue to work fine, for the most part. (I’ve upgraded dozens of sites with custom themes with no problems). Plugins are occasionally more trouble, but I’ve not had many compatibility problems.

It’s worth keeping in mind, anyway. Definitely make a backup and run the upgrade on a test site first, if you can.
