Slide show not working

Please post a link to your site so I can look for clues.

Thanks. It appears your theme does not call a very important function, wp_footer. The plugin relies on this hook to initialize the slideshow.

You can test this by adding this to your theme’s functions.php:

function my_footer_check() {
	echo '<!-- wp_footer called -->';
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'my_footer_check' );

Then, on any page, right-click, view page source, and Ctrl+F to find “wp_footer called”.

Thanks, so adding that into functions will enable the slideshow to work?

And you might consider checking the theme using this great plugin:

No, adding that code simply verifies whether wp_footer was called. If not called, then the theme author needs to address it.

Or you can add it yourself as explained in the Codex.

Hi, I’ve just looked at the footer.php file and it appears it is being called

Cool, thanks for checking that.

I see one JavaScript error that may be interfering. Can you disable Google Maps temporarily?

Did you use the Strong Testimonials widget or did you put the shortcode in a text widget?

Not sure I can as that’s included in the theme. I used the ST widget

We really need to rule out the theme as the source of the conflict. Try a default theme like Twenty Seventeen.

Seems to function with that

Good, thanks. We have two options.

1. Start a support ticket at wpmission.com so I can troubleshoot directly.

2. I can write a simple diagnostic plugin and we can continue troubleshooting here.

Option 1 is quicker. ??
