OK I was having trouble with every single slideshow I tried, and I couldn’t figure out what the hell I was doing wrong. Turns out I hadn’t added the get_header and get_footer tags.
As soon as I did that it worked perfectly. As someone who has created over 10 themes but is still learning, little details like this would be really useful if they were somewhere in the plugin help files.
I often find myself adding a plugin and wondering what the hell I’m supposed to do next. This plugin is a lot better than most in that it explains how to add it to page to start with, and where in the backend I go to configure the settings. But a line like “make sure your theme has the get_header and get_footer tags” would of been really useful and saved me 3 or 4 hours (I’m including the time I tried and failed with other slideshow plugins).
Other than that great plugin thank you for making it, I didn’t mean to go on a rant just wanted to help you see it from the point of view of someone who is not quite as fluent as you in wordpress.
Again thanks for a great plugin!
