Thanks, I will look into including a fix for this in the next version!

Thanks for sharing this issue, there is an updated version of the jQuery Cycle plugin that may include some fixes for the deprecated JQuery. I’ll make sure the next version of Meteor Slides includes the latest version of jQuery Cycle if I am able to, but Meteor Slides makes use of some other jQuery plugins as well so there are some dependencies that need to be tested.

It appears that Cycle and its successor, Cycle 2, are no longer being actively maintained so ultimately I may need to switch to a better supported slideshow script or utilize a custom script moving forward.

Thanks for your kind words, I hope Meteor Slides gives you another 5 years of service!

Glad to hear you got it figured out! Sometimes when you copy paste shortcodes and things into WordPress it can bring some extra code or formatting with it if you add it to the visual editor instead of the code editor.

No problem, it looks like it is something simple, on the dev site you’re using the slideshow titles rather than the slideshow slugs in the shortcode, those should look like this:

[meteor_slideshow slideshow="patio-suite"]
[meteor_slideshow slideshow="mezzanine"]

@meesha Hi, are these local or are they live somewhere that I could see and compare them?

The first thing I would check is the HTML for those pages, are both the slideshows present in the code on the page that is missing the slideshow? This will tell you if it’s an output error with CSS or JS, or one with the content or plugin or template files.

Hi, if you’re seeing share buttons, those are being added by ad different plugin, try deactivating any social sharing plugins or changing the settings to exclude Meteor Slides images.

Hi, Meteor Slides is not dead, only sleeping!

Hi Emily, could you send me a link to the a page you’re having this issue on?

Thanks for sending that info. I took a look and the slide posts were saved as drafts. The slideshow shortcode won’t display draft posts, I published two of the slide drafts and the slideshow is now loading.

Thanks, I took a look and I don’t see any content on that page.

Would you be able to send me a login so I can take a closer look?

Hi @mfrog, you should be able to view the slideshow even if the post is saved as a draft and you are previewing it.

There are a number of issues that could be happening, it is possible that the shortcode isn’t quite right, if you copied it and pasted it into the visual editor, there could be other code copied along with it.

This could also be a JavaScript conflict that is preventing the slideshow from loading. To say for sure I would have to see the page you are having this issue on, are you able to publish it and send me a link?

If this isn’t setup correctly, or something is wrong, you will need to dig into your theme to figure it out.

The first step would be to figure out which template file is being displayed on that page, then looking into that template file and figuring out what is actually loading that slideshow content.

Hi, there are three ways to add a slideshow to a site with Meteor Slides. You can use a PHP function, content shortcode, or a widget. You can find more information on how to do this in the documentation here: https://jleuze.com/plugins/meteor-slides/adding-a-slideshow/

In this case, the slideshow is being added using a widget. So you can go to the widgets section of the WP admin and remove this widget or move it to a new widget area. If you want it only on a certain page you can use a plugin to restrict which pages a widget is displayed on, or make a new widget area that is only used on a certain page or template.

Hi, the issue is that the paths in the slideshow’s stylesheet are incorrect. Did you edit the CSS file in the plugin? This could get overwritten if you update the plugin, you can copy this file into your theme to save these changes, check out the documentation here for more info:
https://jleuze.com/plugins/meteor-slides/customizing-the-stylesheet/

For those images, you have paths like this:

url(images/prev.png)

They should look like this:
url('../images/prev.png')
