@marklcm Yes, if you copy code and paste it into the visual editor it can sometimes copy the code wrapped around it. If you paste it right onto the text view of the editor it doesn’t do that.

Hi Michael, to add a specific slideshow to a page, use the slideshow shortcode with a slideshow parameter with that slug:

[meteor_slideshow slideshow="meteor-slides-v1"]

Make sure you paste that into the HTML editor, not the visual editor, or it might add some extra tags from where you copied it.

Hi, have you tried deactivating all of your other plugins to confirm this isn’t a plugin conflict?

After that I would try switching themes and testing the slide admin to see if there is a conflict with the theme.

How would this work? The settings have default options, but beyond that how would WordPress know what to change the settings to without someone to make that choice?

What do you mean by automate? The slide images have to come from somewhere.

Glad to hear it is working better. There isn’t an option for quantity in the metadata. The quantity of slides in the settings should be at least 1, in the case of multiple slideshows, you can set this to the max number of slides you need in your largest slideshow, and just add less slides to other slideshows as-needed.

Hi, I can see a few issues that you could try fixing.

First, the BJ Lazy Load plugin is changing the markup of the slide images a bit and could be causing conflicts. It worked with Meteor Slides in my testing, but I would try deactivating that plugin to confirm that there aren’t any conflicts.

Second, with multiple slideshows, use the slideshow slug, not the title, to load a specific slideshow. It looks like the slideshow being loaded is titled “Dining Page”, so the slug should be “dining-page”.

Last, are you using the latest version of Meteor Slides? Is there a custom slideshow template or anything? I see some extra paragraph tags in the slideshow that could be coming from a custom template or some custom content filtering in your theme.

Thanks for the feedback, I’m definitely planning to do this in a future release!

Hi Arnold, there is a conflict with your theme, which is loading the jQuery Cycle 2 script.

Meteor Slides uses the Cycle 1 script, which isn’t compatible with Cycle 2, you have to choose one or the other.

I’m sorry to hear you were having problems setting up Meteor Slides. What was giving you problems? Did you try looking at the documentation or watching any of my videos?

The tabbed slideshow really depends on how you want it to work.

The example in that link is a separate tabbed section, each with a carousel in it that displays multiple slides at once. You could display a Meteor Slides slideshow in a tab, but with only one slide displaying at once in a slideshow, not multiple like those carousels.

Dan, are you trying to move the menu, or style the menu dropdowns to display above the slideshow?

Hi, do you want to replace the slide link with an Amazon link, or add a button to the slides?

You can customize the slideshow markup using a custom slideshow template to change that link or add a button.

Sorry Dan, I missed your reply. The code I shared is CSS, which goes in your theme’s style.css file. There should already be code like that in there, you just need to edit it.

@bozzmedia Glad to hear you got it figured out!
