@alchymyth I installed a yarpp plugin and that fixed the problem. However, now the error is on the Popular Posts, so I figured I need a popular posts plugin? the problem is there are so many to choose from. Any tips?

@josh – thanks for helping! I think I’m on the right track.

I contacted templatesold.com again and they fixed it for me this time. I have another site too that I’m hoping they’ll fix and I’ve asked them to comment here on this page about how to fix the problem. They required that I give them ftp access in order to fix it.

However, although fixed, I no longer see the Piecemaker Slider link in the left column of links on my dashboard – so any customization (timing, type of rotation, etc. ) is not available which is too bad. I’d like it to ripple rather than slide like I’ve seen on other sites.

Yeah, I named all my images slider_img_1 thru 4 and uploaded them, so I didn’t have to change the path. I checked both files you mentioned and the paths are correct. My images show up, they just don’t rotate on their own. The site I’m working on is https://www.allsignsny.com.

Thanks for all your help.

Dalton,
OH! Shame on me. The problem for me was again, my lack of understanding the include and id statement. Once I got the page id (found in the url) and then used the id’s for the existing images in the gallery, it worked. Phew!

I can’t thank you enough for spending so much time with me on this. I really appreciate it. I’ll go ahead and purchase a developer license for your pro version because I can see using this for some other wp sites I manage/develop.

I figured out what I was doing wrong – and you had mentioned this but I didn’t quite understand until now.

My problem was I did not attach the images to the individual page. Partly because I was confusing “inserting” vs “attaching” images. I read in other posts where the media library is lacking in that you have to re-upload an image multiple times in order for it to be attached to multiple pages, which is a drag on resources. You’d think you could go to the media library, select the image that’s already uploaded and then check off what posts/pages you want it attached to.

Am I missing something here or is it really that cumbersome?

Dalton,
Well, you’re right in that I am confusing the id and include. ??
But I also think I’m getting confused with attaching images to a page rather than simply attaching it to the gallery. I thought I could load all the images into the gallery and then use the include statement to only include certain images to display on a different page. Btw, I’m using static wp pages, not posts for this – if it matters.

So I put in what you indicated last – [portfolio_slideshow include=”143, 144, 145″] and nothing shows up at all. But I also don’t have any images attached to the page either. Every time I insert an image on the page it shows up as static images one by one.

Hi Dalton,
Thanks for the quick reply.

I believe I’m running the newest version. My dashboard says: WordPress 3.2.1.

sorry, I misspoke, what’s happening with the code I mentioned in my last post is the entire gallery of images shows up even though I only specified id 143, 144, 145.

I’m trying to put one slideshow with specific images on several pages. I setup the gallery page to show all images and it worked just fine. Yet when I specify certain id’s to show up on a page, nothing at all shows up – similar to what happened above with @biskitwheels.

Here’s the full gallery slideshow: https://allsignsny.com/custom-signs-gallery/

and here’s the code I’m trying to use on another page on the same site:
[portfolio_slideshow include id=”143, 144, 145″]
143-145 are uploaded to the server and assigned to the gallery. Yet nothing at all shows up on the page when I insert this shortcode.

Any ideas to help me correct this problem?

@jondiego – I see you’re using the aquafuse theme and the piecemakerxml.xml file is located at wp-content/themes/aquafuse/piecemakerXML.xml for you.

I’m using the cleancorp theme and it’s not located in the wp-content/themes/cleancorp/piecemakerXML.xml path.

I think I’ve looked in all the other directories but I can’t find it. Ugh. This is such a pain and so time consuming. But thanks for trying to help. Much appreciated.

I can’t locate the piecemakerxml.xml file either.

@jondiego that’s great! This has still been an issue for me. What modifications did you make to the “piecemakerxml.xml” file?

Can you post here?

Yes, and they just said to be sure all the plugins were enabled for the template, which they are. I’m on day 3 of trying to figure this out and I’m running out of options. The site is allsignsny.com.

@jmdjewelry – I’m having the same problem. My piecemaker slider isn’t rotating with my cleancorp template. Did you ever get it to work?
