Oops, my bad. I see in another thread this problem is caused by the Reading setting for the maximum number of pages to display. That stinks!

I have four slides working in a test at https://the.mountaingallery.net/

However, I’m using the shortcode in a post, not in the template.

Update: This plugin is now working for me with version 0.1.5.

The main problems I have with it is the fact that it is displayed at the top of the post, regardless of the location of the shortcode. This is discussed in another thread.

I would also like the ability to have more than one slider at a site.

I suspect the solution might be found in …/responsive-slider/css/responsive-slider.css, but I only know enough CSS to be dangerous. I looked at the code, but I couldn’t tell what’s causing the slider to be placed above everything else in the post.

Very disappointing, since this is the only responsive slider that’s working at all for me… and I tried a flock of them.

Resolved with new version 0.1.5.

Thanks for the response, that’s a big help.

I’m thinking I should set up a separate WP install for just courses, rather than try to mix them in with a general purpose site.

I’m wondering if there’s a way to restrict certain users to certain courses. If there’s a plugin to assign users to categories (courses) it might be possible.

This forum is for the plugin named “Responsive Slider.”

I have yet to find a RS (including FlexSlider 2) that works for me. There’s something wrong with each one, or I can’t figure out how to install it.

That’s what I was afraid of… and this site has a lot of images.

This might be a good time to be a MySQL expert. Maybe I could build a new db from the old one.

Lane

Trying to think of some way to re-build the site without losing everything, I wonder if this would work:
1. Create a new empty database.
2. Rename wp-config.php to wp-config0.php.
3. Visit the domain and run the WP install, supplying the new database name to produce a new wp-config.php.
4. Start putting things together again piece by piece.

The advantage would be that all the uploaded stuff (plugins, theme, media) would be there, ready to be used. I don’t know if the Media Library would be recognized as being in place.

If, during the rebuild, it was necessary to look at the old posts and pages, a rename of the two wp-config.php’s could get you back to the old site.

Have you ever heard of someone doing something like that?

Lane

HttpFox didn’t find anything to mark.

Disabling the plugins and changing the theme didn’t affect the results.

I enabled Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu and that cleaned things up since it works right. I also added ToolBar Removal – RC which got rid of the garbage related to the accursed toolbar.

In addition to the way things look, some of the operations in the admin section seem not to work right. For example, clicking the “Select All” box at the top of the plugins does nothing.

I’m wondering about the icons that show at the top. They are not supposed to be there. It looks like: Home Link Graphic Document (or Copy) Plugins Tools and others. The same icons show up in both Firefox and Chrome.

The CSS files all seem to be OK. I did a fresh download of 3.4.2, and the file sizes are all the same.

The css folder has permissions 755 and the contained files 644. These are standard for my host and have never caused a problem with WordPress.

So I guess I have to do the hard thing. What makes this particularly frustrating is the fact that this site was working fine under a different domain. I had to move it to this new domain, and that’s where the problem originated.

I changed all the old domain references in the database to the new one, using the Search Replace plugin. I also use phpMyAdmin to search for the old domain, and no instances were found.

I’ll be back after I try disabling the plugins. I don’t even like to think about messing with the theme. ??

Lane

OK, I checked, and the villain is:
User Specific Content
This Plugin allows you to select specific users by user name, or by role name who can view a specific post content or page content.

I hadn’t done anything with it, just installed and activated. So maybe I was to blame for not checking its settings. I’m going to leave it out.

Lane

Oh, yes! Yoast’s instructions had me adding these lines to wp-config.php:
define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘https://www.mountaingallery.net’);
define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘https://www.mountaingallery.net’);

Lane

Yes, deactivating the plugins got all the posts displayed, and in the Path theme. Thank you for that suggestion.

Now to reactivate until I discover the culprit. Hopefully, I can identify the most likely suspects.

Lane

I looked that page over, and it’s similar what I did.

Interestingly, the General Settings:
WordPress Address (URL)
Site Address (URL)
look like they are correct, but they cannot be changed. The fields are not accessible.

I used the Search and Replace plugin to update the database after importing the old one. It must have changed the above URL settings, because I didn’t make the change before I exported the old database.

I didn’t see anything in the procedure you linked that would explain why the formatting of the admin section is screwed up.

BTW, the link to the procedure I followed is https://yoast.com/move-wordpress-blog-domain-10-steps/ I did not find step 4 needed.
