Okay, using the shortcode worked. So that’s good. I can stick with that, though it still leaves the mystery. Another thing I just noticed. I always create new slideshows by duplicating/editing the previous slideshow. In the MetaSlider Home view, even though the new slideshow is listed with the correct, new, title, in Edit mode, the title at the top of the page reverts to the title of the copied slideshow, even though I’ve saved it multiple times with the new title. That’s definitely odd.

Okay, thanks to both of you. Let me try the potential fixes before I start doing the inspect tool diagnosis.

I really have no idea. As I said, the only thing that’s changed was the plug-ins I mentioned, and deactivating them didn’t help.

Not sure what to do at this point. I installed a different slideshow plugin for my latest post for now, but…

Sorry, a new test slideshow doesn’t show in the dropdown either. Both do show up in the MetaSlider “Home” list, just FYI.

Creating a block on the Post page (which I called a widget), I can choose the type of block I want, e.g., ‘paragraph’, like this one I’m using right now to post this reply on this website, or on my site, since I have the MetaSlider plugin, I can choose ‘MetaSlider” for the block type, and within the block, I get a dropdown to choose which slideshow to display.

Hmmm, I don’t know about that. I de-activated both plugins: Performance Lab and WP Fastest Cache and the problem remains…still not showing the latest slideshow in the dropdown.
