Try adding it to wp-content/plugins/anythingslider-for-wordpress/css/anythingslider.css

I’m having the same problem with 1.6.7. It worked fine until I amassed the 10 backups, and now it won’t save new ones.

Hi Mottie and Jacob,

I couldn’t quite find the shortcode option, so I tried Mottie’s solution, but then my right toggled arrow would no longer function.

I suspect this might be because I didn’t originally style the slider in the most elegant code, but I’m not sure what the specific culprit is. Maybe you have an idea?

There is a #home-slider ul CSS rule at the top of anythingslider.css you can uncomment to see what I’m talking about. The thumbnav buttons move too, but I imagine that’s an easy positioning fix.

Hi Jacob and Mottie,

Apparently I was mistaken, and I still have the FOUC issue. I dug into the code and noticed that using the WP plugin with the shortcode generates a different number with the id each time I load the page, so I get a ul with an id of slider-178 or similar. So I’m having a tough time designating the id properly in the CSS and setting its overflow values. Any idea why the ul keeps generating different id numbers?

Right now I am using only one slideshow on the entire site, and using all the slides within it. Should I be putting them all into a category instead?

https://www.lamanai.org is the site with the issue.

Hi Mottie!

My apologies. For some reason, I thought the FOUC was fixed in the jQuery plugin more recently than the WP plugin’s last version. Added the overflow CSS, and indeed, it’s flawless.

Thank you both, as always, for doing great work on this slider. Of the millions out there, it’s by far my favorite.

Hi Jacob,

I just wanted to mention that I would love to see an option to prevent seeing the unstyled list of slides for a second before the slideshow is arranged properly.

The jQuery plugin fixed this in a recent version. Is there an easy way to tinker with the WP plugin to achieve this also?

Both domains were running Linux, and the same version of PHP. I just gave up and added a slash to the beginning of feed.php, though the old site somehow worked without it. I imagine maybe this has something to do with the server settings.

Alright, I hit “Save settings” on the main WP settings page, and that seemed to fix my broken pages issue. But I’m still having the bizarre feed.php errors that I can’t make sense of.

Full code for this part of the template is as follows:

<h1>From our Wild Dogs Blog</h1>
<?php if (function_exists('fetch_feed')) { ?>
<?php include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . 'feed.php');
	$feed = fetch_feed('https://zimbabwewilddogs.wildlifedirect.org/feed/');
	$limit = $feed->get_item_quantity(3);
	$items = $feed->get_items(0, $limit);
if (!$items) {
	echo "problem";
} else {
	//Works
	foreach ($items as $item) { ?>
<div class="date"><?php echo $item->get_date('M j'); ?></div><h2><a href="<?php echo $item->get_permalink(); ?>"><?php echo $item->get_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php }

} ?>

<?php } ?>

Additional information: The page tries to fetch feed.php two times and errors out before succeeding the third time. I have no idea why, but I’m hoping that might provide an extra clue. Is it possible that some integral file didn’t transfer properly during the move?

That works. Thanks!

Hi Jacob,

I’d like to add a conditional IE8 stylesheet to take care of the issue I mentioned above with only half of the arrows showing. (Applying the entire IE7- stylesheet messes up the navigation boxes.) But I’m having a hard time figuring out where the conditional stylesheets are set up for the plugin. I’ve been digging through the plugin folder as well as /wp-includes/. Any hints?

Works like a charm. Thank you both.

Works like a charm now. Thanks so much!

Side note: Including the whole IE stylesheet for IE8 had the unwanted effect of also breaking the navigation link boxes. (They now look like vertical black lines at https://www.robinbijlani.com/lfrc/ for me.) But that’s easily fixed. I’ll just make a separate IE8 stylesheet for just the arrow issue, instead of using all the IE7 fixes.

Thanks to both of you for all your help and work on the slider!

In the middle of tinkering with that site. ??

Very strange about the arrows, though. I can’t make sense of it.
