Can I ask, which version did you use for the test website you have done? v3 or v4?

Yes, I am clicking on update, and even I tried to do a new post with the same address, etc, it still didn’t show anything……

Hi Marventus

Yes you are right, thats what I believe it shoudl do too.

I just copied the above code back to the index.featured.php file this time i went to the admin of WP and through editor i changed it.

anything else we can do?

thanks for your help, really appreciate it.

Hi Marventus

Sorry, I missed the SELECT FEATURED CATEGORY screen shot, which is: https://imagebin.org/182247

you know the custom field used: https://imagebin.org/182237
you can see that the thumb in the custom field is working fine because on the website the thumbnail can bee seen.

thanks

Hi Marventus

I have been doing exactly what you have mentioned above, so below are the screenshots of those things, but still the slider not working.

Hi Mrventus

Thanks for the researched, what I did was undo the changes, go back to the general options and then ENABLED the FEATURED SLIDESHOW,

Like you have mentioned above, the featured custom field has the full url of its value because it has the thumb value too, which you can see on the main, page.

I am back to where I had started, the slides does not show the images.

Hi Marventus

Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate your help.

I did the changes, now the code for index.featured.php looks like this:
_________________________
<?php while ($features->have_posts()) : $features->the_post(); ?>
<div class=”pane”>
<?php $feat_image_url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) ); ?>“><img src=”<?php echo $feat_image_url?>” alt=”<?php the_title(); ?>” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>” width=”662″ height=”230″ />
<span class=”overlay”></span>
_______________________________________________

but there is a bad news, looking at some of the thread of other users at deluxe themes support, i went to DT>General Options>Video Setup>”Selected: NONE (Will disable this font…..”

Since I didn’t get any help I un ticked the option “Enable the brand new featured slideshow which uses large images.” so that there is not featured stories number without any images.

I went and did the changes and went back to this settings and enabled the slideshow and turned the video setup to featured and when refresh the website, it only shows that header section and then ONLY the featured module with no image or text shows up, I mean I can email you a snapshot if you can provide me your email address?

When I un tick the option of FEATURED SLIDESHOW under the general options and refresh the website, I see everything back to normal with no featured items.

not sure what to do now?

thanks
I really appreciate that you have taken your time to look into this issue for me.

Select “videos” category

Thank God,

Hi Marventus

yes, the theme does work with the featured posts because I have used it in the past, it stopped working after the update of the WP to 3.2.1

I do have a category called FEATURED and I have added it to it.

yeah the address is there for the FEATURED IMAGE, as mentioned before it used to work fine until I did the update for WP, which I regret now.

thanks for your help
