I was referring to personal privacy, not data security.

You are absolutely right about the WP version. This site was a freebie done for a friend who was having difficulty with his site a few years ago. We all know how that goes…. I hate to admit it but when you’re not getting paid for upgrades and their accompanying headaches, it’s easy to leave them on the back burner. I bit the bullet this weekend and upgraded him to 4.4.1 (with surprisingly few headaches actually, lesson learned).
As for the link, I’m happy to send one but I try not to post public links to my sites when I can help it, for privacy reasons.
Besides upgrading, I also activated Akismet and installed a plugin called WP-SpamShield which is supposed to stop form spam.

I still don’t know what happened or why, but for the moment it seems to be working again.

Here are the admin screenshots:

Slideshows

Slides Settings

OK, I finally got around to disabling ALL other plugins. I also set the theme back to the default (twentyfourteen). I regret to say that the problem still exists…. You can see here, slides 2, 3, and 4.
I’m in the process of taking some screenshots of the admin settings too.

Looks like a few of us are having the same or very similar issue, the open thread is here:

No, I didn’t try disabling plugins because I was afraid of losing all their settings and causing more problems. Guess I might have to try it.

UPDATE: Haha… I had 4 slides running, with slide number 4 getting cut off. I deactivated my NextGen Gallery plugin and slide 4 was OK, but then slide 2 started getting cut off. Perhaps my jQuery theory was on the right track.

OK….. It appears to be something with specific slides in the order, rather than images themselves. I originally was running 7 slides and slides 3 and 4 were the ones being cut off.
I changed the footer css as you suggested and also upped the transition speed to 2 secs instead of 1. No effect. Then I disabled all but the 2 slides that were giving me trouble. I deleted the featured image for each, then re-uploaded new images and reattached to their respective slides. Then I changed the Slideshow Quantity to 2 (in slideshow settings). They both worked fine.
As soon as I re-enabled a 3rd slide, the problem appeared again, on slide 3.
I then double-checked the slideshow settings and verified that “Slideshow Quantity” is set to 3 slides. I don’t know what to think since some of the slides display fine and others don’t. That would tempt me to rule out any issues with CSS or admin settings. Could this be a jQuery thing?

Hmmm. Unfortunately I’m still having the same problem…. on some, but not all, of my slides the bottom half of the image is cut off during the transition. As you suggested I have resized my images so they do not scale themselves, and also saved the logo slide as a JPG instead of PNG.

I wondered if it was something like that, because the dimensions of the last couple of images I added are completely different from the actual slideshow size. I’ll dig out my originals and resize them correctly as JPGs and let you know what happens.

I see the issue and I’m having the same problem — it’s as if the bottom half of the image disappears or is somehow masked during the transition. My slideshow is doing that same thing, and even more strange is that it just started today, right after I added a couple new slides.

On mine, it happens only on the first image, but it happens every time that image comes around. The bottom part of the image just seems to “disappear.” Please see link to in-progress site here:

I’m using Firefox 35 on Mac OS 10.10 if it matters. Doesn’t seem to happen in Safari. @gbrillproducts, yours looks OK in Safari as well.

Boy do I feel smart…. haha. It turns out it was indeed an ad blocker running in my browser. Thanks for your help, sorry to bother you for something trivial!

Totally awesome, it works now! Thank you so much!!!!

Hmm…. when I use headings=1 in the shortcode, it just displays the column headers, i.e. “When,” “What,” etc. What I’m hoping to do is to display the calendar name, or as you said, the W-XR-CALNAME that is being passed with the ics.
