I have the Slideshow shortcode inserted into the page content.

I managed to get it working by editing the Slidehow plugin files using Plugins > Editor.

I first edited the slideshow.php file and changed these lines:

// Deploy slideshow on do_action('slideshow_deploy'); hook.
add_action('slideshow_deploy', array('SlideshowPlugin', 'deploy'));

to this:

// Deploy slideshow on do_action('sbslideshow_deploy'); hook.
add_action('sbslideshow_deploy', array('SlideshowPlugin', 'deploy'));

Then I opened up the SlideshowPluginShortcode.php file, and updated these lines:

	/** @var string $shortCode */
	public static $shortCode = 'slideshow_deploy';

	/** @var string $bookmark */
	public static $bookmark = '!slideshow_deploy!';

to this:

	/** @var string $shortCode */
	public static $shortCode = 'sbslideshow_deploy';

	/** @var string $bookmark */
	public static $bookmark = '!sbslideshow_deploy!';

Then I changed the shortcodes in my page to:

[sbslideshow_deploy id='####'] 

And everything started working just fine. I guess on our site the string ‘[slideshow’ was triggering NextGEN instead of Slideshow. But since the Slideshow shortcode wasn’t a proper NextGEN code, it didn’t do anything. The only way to get it to fail NextGEN’s shortcode script was to modify it to ‘[sbslideshow’ Hopefully this will help resolve this same conflict for others.

Thanks!

Follow up:

I didn’t clear the cache, so I redid the steps above, and cleared the browser cache before reactivating each plugin and had the same results.

Then I switched to one of the wordpress themes (this site uses the Eleven 40 theme), deactivated all the plugins, cleared the browser cache again, and the reactivated each plugin one by one with the same results.

So I’m stumped.

Thank you for the response. I tried to search the forum for previous posts, but couldn’t find one. But I’ll search some more.

I went through and deactivated each plugin one by one to see if the Slideshows would start working and I left the NextGen and Slideshow plugin for last. The Slideshows would not start working until I had deactivated all the other plugins and then deactived NextGen.

So then I started activating all the other plugins one by one to see if the Slideshows stayed on after each plugin was activated. But I activated the NextGen plugin last. The slideshows continued to work after each plugin was activated until I activated the NextGen plugin.

If you have any other ideas, or if I’m not checking for conflicts correctly, let me know.

Thanks again!
