Sorry for the delay in this post reply. I was not aware of your last post Whooami.

With regard to the Front Page Slideshow (fpss) install. I followed the static version installation instructions as given by fpss install readme.

The only difference was to paste the code below into my home.php instead of the index.php. Everything worked fine after that.

Cheers

<?php
// START of “Frontpage Slideshow” settings
$nameOfSlideshowToDisplay = “myslideshow”; // Enter the name of your slideshow. Slideshows are in folders inside /fpss/slideshows/.
$URLofyoursite = “https://20strong.com&#8221;; // Enter your site’s URL.
$AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = “/absolute server path”; // Enter the root path of your site on the server.

// do not edit below this line
include_once($AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite.”/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php”);
// END of “Frontpage Slideshow” settings
?>

Sorry for such a long delay in this response. I did not realize there were responses to this post.

My ignorance in this post. The chmod was not required to be changed for installation. The cache chmod required chmod change to 777 in order to utilize an image resizer only.

All is well and checks out fine with WP-Security Scan. ??

Hi Samboll!

I am pleased that you responded to my request for help. I was able to resolve the issue and I’ll share it here.

In short, I had WP 2.7 installed and working beautifully at GoDaddy. I am hosted on a linux OS, Apache server 5.2.5 ver of PHP on a shared account.

I had an issue that compelled me to re-install wp. I contacted GoDaddy Customer Support. The info was to delete the wp files. No need to worry about the databases. I deleted the files through ftp and waited and re-installed. I kept getting the message that WP was still installed.

Long story short. The proper procedure for GoDaddy is to navigate to the Hosting Connection panel and “uninstall” WP before trying to re-install. I should have known, but so should GoDaddy. Everything worked out and WP is up and running very well with no other issues.

All in all, I am happy with Godaddy and customer support. This hopefully is not a negative reflection on their service or performance.

Cheers

Whooami,

Thanks for your effort. I honestly appreciate your help with this. Fortunately, I was able to get some help with WooThemes as well. In this case, my code edits were correct. Thanks to GoDaddy support, and WooThemes support as well. The fix was to paste the code into my home.php instead of my index.php.

All is working now. I see the demo working in place.

I will now configure the fpss to fit in my feature content and upload my slides.

Thanks again! =)

Here is the index.php that I pasted, below:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”centercol” class=”grid_10″>

<?php
// START of “Frontpage Slideshow” settings
$nameOfSlideshowToDisplay = “myslideshow”; // Enter the name of your slideshow. Slideshows are in folders inside /fpss/slideshows/.
$URLofyoursite = “https://20strong.com&#8221;; // Enter your site’s URL.
$AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = “/home/content/W/a/l/Walker9/html/20strong”; // Enter the root path of your site on the server.

// do not edit below this line
include_once($AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite.”/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php”);
// END of “Frontpage Slideshow” settings
?>

<?php if (get_option(‘woo_show_blog’) == false) { ?>

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/includes/featured.php’); ?>

<?php

$layout = get_option(‘woo_layout’);

include(‘layouts/’.$layout);

?>

<?php } else { include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/includes/stdblog.php’); } ?>

</div><!–/centercol–>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I only edited mysite.com to 20strong.com and the absoluteserverpath.

The path would be 20 Strong / wp-content / Themes / Freshnews / index.php

I did not edit the mod_fpslidesshow.php or the configuration.php yet. At this point, I’m only trying to view the demo. Once I can see the demo, then I’ll add my slides and edit the configuration.php.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks

The readme says to upload the frontpage slideshow (fpss) to the root of my file. I did. It says to make the edits to the code ,mysite.com, and the absoluteserverpath, and add to php.index. I did. It says then to open a browser and go to mysite.com/index.php and I should see the demo. I don’t. Nothing happens at all.

I checked with my host, GoDaddy, and confirmed my absoluteserverpath. My index.php looks like this:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”centercol” class=”grid_10″>

<?php
// START of “Frontpage Slideshow” settings
$nameOfSlideshowToDisplay = “myslideshow”; // Enter the name of your slideshow. Slideshows are in folders inside /fpss/slideshows/.
$URLofyoursite = “https://20strong.com&#8221;; // Enter your site’s URL.
$AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = “/home/content/w/a/l/walker9/html/20strong”; // Enter the root path of your site on the server.

// do not edit below this line
include_once($AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite.”/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php”);
// END of “Frontpage Slideshow” settings
?>

I’m thankful for any help.
