supportHello, I found your plugin a few days ago and it seemed it was just what I was looking for, so I decided to try it. After installing it in local with no results, since you updated it to version 1.0.1, I decided to install it on my site and write you. The first problem is that carousel is ko, only the same four fixed images are dislayed, as you can see on this page in my site (only one page at the moment). I activated the plugin without modifying settings, only putting [slidr] shortcode at the bottom of the above page. Another question: in local I tried to use more then one ‘post type’ at time (post, page, galley), but I didn’t find the way: is it possible? It would be very important for me. Thanks in advance, I hope you can help me to solve my problems, very interesting plugin:-) Pier https://wordpress.org/plugins/slidr/
Hello, Which type of content would you like to display? Recent posts of a specific category, for example, or something else? Also, which shortcode do you use in your post? Just [slidr] or did you include some other parameters?
Hi, I’d like to display random contents from posts, pages, galleries and portfolio at the same time. To try your plugin, I only used [slidr], which means, by default, only posts of all categories. Bye.
There might be some conflict with the theme or some other plugin. The one thing that I noticed when I viewed the source code is that your theme loads an older version of jQuery, while WordPress itself loads the proper one too. If you have a local version of your site where you can perform tests, could you please try the following: – Try to disable all other plugins and check if the carousel works. If it does, enable them one by one until you find which one conflicts. – If the above doesn’t work, try switching themes but keep all your plugins active. If it does solve the problem, then there probably is a conflict with your theme. – Finally, see if you can prevent the theme from loading its own jQuery and let WordPress handle it. BTW, I don’t know if you are aware but in your footer there are two hidden links leading to porn pages (check screenshot: http://imageshack.com/i/eyXIfUxKp ). I suggest that you should also check your site for suspicious activity and find what injected those links.
Hello, you are right, it is a jQuery problem… Unfortunately it is very difficult for me to update it (jQuery Updater plugin didn’t help me) and I’m not about to change my theme now. Thank you very much, I hope I can use your plugin in future. Bye, Pier
Actually, you don’t need to update jQuery but to remove the theme’s old version. WordPress will load the proper version anyway, which is considered the best practice. Depending on the theme, this could be achieved with any of the following: – via some option that might exist in the Theme’s Options page (it is very likely, though, that the theme might not have such an option) – using wp_deregister_script() (supposing, of course that your theme used “wp_enqueue_script()” to load its jQuery, which is the proper way to do so in WordPress) – If the theme includes hardcoded jQuery (which is a bad practice) you can just find it, usually in header.php or footer.php and remove it. There is a chance that the theme loads old jQuery because some of its functions depends on it and can’t work with newer versions. If such is the case, then, indeed, there is not much you can do about it. Otherwise it would be better to use WordPress’ default jQuery from every aspect (security, performance, stability etc).

Hallo, thanks for all your advice and above all thanks for notifying me the problem in the footer. I don’t know how it could happen since I use many security plugins. Bye, Pier.
