Hey srumery, I tried your suggestion but without any luck. One thing to note, the difference between using <? ?> and <?php ?> depends on what version of PHP is installed server side although <?php is the safest route as it works across all versions. I do see where the slider jquery script is in the footer file but I don't see any issues with the implementation. What's got me confused is that it worked a short time ago and suddenly stopped. I say suddenly as the site contributer may have done something that I'm not aware of. I just got it setup for him. I've already re-uploaded the theme files manually to insure nothing was messed with but to no avail.

ConnorTraut -> Looks like you figured it out. What was the fix?

Here is my footer.php is there anything wrong with it/I should edit to get it working?

slider not working - only loading first slide

Please help!

my site is http://www.ConnorTraut.com
I have three posts in the slider category but it is only letting me load the last one I posted. How did people solve this problem??

Note: it is the exact problem as the first post in this forum

Original problem: slider not working; only loading first slide
Actual problem: php error in footer.php

There is an error (several) in the footer.php file. The closing if statements in the social div section are <? } ?> and should be <?php } ?>.

Once I replaced every occurrence, the footer loaded. The javascript for the slider is in the footer. The footer was not loading, therefore, the slider was not working.

I am running WordPress 3.3, Politico 1.1 on an IIS server.

Abyrd, glad that worked... I knew that could've been causing the problems!

Good luck with your site,
Justin

Moved it off the Mac Server and works fine.

I've got it set up in the editor exactly how I have it set up in http://www.joeforapopka.com

Abyrd,

Are you following the Help file and video walk throughs? It doesn't appear that you've properly dragged Widgets into the designated areas. I've never had an issue with them not showing up.

We certainly don't want you going to another theme, so let's work together to get it right!

Thanks,
Justin

Here is the link to our site. Please help! beta.ourstateattorney.com About to give up and move on to another theme.

What was the fix? I'm having the same issues and would love to know. Also, can't get my sidebar or footer widgits to show. My gut tells me that it is because the site is on a Mac server, as they work fine being hosted by godaddy.

Steven,

I'm really sorry for the slow response. I didn't see that you responded and for some reason I did not get the notification email. It looks like you figured it out on your own. I'm glad that you were able to - and again, my apologies.

R11110000,

Do you have any footer widgets added to the theme? Try adding one and see what happens. It's a strange issue that I'll need to sort through process of elimination. Let's start there.

Thanks,
Justin

My slider will only show the most current post also. There is also 2 bars at the bottom of my page that when clicked bring me to the top of the page. A great add on but I only need one of them. Any help would be great. Thank you so much of the greg theme. http://LibertarianPoliticalParty.com

Here's the link (which I'll delete once you tell me you've seen it). http://www.ericherrforchairman.com

Can you post a link to your site? If you're following the instructions you should be good to go...

Thanks,
Justin

My slider only displays the latest post in the category, and does not "slide" between the designated number of posts. I can edit post date/time on another post to make it first, and it displays fine, but the slider does not "slide" between each of the items. In other words, each of the posts appear to be configured OK. The advance/go-back buttons do not appear, nor do the highlighted dots (telling the user which item is being displayed). All that appears is the pause button, my title and text, and the image.

I have watched the videos, and have spent hours looking through the forums. Hope I didn't miss anything, but I'm at a dead end.

FYI: I have a category ("slider") with three posts, each of which has a featured image of the specified size. I have specified this category in the Theme Options>Slider menu, with "Number of Items" at 3, and "dual" selected as the type.

Any ideas? Happy to share the link offline somewhere for you to have a look.

Thanks, and great theme!
