Slides not sliding, just stacking.

[Mottie]

I still don’t see an anytingslider.css file. Also setting the slideshow with “playRtl” set to true, does more than just switch the slideshow direction – it messes around with the page rtl (right-to-left) settings for languages that are read from right-to-left. So, you should set that to false.

[dj_hiking]

here is my css. it is in the style.css file…

#slide2 {

float:left;

z-index: 99;

margin-left: -18px;

}

#homeslider {

margin: 20px;

border: 8px solid #FFF;

position: absolute;

height: 400px;

width: 600px;

background-color: #CCC;

box-shadow: 0 0 3px #888888;

}

#slidershadow {

height: 455px;

width: 655px;

background-image: url(images/featured-curved-shadow.png);

background-repeat: no-repeat;

background-position: center bottom;

position: absolute;

}

[dj_hiking]

I also changed the setting to false on right to left.

I added the above css to the style.css – previously I was just adding it to the anythingslider.css, because adding it to style.css didn’t make any changes. It is now working… However, when I go into the Anything Slider plugin settings and make any changes the slider stops working. I can get it to work again by deactivation the plugin and reactivating it. but I can’t style, add/subtract nav, etc. or it breaks. I tried installing another slider (easing slider) as a test and it also did not work correctly. There appears to be some offending code somewhere on the back end that conflicts with the jquery code.

[dj_hiking]

It is working. I just need to make all the style settings in the php instead of the Anything Slider plugin settings. Thanks for all your help Mottie. Hopefully the client will just let us rebuild the site from scratch soon so we don’t have to deal with all the leftover code that obviously is the problem. Thanks again.

Hello,
I’m having a similar problem. I’m trying to use Dreamweaver CS5 to create & edit a WordPress site. I have WAMP installed on my computer. The homepage slider is stacking the photos instead of sliding them. I’ve tried 3 different WordPress themes but I get the stacking problem which ever theme I use. The strange thing is, when I preview the site in Dreamweaver using “live view” (WebKit browser) it displays properly. But with every other browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera) I get the stacking problem. Sorry I can’t give a link to the site but it’s not online at this point. I’m working with a fresh install of WordPress with no plugins. I’m pretty much a novice with all this stuff. Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?
Below is a copy of my featured.php file:

$ids = array();



$featured_cat = get_option('deepfocus_feat_cat');

$featured_num = (int) get_option('deepfocus_featured_num');



if (get_option('deepfocus_use_pages') == 'false') query_posts("showposts=$featured_num&cat=".get_cat_ID($featured_cat));

else {

global $pages_number;



if (get_option('deepfocus_feat_pages') <> '') $featured_num = count(get_option('deepfocus_feat_pages'));

else $featured_num = $pages_number;



query_posts(array

('post_type' => 'page',

'orderby' => 'menu_order',

'order' => 'ASC',

'post__in' => (array) get_option('deepfocus_feat_pages'),

'showposts' => $featured_num

));

} ?>


global $post; ?>




$width = 960;

$height = 447;

$titletext = get_the_title();



$thumbnail = get_thumbnail($width,$height,'',$titletext,$titletext,false,'Featured');

$thumb = $thumbnail["thumb"];

print_thumbnail($thumb, $thumbnail["use_timthumb"], $titletext, $width, $height, ''); ?>













">

This is what I get in the Firefox error console:

Error: missing } after function body
Source File: http://wp_1/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.7.1
Line: 5, Column: 28300

Error: jQuery is not defined
Source File: http://wp_1/wp-content/themes/DeepFocus/epanel/shortcodes/js/et_shortcodes_frontend.js?ver=2.0
Line: 245

and a bunch more “jQuery is not defined”

[Mottie]

HI daithi!

I’ll need to see the javascript contained in the head section of your page to be 100% sure, but it sounds like you’re just missing a bracket. Make sure the opening and closing brackets match up. So when you initialize the slider, it should be wrapped and the options should have matching brackets like this:

// document ready - opening ( and {

$(function(){

$('#slider').anythingSlider({ // initialization options - opening ( and {

// bunch o' options here

}); // slider options - closing } and ) - the order is reversed here

}); // document ready - closing } and } - reversed order (curly bracket then parenthesis)

If that doesn’t solve the “jQuery is not defined” issue then you might be using another library like Prototype? If that is the case, then make sure you include jQuery no conflict mode:

But now instead of using “$” in the code above, use “jQuery” in it’s place.

Mottie: I’m wondering if you could look at my similar issue (slides stacking not sliding).
Background: On our old server (media temple dv 3.5) it is working great:
http://205.186.143.51/slideshows/branding.php

On the new server I get the stacking issue:
http://64.207.157.17/slideshows/branding.php

Both are LAMP setups. I’m at a loss re. why anythingslider w/out any code changes works at one and not the other.

[Mottie]

Hi @silverliebt!

The anythingslider.js file is missing:

> http://64.207.157.17/js/anythingslider/js/jquery.anythingslider.js 404 (Not Found)

Everything else looks okay :)

[silverliebt]

Thanks Mottie, that did the trick. Really appreciate the help.

Hello all,
I’m using slides on my site that works in firefox. I’m having trouble running the slideshow in Chrome browser and couldn’t hide play buttons. . The site URL is

https://docs.google.com/document/d/15U4nfriIwJfAOssDKETKukDMiHsBIvNvxsBxwoQdP1Q/edit

Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Mottie]

Hi @ddshiva. The google docs you shared only contains css. Could you share a live demo or more of your code?

And actually, this thread is more in reference of the AnythingSlider plugin, so starting a new thread would probably get more people to look at it and try to help.
