This release of the WordPress slideshow gallery plugin should improve some of the features overall and also adds some new functionality. Here is a list of changes…
- IMPROVED
WordPress 2.9 draggable meta boxes. - BUG FIX
wp_redirect() fatal error in dashboard. - ADDED
TinyMCE plugin button to add shortcodes. - ADDED
“exclude” parameter to work in conjunction with the “post_id” parameter to exclude attachments by order. - CHANGE
Changed #wrapper to #slideshow-wrapper on the front-end.
I hope that you enjoy this new release! You can either use the automatic update feature in the ‘Plugins’ section if you already have the WordPress slideshow gallery plugin installed or you can download it directly from WordPress.org by going here.

Hey, for some reason the images aren’t showing up. I have done everything right but they are not showing. Please help. The slideshow is on my home page.

It is a decent idea.,Aaralyn

The only real way to make this us full is via the
[slideshow custom=1]
And you can add custom photos and number them 1,2,3..etc..above.
But where you add more photos under manage slides, there is no identification to see what number each as been assigned. So yo have to count from the bottom up if you’ve added something recently that is next to something you added months or weeks ago or maybe even pages of them, then you have to count. Seems pretty lame for something soo cool. Maybe they/you can add that feature????
Thanks for reading

Love the plugin! It’s on our web site, front and center – but I can’t find any way to order the slides! Pressing “order slides” brings me to a page where I can drag and rearrange them fine but it’s always a last inserted, last frame issue. All slides show order number “1″ so I’d appreciate a tip – or to hear it’s a known bug.

plugin is not installing. it giving “apache server error ”
please help me.

Hi,
Great plugin, but I have a question. The plugin seems to work in every browser but IE. Is this a compatibility issue? My server is PHP 5 enabled. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
#7 by IRENE on June 14, 2010 - 2:19 am
Hi There!
Love the easy-to-use-plugin! I came across this plugin when I had to delete other slideshow plugins. Just one thing I need, is there any way I remove hover links on the photos? In other words, I don’t want visitors to ‘click’ on the slideshow; I just went them to view. Please let me know if this is possible. My v2 website is: http://www.cakedla.com/v2
Thank you so much! I LOVE this plugin! Awesome work!

This has been asked before once, but not answered.. is there a way to turn off the hyperlinking to the image if so desired (the way you have for your own sample gallery?). I think this is a great gallery for portfolios, but if you have right click disabled your site to discourage saving of images the linked image does not contain that restriction..
Thanks!

This plugin is fantastic, easy to use, and nicely customizable. And Antonie is excellent and very helpful Thank you on a wonderful piece of work.
#10 by piksalh on June 25, 2010 - 12:53 am
The plugin is great! Thank You! But i cant find one thing – how to change the background color of the place where the big image is showing? default is black #000000 and i searched every plugins file for it – no luck. Anyone knows how to change it? You can see that color only if you set not to resize images. Slideshow background option changes everything except this color. Help, please! *
#11 by Rob on July 2, 2010 - 12:31 pm

#12 by Amber Renee on July 4, 2010 - 10:43 pm
I have a quick question.. how do you disable the mouseover to open image in new window? It seems to be disabled on your slide here.
#13 by ozgur on July 6, 2010 - 7:57 am
Any solutions for IE link problem?
#14 by Wilford on July 7, 2010 - 5:04 pm
I need to second this comment. Please advise how to order slides. When I use this feature they all show the order as being “1″.
#15 by Wilford on July 7, 2010 - 5:05 pm
Again, great plugin, but my audience is also very IE-heavy. I need either a fix or I’ll have to turn to something else.
#16 by Ray on July 11, 2010 - 8:08 pm
I really love this plug in and I want to use it, but it is not SEO friendly.
Is there anyway to get ALT IMAGE TAGS for optimal SEO ?
Please respond at least give me a time frame on an update, this plug in is perfect, but without regard for SEO , its dangerous.
PLease respond, please help. PUUUleeeze, cause finding a good easy to use SEO slideshow is damnear impossible.
#17 by Jennifer Montbach on July 14, 2010 - 5:54 pm
Beautiful plugin.
Two questions:
1. How to reorder slides? I can click the Order Slides button and drag them around but the order doesn’t change. Am I missing something?
2. Slideshow covers menu drop-downs in IE. Any way to fix this?
3. Sometimes only one thumbnail loads, but the photos always work fine.
Thanks!
#18 by canute on July 15, 2010 - 5:37 pm
hey!
i just installed and its working great
but im having a weird error on chrome
the first time a gallery is loaded, it only shows one thumbnail, and the up slide with bigger images loads all of them, is like the thumbs from above dissapear.
but, second time i load the page, it works great.
this is not happening on firefox or explorer. any idea?
#19 by Shruti on July 17, 2010 - 3:22 am
Hi there,
Just wondering if this plug in can be used as a homepage gallery only – and set to use the most recent post from each category.
#20 by Carlo napoletano on July 17, 2010 - 9:20 am
Ho risolto il problema, c’era un plugin che disturbava e che ho tolto. Ora funziona tutto bene.

#21 by mike on July 21, 2010 - 4:47 am
any word on the links not working in IE yet? Great plugin by the way, thank you!!
#22 by james on July 26, 2010 - 9:07 am
it would be great to be able to post two galleries per page, now if you put in the code with a different id, only one of the galleries will work,
stumped
#23 by Jimba on August 2, 2010 - 5:41 am
I couldnot see the thumbnails.. how to appear thumbnails? will it appear default?
#24 by roger on August 17, 2010 - 11:59 am
It seems that the download for 1.0.5 on the wordpress site does not include the tinymce button…
Someone able to validate this?
I expect it to reside in the /js folder of the plugin, but I only seem to have two normal .js files and no tinymce folder.
#25 by Vignesh on August 21, 2010 - 6:04 am
Hey would it be possible to set and active slide feature. As in maybe even though its the third slide we want that one to be the active slide. Kind of gives a perspective of past events and new events.
#26 by m on August 31, 2010 - 9:17 pm
Hi thanks for this awesome plugin, works perfectly.
I needed to disable the middle link button too like those above.
for those who also need to do that.
I went to views/default/gallery.php
and I took out line 56
” ”
that did the trick. not sure if that’s the right way but it worked.
Originally I just tried to hide it view css but for some odd reason this caused the slideshow to flicker and blink. not sure why.
anyway…truly a great plugin many thanks for putting this out there for us to use!!
#27 by Jo on September 12, 2010 - 3:11 pm
Any fix for the links not working in IE yet? please please please desperately need this to work!
#28 by Sven Vanbrabant on September 15, 2010 - 3:41 pm
I implemented the plugin, and the result is great.
However, I have a problem:
In my slideshows I prefer not to resize the pictures. So in my slideshow I have smaller and bigger pictures. But when a smaller picture follows a bigger picture in the slideshow, the bigger picture is still vissible behind the smaller one.
See http://www.reyskens.be/hasselt/index.php/vi-spring/ for the result.
This problem does not occur when a portrait size picture follows a landscape size picture.
Can anyone help me?
Thanking you in advance.
#29 by Gedy on September 27, 2010 - 9:44 am
Hello,
I was wondering if you have an FAQ section. I’m having problems with the slideshow displaying and was wondering if anyone else had the same issue and how they were able to fix it.
Just in case you have time to answer back – basically what’s happening is that the HTML is showing (like in Firebug) but it’s not actually rendering completely. So it shows the slideshow as a “display: none”.
I really need help as this project is an emergency project and this is the only slideshow that I’ve always worked with.
Thank you,
Gedy
#30 by johngates on September 29, 2010 - 4:25 pm
Great Plugin!!! Worked as designed for the first of four slideshows I have on my clients site. The only one I can “manage” (re-order, add descriptions, etc) is the first one I created. How do I get the “Manage Slideshows” feature to “see” the other three???
THANX!!!
John

çok teşekkürler thank you very good
#32 by Ibrahim Alba on October 3, 2010 - 9:15 am
Looks like nobody is responding to the IE compatibility link problem.
He Mr. Slideshow man.. Its a nice plugin but how about some help here..
#33 by Tom on October 7, 2010 - 7:17 am
There is no way to order the slides. Can you please give us an answer…. other people are wondering the same thing?
#34 by ilithya on October 10, 2010 - 10:26 pm
Hello,
Great plugin!
I was just wondering, if there’s a way to stop/pause the slideshow on mouseover, and let it continue on mouseout?
Thanks!
#35 by Paul Reilly on October 13, 2010 - 3:37 pm
Thanks for the great plugin! I have one suggestion – I just had to spent awhile trying to figure out why the plugin was breaking other parts of my site – finally i realized that it’s because I had other #slideshow divs on some pages. I might suggest changing your class names to something more arbitrary, so conflicts don’t arise accidentally.
#36 by ilithya on October 13, 2010 - 7:10 pm
Hi Antonie,
I have the same problem as Toby (#1).
When I see pages with the plugin in Safari and Chrome, it only shows 3 or 4 thumnails (even when I have 30). And only when I switch to another page and then come back. Then it displays the 30 thumnails correctly.
But never the first time I land in that page. Any clue why’s that happening?
I’ll appreciate if you know why. Thanks again!
Happy coding.
#37 by kvnthng on October 29, 2010 - 3:15 pm
BUMP!
I have just noticed the IE issue too!
Please fix the link issue!
Thanks
#38 by Steve Ray on November 16, 2010 - 2:28 am
When will the IE link bug be fixed? I just installed this on client site, and the links work fine in everything but IE — but not at all in IE.
#39 by Nike Gunawan on November 18, 2010 - 1:31 pm
Hi, thanks for the plugin, I like it a lot.
However, did anybody manage to have multiple slideshow in two different pages with different set of custom photos?
[slideshow custom=1]
I tried to do
[slideshow custom=1,2] and [slideshow custom=3,4]
but both slideshow show everything from id 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Could you please help? Thanks in advance.
#40 by Manuela on November 18, 2010 - 8:59 pm
Hi. Just installed your great Slideshow Gallery plugin. Love the “exclude” option. One question: I do not seem to be able to run two slideshows in one post. Only one at a time works. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.
#41 by Antonie Potgieter on November 18, 2010 - 9:31 pm
@Manuela,
It is not currently possible to show 2 slideshows on the same page of a website because the ID values conflict. We will try to make this possible in a future release. Did you see that v1.1 of the Slideshow Gallery plugin was released today?
All the best,
Antonie
#42 by Antonie Potgieter on November 18, 2010 - 10:13 pm
@Steve,
The IE link bug has now been fixed in v1.1 of the Slideshow Gallery plugin.
All the best,
Antonie
#43 by Erin on February 27, 2011 - 7:03 pm
I am having a hard time getting the slideshow on my landing page…
do I just put this in the html?
slideshow($output = true, $post_id = null); } ?>
#44 by Nicole on April 25, 2011 - 4:06 am
How do I create more than one slideshow to put in two different posts? Is that possible?
#45 by Andre CHiarelli on May 24, 2011 - 9:47 pm
Same problem #4, wich is still not answered: …” I can’t find any way to order the slides! Pressing “order slides” brings me to a page where I can drag and rearrange them fine but it’s always a last inserted, last frame issue…”
#46 by Felix on August 5, 2011 - 1:59 am
Hi, my slideshow is not being displayed correctly on my front page. I can only see half of it. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot !
#47 by z on September 15, 2011 - 2:14 pm
images not showing- found the problem.
well, my images ware not showing 2. i went inside the :
/wp-content/uploads/slideshow-gallery/
deleted the folder:
slideshow-gallery
created a new folder and named it:
slideshow-gallery
gave it a 777 permission and it’s now showing the photos…
#48 by z on September 15, 2011 - 2:15 pm
hi man, you just need to delete the folder “slideshow-gallery” in :
wp-content/uploads/slideshow-gallery/
and re-create it, then giv it a 777 permission and it will work
#49 by rick on November 17, 2011 - 6:01 pm
This seems to be a big problem. It is apparent the he does not know how to fix it and he is not going to comment on it.. So much for going pro.
#50 by varsha on November 18, 2011 - 8:04 am
hello…
