Frontpage Slideshow not loading images in IE 7 or 8
I am pretty sure this is not limited to ATA, but maybe if this problem can be solved, the answer can help the group. I have tried everything I can think of. Seems like jquery is just a bedeviling thing. I am not married to this particular plugin, but I have never been able to get anything to work that simply shows a dynamic gallery of the recent posts, images or whatever. This is the only thing that even comes close to working (I hate IE!!). I am totally open to suggestions if anyone has found a better plugin that will work with this configuration.
plugin is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...age-slideshow/ Wordpress 3.0.1 Atahualpa 3.5.3 Buttons are removed, transition is fade. URL is http://durninghouse.com Plugins: Akismet, Clean-Contact, Image Widget, List Category posts, Secure Wordpress, Simple Section Navigation Widget, Wordpress Database Backup. I was only having problems with IE 7 and IE 8, and then just intermittently. It works fine on Chrome, Firefox and even on my Iphone with Safari. Initially I was able to see error text in my browser that showed there was a conflict with a plug in called Connections. I wasn't using it anyway so I deactivated and deleted. I still have images not loading intermittently in IE7 and IE 8 - like everyone else it seems like if the cache is clear, the images show up. Like, if you go to a fresh computer and open the site in IE, it's OK. It seems to be cycling through the posts but not showing images. Removing all the plugins and re-activating didn't help a lot because it's so intermittent. I think I've found the culprit and then the problem reappears. The problem happens in the default TwentyTen theme also so I don't think it's the theme. I was using the newest version of Frontpage-Slideshow. So, I downgraded to .8 and installed manually. Same result. I really like this plugin a lot and would like to use it but unfortunately IE is still the most-uses browser so I can't have this not work. |
It seems like I had some issues with that plugin and started using Dynamic Content Gallery instead.

That looks nice, thanks for the suggestion.
Am I right that you can configure it to choose the image and content and everything automatically? It kind of needs to be set it and forget it. |
The content yes but the image is something you add to a field when adding a page. I like this better because sometimes the image I am putting in a page is not the right size for the slideshow or perhaps I don't even want an image showing on the page.

Thanks again - I installed Dynamic Content Gallery, and I don't think manually pasting image URLs is really going to work for this case. I would rather that everything is chosen automatically, which is what I love about Frontpage-Slideshow.
I couldn't get Smooth Slider to work at all. I am pretty sure I have tried almost every dynamic content type plugin and this is as close to success as I have ever gotten. |
Have you checked on the Frontpage support site for answers?
|
Yes, other people have the same problem and I added my question with all the details to the list. No responses yet but if it gets solved I will share it here so it helps someone else.
