WordPress Slideshow Issues with the ordering of the slides

alanpecan

Hi,

I placed my slideshow onto the index.php using the following code which puts the slideshow on the page and works great. The issue is the slide order. I do the order the slides and place them the way that I want but the slideshow changes it on the page to a different order than what is showing in WordPress.

Code on index.php

<?php if (function_exists('slideshow')) { slideshow(true, "1", false, array()); } ?>

Of course, I tried using the shortcode [slideshow gallery_id="1"] but when I go to the page to view it then it just shows the code instead of the slideshow.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Sincerely,

Hi Jeffrey,

Thanks for your post.

Perhaps you can try the following, to add the shortcode to your template using the following PHP code:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[slideshow gallery_id="1"]'); ?>

Then order the slides under Slideshow > Manage Galleries by clicking on the "Order Slides" link for a gallery: http://screencast.com/t/eTrRRY5442W7

Please let us know if this works for you, will you?

Best regards,

Phil

Hi, 

I am having the same problem.  I have ordered the slides the way I want and that is how they appear when I go to "Order Slides" but they are in a totally different order when viewing the slideshow.  I also use the shortcode.

Thanks

Same problem for me as well, the order index in the manage slides page is correct to how I want, whereas the display order on the page is different.

Cheers,

Hello guys,

Thank you for getting in contact with us.

Could you just check to see whether you're using the correct method to order the slides?

- If you use the simple shortcode [slideshow], then slides should be ordered under Slideshow > Manage Slides

- If you use the shortcode [slideshow post_id="X"], then slides should be ordered by sorting the images you uploaded to the source post.

- If you use the shortcode [slideshow gallery_id="x"], then slides should be ordered under Slideshow > Manage Galleries by clicking on the "Order Slides" link for a gallery: http://screencast.com/t/eTrRRY5442W7

I hope this helps? Please let us know, I look forward to your reply.

I've just deleted my previous comment : I had a problem ordering slides but after updating the plugin update everything sorted out.
