Troubleshooting:

Thumbnails are being generated automatically via wordpress built-in functionality. There is no need to support timthumb anymore. If you are already using the plugin with images, you will need to regenerate thumbnails (regenerate thumbnails plugin). If you are customizing image-size you will need to regenerate as well!

    Hi,

    Using „jquery.cycle.all.min.js“ instead of „jquery.cycle.all.2.72.js“ saves 10kb of download and appears to perform the same required functions:

    Hey, I love your plugin! I was just wondering if it’s possible to sort the slider by date? So that the latest post is put at the start of the slider? Thanks, I look forward to your reply 🙂

    • Matthew Joss sagt:

      Ok, I figured out how to order them by date. Go to Plugins > Editor. Select WP Featured Content Slider. Under Plugin Files select „wp-featured-content-slider/content-slider.php“. Scroll down the file content until you come to the custom database query. When you see this line „AND (wposts.post_type = ‚post‘ OR wposts.post_type = ‚page‘);“ highlight the whole line and paste this over it:

      AND (wposts.post_type = ‚post‘ OR wposts.post_type = ‚page‘)
      ORDER BY wposts.post_date DESC
      „;

      It worked for me 🙂

        Hello everyone,

        I’m trying to use the WP Featured Content Slider on this blog but can’t get it to appear. I use Coraline for a theme. Matthew Joss, I used your edit to the php but still no change. I installed it through WP plugin directory. Any suggestions? I really think that I could customize this plugin nicely for my blog.

        • Lydia sagt:

          Hi again, I finally figured out how to get the slider going on my Home page just above content area. For basic instructions for any novice like me, send me a message on my contact page. The slider works well and is relatively simple to set.

          • Lydia sagt:

            I just switched to full screen view but I am getting this enormous white space between slides. Anyway I can get a smaller, better looking spacing between slides? Also, there is an unslightly space between my header and my slider; how can I eliminate that?

        Reihenfolge / Order
        Ich bekomme das mit der Reihenfolge der Anzeige nicht geändert … ich denke mir das sind die Zeilen in der PHP die geändert werden müssen … aber was muss ich ändern ?

        I get this with the order of display is not changed … I think to myself these are the lines in the PHP must be changed… but what I have to change?

        if($post->post_type == „post“ || $post->post_type == „page“) {
        update_post_meta($post->ID, „feat_slider“, $_POST[„feat_slider“]);
        }

    First off… wicked plugin. It’s working great. I’m not sure if this is the correct behavior. When I click on a featured article the banner for the article page becomes the image that was inserted in the post. If it is normal, can I disable something so my sites banner is shown?

  4. finid sagt:

    The slider is showing the code for links in the content of the posts. Can it be tweaked to render the codes as true links?

  5. Miguel Escamilla sagt:

    Is it possible to limit the amount of posts that the slider shows?

  6. Hi,

    your plugin works fine but is it possible to make it compatible with Custom Post Types.

    I’d like to create „Slides“ item in the WordPress administration instead of using Pages.

    Thanks

    Hallo Zusammen

    First of all: I’ve tested quite a few content slider before your plugin has been the most convincing one!

    After update WP to 3.2 the plugin’s not working anymore. No more sliding but one item below the other. Is there a hack or will there be soon an update?

    The insertion is made through the php include, by the way.

    Cheers from Switzerland!

  8. Michael Turk sagt:

    If you’d like to further limit the plugin to show only a set number of posts, add this:

    AND wposts.post_date < NOW()
    ORDER BY wposts.post_date DESC
    LIMIT 0,5";

    That will put your posts in order by most recent first, and limit the display to the most recent 5. If you want more posts, just change the number five to whatever number you would like to show.

    If you want the oldest posts (not sure why you would, but hey…) then change the DESC to ASC and it will grab the five oldest posts.

  9. Chris Ward sagt:

    @Aurélien i needed to do the same with custom post types, you need to change you need to do the following,

    1) featured-content-slider.php – add the following line to the feat_init() functions below the other 2

    add_meta_box(„feat_slider“, „Featured Content Slider Options“, „feat_meta“, „NAME-OF-CUSTOM-POST-TYPE“, „normal“, „high“);

    2) featured-content-slider.php – add the following OR statement to save_feat() function

    if($post->post_type == „post“ || $post->post_type == „page“ || $post->post_type == „NAME-OF-CUSTOM-POST-TYPE“)

    3)content-slider.php – add to the sql satement on line 124

    AND (wposts.post_type = ‚post‘ OR wposts.post_type = ‚page‘ OR wposts.post_type = ‚NAME-OF-CUSTOM-POST-TYPE‘)“;

    How do I control the speed of the slider? Items changes too quickly. I really like this slider. Very easy to use.

    Hello,

    this is a great plugin. Thank you so much!!

    Just a little question. Is it possible zu have different sliding effects for the „previous“ and „next“ event?
    I think the user experience would be increased strongly if there would be a „slide to left“ effect if the user clicks on the „next“ button and a „slide to right“ effect when clicked on prev. Is that possible?

    Thank you.

    Hi, and tnx for your nice plug in. Got some headache about it thou… 🙂

    Installed it, and measured it just fine. Fits perfect on my front page. But when I try and add more post to it, (more than 1), it won’t act as a slider, but instead it puts everything on a „pile“, above the content on the front page.

    I’ve re-intalled the plug-in, and tried it on a „post“ using [featslider], but it acts the same way.

    Any ideas?

    Ps. It’s only one on the page now, since the page is public, and I don’t want to mess with it too much. But I can send you screen dump if you want to.

    Wunderschönes und einfaches Plugin!

    Hab nur ein Problem und zwar das die Inhalte verschiedener Custom Fields (erstellt mit Advanced Custom Fields) nicht angezeigt werden.

    In meinem Template ist kein Loop drin. Es gibt 5 Custom Fields, eins für den Content Slider und 4 für Boxen unterhalb vom Slider. Diese 4 Boxen werden nicht angezeigt.

    Leg ich den Slider allerdings unter die 4 Boxen, werden sowohl die Boxen als auch der Slider angezeigt.

    Hier mal die grobe Struktur:

    Hat vielleicht jemand eine Idee?

    I just installed the 2.2 version of the WP Featured Content Plugin and it broke on my site. The 2.1 version worked fine but the Javascript seems not to be working. You can view it on my test site http://teknoziz.com/clients/ci/blog. Thanks for your help.

    Looking at the source code of the plugin, it seems it points to a script in the plugin folder in /scripts/ which doesn’t exist. I uploaded a jQuery file from github at https://github.com/malsup/cycle/tree/100b4008489cd5e0122251bb2bbec728e8d20a60 and changed the URL to match, slider works again. Your automatic updater did not seem to include the file „/wp-content/plugins/wp-featured-content-slider/scripts/jquery.cycle.all.2.72.js“ at all, so hope this helps anyone else needing a fix.

  18. Sanat Hegde sagt:

    Hi,

    I’ve just solved a bug where the js does not load if the site address is different from the wordpress url. I’ve fixed it by changing the bloginfo() to siteurl on line 24

    wp_register_script(‚jquery.cycle‘, site_url() . ‚/wp-content/plugins/wp-featured-content-slider/scripts/jquery.cycle.all.2.72.js‘, array(‚jquery‘), ‚1.3‘ );

    Hope you fix it in the plugin.

    Hi. Great plugin. Does anyone know of a way to have the slide pause when you mouse over it?

  20. Jennifer sagt:

    Nevermind, confict and found it!

  21. Son Ngo sagt:

    Awesome plugin, is there a way to include multiple instant of this plugin on your site with each instant displaying post from a different category? Thanks in advance!!!

  22. Caro sagt:

    I like this plugin and i have installed it. One problem: it includes all the text of the post and just one line. What can I do? Can anybody help?

  23. Slider…

    Dem auf­merk­sa­men Leser des Bloghauses ist es nicht ent­gan­gen: seit heute gibt es (wie­der) einen Slider, der die letz­ten fünf wich­tigs­ten Artikel1 durch­lau­fen läßt. Was sagt Ihr dazu? Nic also die, die mir wichtig erscheinen ↩……

  24. Mark sagt:

    In the new version it only loads 5 posts into the slider, how can you change this? Can i f.e load 15 posts? thanks

  25. Hi! A fellow that I have tweak my sites installed your plugin and it is awesome! However, when you first load the home page, the slider jitters and shifts during the loading process. You can see it on my site. But, if you were to go to another page on the site and then go back to the home page from there, it loads perfectly.

    Do you have any suggestions, please, to correct this odd behavior? Thanks in advance!
