   Hello all,

   I just uploaded Frontpage Slideshow to my Woo Themed WordPress. I placed the fpss folder in the root of my site. (mysite.com/fpss) I can go to mysite.com/reademe.txt and read the necessary readme file. I made the changes to my index.php for mysite and absoluteserverpath and uploaded the index.php file. When I go to my Manage Plugin, I do not see the plugin as active, instead I read the following:

   "If something goes wrong with a plugin and you can’t use WordPress, delete or rename that file in the /home/content/W/a/l/Walker9/html/20strong/wp-content/plugins directory and it will be automatically deactivated."

   Any help is greatly appreciated.

   Thanks in advance =)

   The readme says to upload the frontpage slideshow (fpss) to the root of my file. I did. It says to make the edits to the code ,mysite.com, and the absoluteserverpath, and add to php.index. I did. It says then to open a browser and go to mysite.com/index.php and I should see the demo. I don't. Nothing happens at all.

   I checked with my host, GoDaddy, and confirmed my absoluteserverpath. My index.php looks like this:

   <?php get_header(); ?>

   <div id="centercol" class="grid_10">

   <?php
   // START of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
   $nameOfSlideshowToDisplay = "myslideshow"; // Enter the name of your slideshow. Slideshows are in folders inside /fpss/slideshows/.
   $URLofyoursite = "http://20strong.com"; // Enter your site's URL.
   $AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = "/home/content/w/a/l/walker9/html/20strong"; // Enter the root path of your site on the server.

   // do not edit below this line
   include_once($AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite."/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php");
   // END of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
   ?>

   I'm thankful for any help.

   hmm... ok

   what index.php looks like what you pasted??? your themes index.php?? NO it does not. If you edited the index.php at the root of your site you edited the wrong one.

   Did you paste only part of the file??

   ---
   http://20strong.com//fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php

   http://20strong.com/fpss/slideshows/configuration.php

   did you edit that configuration file?

   Here is the index.php that I pasted, below:

   <?php get_header(); ?>

   <div id="centercol" class="grid_10">

   <?php
   // START of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
   $nameOfSlideshowToDisplay = "myslideshow"; // Enter the name of your slideshow. Slideshows are in folders inside /fpss/slideshows/.
   $URLofyoursite = "http://20strong.com"; // Enter your site's URL.
   $AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = "/home/content/W/a/l/Walker9/html/20strong"; // Enter the root path of your site on the server.

   // do not edit below this line
   include_once($AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite."/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php");
   // END of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
   ?>

   <?php if (get_option('woo_show_blog') == false) { ?>

   <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/featured.php'); ?>

   <?php

   $layout = get_option('woo_layout');

   include('layouts/'.$layout);

   ?>

   <?php } else { include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/stdblog.php'); } ?>

   </div><!--/centercol-->

   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   I only edited mysite.com to 20strong.com and the absoluteserverpath.

   The path would be 20 Strong / wp-content / Themes / Freshnews / index.php

   I did not edit the mod_fpslidesshow.php or the configuration.php yet. At this point, I'm only trying to view the demo. Once I can see the demo, then I'll add my slides and edit the configuration.php.

   What are your thoughts?

   Thanks

   Whooami,

   Thanks for your effort. I honestly appreciate your help with this. Fortunately, I was able to get some help with WooThemes as well. In this case, my code edits were correct. Thanks to GoDaddy support, and WooThemes support as well. The fix was to paste the code into my home.php instead of my index.php.

   All is working now. I see the demo working in place.

   I will now configure the fpss to fit in my feature content and upload my slides.

   Thanks again! =)

   Sorry for the delay in this post reply. I was not aware of your last post Whooami.

   With regard to the Front Page Slideshow (fpss) install. I followed the static version installation instructions as given by fpss install readme.

   The only difference was to paste the code below into my home.php instead of the index.php. Everything worked fine after that.

   Cheers

   <?php
   // START of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
   $nameOfSlideshowToDisplay = "myslideshow"; // Enter the name of your slideshow. Slideshows are in folders inside /fpss/slideshows/.
   $URLofyoursite = "http://20strong.com"; // Enter your site's URL.
   $AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = "/absolute server path"; // Enter the root path of your site on the server.

   // do not edit below this line
   include_once($AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite."/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php");
   // END of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
   ?>
