I am trying to use your slider in a custom full-width template I'm building within the theme I'm using (the theme, Sentence, doesn't have a full-width template). But the slide show is not working and my images appear stacked on top on each other. Here is the page: http://outtacontext.com/wp2/
I read a recent thread here with a similar problem but the solutions you suggested didn't help. I'm sure it must have to do with the template I'm trying to construct (I'm a newbie at that). Here is the code for the template:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Past
*/
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Jeff's Past | Outtacontext</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo get_bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/css/layout.css?v=1" type="text/css" media="screen"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo get_bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/css/custom.css" type="text/css" media="screen"/>
<!-- google webfont font replacement -->
<link id="google_webfont_1" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Varela+Round" />
<?php
/* add javascript */
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
//wp_enqueue_script( 'avia-html5-video' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'avia-default' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'avia-social' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'avia-prettyPhoto' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'aviapoly-slider' );
/* We add some JavaScript to pages with the comment form
* to support sites with threaded comments (when in use).
*/
if ( is_singular() && get_option( 'thread_comments' ) ) { wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ); }
?>
</head>
<body id="past_background">
<?php wp_head(); ?>
<div class="past_center">
<?php echo do_shortcode("[metaslider id=787]"); ?>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://outtacontext.com/wp2/index.php">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="http://outtacontext.com/wp2/blog">Blog Archives</a></li>

</ul>
</div>
</div>
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>
I just want a very simple template and don't want to use any of the design elements of my theme (at this point). The rest of the site looks like this: http://outtacontext.com/wp2/
