   Hello,

   I attempted to add a specific slideshow to a post and it does not show.

   I used the following shortcode in the new post box, under html:
   [meteor_slideshow slideshow="test-slide"]

   the slideshow's slug is titled "test-slide"

   the post is blank, though there appears to be space.

   Advance apologies if I am missing something obvious. I am new to wordpress and coding.

   Thank you for any help,
   Whatsada

   Hi Whatsada, the slides are loading, but the images appear to be blank: http://slugvslion.tv/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/test23-940x200.gif

   I think it might be an issue with files or the file format, do the images transparency? Try saving them as JPGs if you can and re-uploading them.

   JLeuze, thank you for the quick reply! I changed the files to JPGs and you were right, they work now. However in the new test post, now there is no slideshow at all. Instead it shows the two slides on top of one another on the main page, and only one of the slides in the post page.

   No problem, there is a JavaScript conflict. Looks like your theme has some jQuery that is using the "$" shortcut, but WordPress loads jQuery in no-conflict mode, which disables this shortcut.

   Try replacing the first line of this file:

   $(function(){

   With this line:

   jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

   Or just swapping the $ shortcuts with the full "jQuery" versions instead.
