I am using a meteor slideshow in a service page of my ET and for some reason it is aligned to the right. All other content in the service page is aligned to the left. What am I missing?
See this page:

The "TEST IMAGE" is a standalone PNG. Below it you can see the slideshow is aligned to the right and cut off on the right side. I've looked all through the CSS & can't find what's doing this. Can you help me please?
Just for future reference, the answer to this question is over here in this thread.
Hey Dave, in your slideshow you are loading a specific slideshow using "Test4", which looks like the slideshow's title, make sure you use the slideshow slug, which might look like this: "test4". Using the title instead can cause conflicts.

Yeah :-) That's the answer you emailed to me yesterday - I posted it there. Thanks for getting back to me, I really appreciate it. I'm new to WP and am still working through CSS, so I really appreciate your help. Your plug-in works great - exactly what we needed.
I don't quite follow you on the "Test4" versus "test4" comment. Are you talking about it's usage in the shortcode where I should reference the slug rather than the name? [meteor_slideshow slideshow="Test4" metadata="height: 126, width: 200"]
Thanks again Josh.
Yes exactly, make sure you use the slug when using multiple slideshows rather than the title:
[meteor_slideshow slideshow="test4" metadata="height: 126, width: 200"]

OK...so another weird thing is happening now. I added my first post (recipe for BLT Rollers), and it is showing up on the service page immediately after your slideshow. Every setting I can find shows that NO posts are to be shown on the home page anywhere. Do you have any idea why this post is showing?
You'd have to check your theme template for that section, there must be loop in there somewhere loading that post.

A moderator in the elegant themes forum thinks this is somehow related to the meteor slides plug in. Here is the code for the home page, can you see what would be causing the issue?
Here is the home.php code - can anyone tell me what code to delete so no posts will be shown?

If you can share your code on Pastebin.com, I can take a look.

Ok - here's the link. The code is for home.php. Please let me know if you need code from any other templates, I'll post them ASAP.
I don't see the slideshow shortcode in that file anywhere, is it in the footer?

The slideshow short code is in a service page. This is the code:

[meteor_slideshow slideshow="test4" metadata="height: 126, width: 200"]
Oh, so you are loading pages with a loop there, I thought those were widgets, you might try using widgets for something like this in the future.
One thing that stands out to me is that the page loop and slide loop both use the $i variable, maybe they are conflicting. Try using a custom slideshow template in your theme, and find/replace the $i in the slideshow template with $meteor_i.

OK. I did that. I tried putting it in these folders (one at a time)
/wp-content/themes/SimplePress
/wp-content/themes/SimplePress/includes
And there is no change - the post is still showing up on the home page.

If there's a different way to rotate images on a service page (widget or otherwise), I'm open to suggestions. I'm new at WP, so I really don't know all the different ways to skin the cat.
I don't think I'm understanding exactly how you have this setup, could you email me some login info so that I can take a look at the backend?

no problem - just sent it.
Thanks, I got it working, it was the slideshow loop conflicting with the custom page loop, I updated the slideshow loop and it is working now.
This is a bug that will be fixed in the next release of Meteor Slides so you can move the meteor-slideshow.php file from your theme back into the plugin's includes directory and when you update the plugin the fix that I added will be included in the update and it'll continue to work fine.

No problem Dave!
