    It sounds like you have a JavaScript problem, could you post a link to the page you are working on?

    I'm having the same problem. FF doesn't report any javascript errors. The site isn't public yet so I can't post a link :-(

    I am having the same problem. My slides are not changing. Here is my URL: http://www.ripplur.com/ - This is a test site so be kind :)

    I am linking to http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js for another jquery function: see here http://www.ripplur.com/work/

    any ideas why meteor slides isn't working?

    anyway, thanks!

    Glad to hear you got it figured out. Sometimes when you have multiple elements that are adding jQuery one can cancel out the copy that another one is using or load an older or newer version of jQuery than it might be intended for.

    Meteor Slides uses the copy of jQuery that is already included in WordPress and lets WordPress handle including it, which seems to cause less problems:

    <?php wp_enqueue_script("jquery"); ?>

    Here is the link:

    I'm just testing the features of the template for the moment. I have used the widget to put on my home page. As you can see, it is not moving, and I have noticed another problem. My menu actually goes underneath the slide.

    It looks like your theme has a built in slider that is conflicting with the slideshow:

    <script type="text/javascript">var slider_image_path = 'http://www.folioobject.com/wp-content/themes/WPStore/images/ajax-loader.gif';</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.folioobject.com/wp-content/themes/WPStore/library/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.folioobject.com/wp-content/themes/WPStore/library/js/jquery.easing.1.3.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.folioobject.com/wp-content/themes/WPStore/library/js/slider.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var slider_speed = 3250;
</script>

    If your disable or remove that the slideshow should work. for the dropdowns, you should just need to tweak the z-index, check out the FAQ for more info.

    I have tweeked the z-index so the dropdowns are showing correctly.

    I have also disabled the JS shown above I still got the following JS error :

    Uncaught TypeError: Object #<an Object> has no method 'cycle'

    Uncaught TypeError: Property '$' of object [object DOMWindow] is not a function

    Thanks for your help

    It is this code after your footer that is doing it:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.folioobject.com/wp-content/themes/WPStore/library/js/jquery-1.2.6.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$().ready(function() {
$('#coda-slider-1').codaSlider();
});
jQuery.noConflict(); var $j = jQuery;
</script>

    Hi,

    I'm also having trouble. Its seems that my slides will not change. Here is a link to the site http://sandiegoactorsnetwork.com

    @digitalvicegrip Everything looks correct, there must be a JavaScript conflict. Meteor Slides should work fine with the Mystique theme, but it looks like the contact and twitter widgets in your sidebar each are loading some JavaScript, I would try to deactivate or disable each of them and test the slideshow to see if one of them is to blame.

    Thanks JLeuze! I deactivated both and then reactivated and then Meteor started working perfectly. Such an awesome plugin!

    Thank you very much, now it is changing but I have another problem, the right arrow disappeared and I cannot see the round button at the bottom allowing me to change pages. In my settings I have set it to "both"

    @digitalvicegrip Thanks, glad you got it figured out!

    @vnguyen The slideshow doesn't quite fit in that spot, so it is being cropped. If you remove the padding from the banner div, you'll see that it fits well. The bottom buttons are there, just hidden somehow in the CSS.

    I have been using this plugin for awhile now and LOVE it..however, it is now not changing the images. I have not changed anything on this page so not sure why the sudden stop? Tried removing the Facebook like button thinking that it may conflict but still didn't change the outcome. Any suggestions Josh?

    Hi, I am having trouble getting a slideshow to advance when next and previous are clicked. Any help would be appreciated.

    I am using the Meteor Slides widget

    Hi, it looks like you are using the slideshow title to load a specific slideshow, like this "Featured Photos". You have to use the slideshow's slug, like this: "featured-photos".

    There is more info on using multiple slideshows in the documentation.

    Hi Josh, I am having the same problem. Could you take a look and point me in the right direction.

    http://aaintergroupnepa.org/wordpress/

    I want to two photos to switch not show up above and below one another.

    thanks,

    Hi ba, there is something wrong with the path to the JavaScript and CSS files for Meteor Slides.

    Look at the path to your theme's stylesheet: http://aaintergroupnepa.org/wordpress/wp-content/themes/mytheme/style.css

    And look at the path for the plugin's stylesheet:
    http://aaintergroupnepa.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/home/content/30/6061730/html/wordpress/wp-content/meteor-slides/css/meteor-slides.css

    Do you have the plugin installed in a non-standard location, or is WordPress itself installed somewhere aside from your site's root folder?

    Hi Josh,
    path to theme stylesheet matches path you stated above.

    My path for the plugin stylesheet is
    /wordpress/wp-content/meteor-slides/css/

    Auto Upgraded to wp3.1 and then downloaded the Meteor plugin automatically from wp.

    Seems like both paths match your suggestions no?

    Any help appreciated,
    ba

    Hi Josh,
    ok let me amend the above. When I click on the links which you so graciously provided for the paths above the path for the plugin stylesheet I got back a "not found"

    However wordpress is in my root and the path on my ftp into the plugin stylesheet is: /wordpress/wp-content/meteor-slides/css/

    Can you tell I am new to WordPress :-)

    Any hints appreciated.

    thanks,
    ba

    Hi Josh, just reading the above and am impressed with your help. My site is http://www.karooplaces.com I have a built in coda slider (part of the theme. It is not working and the theme support has vanished. I'm not a techi although I built the site. Can you see why the slider is not working. Is it possible to remove the coding for the slider. I'd like to install Showtime which is a really great picture player. I'd like to install it in exactly the same space as the coda slider. Is this a big job and is it possible.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hi Keith, if your theme comes with a built in slider, the theme developer would be able to explain how to replace it and might even have documentation on how to do this.

    Hi Josh, thats exactly my problem. I bought the theme based on the features for a travel site. Out of the box it worked, but not any more. As the site matured with plugins and tweaking, the slider stopped and the developer has stopped addressing the issue. Not only me but a stack of other users in the support forum. All asking for help with the slider.
    My preferance would be to remove the slider and install showtime. You can see where the coda slider is now. http://www.karooplaces.com
    It's a tech job which I can't do. Any thoughts on this.
    Thanks for your time and interest.

    Keith
