    StudioPress Enterprise theme 1.1
    Meteor Slides 1.5

    I have Meteor Slides running by inserting the shortcode into a page just fine, but when I try to add it to the home page by dragging the Meteor Slides widget into the home-top-2 widget area, it’s not displaying on the page (just blank white space). When I view under Firebug, I don’t see the Meteor Slides code, just an empty home-top-2 div. I can see the meteor slides code on the page which runs the shortcode just fine (Contact Us page).

    I have 2 slides, 600×235. Any suggestions why this works via shortcode, but not widget? Thank you very much for your help!

    Hi, looks like this is actually a bug, that Home Top #2 widget area is registered, so you can add widgets to it, but it isn’t loaded in the homepage template.

    If you open the home.php file for the Enterprise child theme, you’ll see on lines 20 and 21, it is checking for the WP Cycle plugin instead:

    if ( function_exists( 'wp_cycle' ) )
		wp_cycle();

    Remove that and replace it with this and you should be able to load the Meteor Slides Widget there:

    dynamic_sidebar( 'home-top-2' );

    Thank you Josh. I will let StudioPress know of the bug. It works now.

    Meteor Slides 1.5
    Responsive Theme 1.7.8
    WPML 2.6

    I’ve created the same slide in multiple languages and I’ve created multiple slideshows in each language. Custom taxonomies are enabled in WPML. I’m using multiple MS widgets to display the corresponding slideshow on the Home Featured widget of the theme, with Widget Logic used for each MS widget for each language. The MS widget picks up the right slideshows when I’m in each language (via the WPML display dropdown). But each time I save the MS widget, it goes back to displaying only the English slideshows… I’ve tried the shortcode in a text widget and it doesn’t work either. Could you please steer me in the right direction?

    Sorry, here is the site, under progress: adic-org.com. You can try between English and French. I haven’t put in the rest yet…
