Are the links being added to slides that don’t have a link at all, or is it only rewriting the links already in the slides, or both?
The XML site map plugin should only only generate links inside the XML file, not on your site. What other plugins do you have running? You could try deactivating them to test for conflicts.
It doesn’t matter, I tried to assign links to them and remove them and I still get the same result. I even removed all of the images and restarted the entire slideshow and got the same results.
I went through and deactivated and tested each plugin one at a time and tested and nothing worked. I’m at a complete loss.
One thing to confirm, I see that you are using W3 Total Cache, did you disable this while testing the other plugins, or clear the cache?
But it looks like it could be a problem with your theme. It looks like Kimbo has a built in slider that is loading a lot of files:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="http://www.modernmail.com/wp-content/themes/kimbo/slider.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.modernmail.com/wp-content/themes/kimbo/js/easing-1.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.modernmail.com/wp-content/themes/kimbo/js/slider.js"></script>
And also a script for the “anythingSlider”.
I would also check the theme’s functions.php file for anything related to that slider, it could be filtering the slides and adding links or something.
I dumped the css and javascripts and disabled W3 and am still having the error. Even if I use the menus and change all the URLs, I still get that ?slide=blahblah mess. I can’t find the word “slide” anywhere else in there, so I don’t know where to look. Any other ideas?
Thanks!
That’s about all that I can deduce from the front-end. Could you email me some login info so I can check out the back-end?
For anyone else who runs into a problem like this, the Kimbo theme has a filter in the functions.php file that automatically adds a post link to any post thumbnail, including the slide images for Meteor Slides:
add_filter( 'post_thumbnail_html', 'my_post_image_html', 10, 3 );
function my_post_image_html( $html, $post_id, $post_image_id ) {
$html = '<a href="' . get_permalink( $post_id ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( get_post_field( 'post_title', $post_id ) ) . '">' . $html . '</a>';
return $html;
};
Hi there, I’m having the exact same problem. I’m using the ‘add filter…’ in my functions.php to wrap other post thumbnails with a link to their respective posts. Do you have any idea how I can keep using Meteor and still wrap my other post thumbnails with the link? Can I use some kind of conditional statement in functions.php do you think?
Many thanks
Michael
Hi Michael, the simplest way around that would be to edit the theme direct rather than using a filter by adding the links to the post thumbnails like this:
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a>
But if you are using a framework or something that you can’t edit, I would try to disable that filter on the page you are loading the slideshow on, provided you don’t have any other thumbnails on that page.
Here is a bit of code that would add that filter to all pages but the front page:
add_action( 'get_header', 'add_thumb_filter' );
function add_thumb_filter() {
if ( !is_front_page() ) {
//A filter to add links to thumbnails
}
}
Hello,
I seem to be experiencing a similar situation, and it is most likely something to do with my theme which sounds similar to Kimbo, though I cannot figure out where in functions.php I’d need to change things.
I have Meteor installed mainly for my home page, so not sure if the above code should be modified to suit this?
I’m not too code-savvy, unfortunately! My website is highrollersociety(dot)com, and any links I add are followed by this address (i.e.www.highrollersociety.comwww.mailchimp.com) and hence not recognised.
I’d appreciate any help sorting out this link issue, as I absolutely love the plugin!
Many thanks,
Jennie
Hi Jennie, I think this might just be a formatting problem. You have entered the URL for the slide link with just the “www”, and it should be the full URL like this: http://www.mailchimp.com/
That might solve the problem.
Aha! That was exactly the problem. Thank you Very much for your quick reply!
I’m having a similar problem with my slider images going to 404 pages and I don’t know why. I have no idea how to edit the PHP.
my site is digitalanalytics101(dot)com
any help would be disturbingly appreciated…
I don’t see Meteor Slides on that site, are you still having problems?
Yes, if you click on any of the slides in my slider, it takes you to a 404 page and they’re all there… very frustrating.
