Your solution works but only on shortcode inserted into a page or post. The shortcode that I’d hardcoded into a template isn’t working now. You mentioned tweaking your shortcode. Was this by any chance something you had hardcoded into a php doc? Would appreciate figuring out how to get my hardcoded version working again.
The application on this particular client site was to insert the portfolio into a page; I haven’t tried it on a template or php doc. The only reason for tweaking the shortcode was to get the description to show. For some reason it would not show unless showdesc=true was inserted. It wasn’t needed when the I first set up the plugin.
Sorry I can’t help you on the hardcoded issue!
Was able to fix this. Recreated the slideshow to generate a new shortcode. Found that the original PHP shortcode had capitalized “ID” – that may have been the issue. Going back to 1.5.1 has saved this site. Can’t find a good replacement for portfolio-slideshow.
Congratulations! I agree — it’s hard to replace this one, and I was also happy not to have to start from scratch.
I’m a big fan of Portfolio Slideshow and looking forward to seeing ongoing fixes and development. However, if you’re looking for an alternative, you might try Weaver Show Posts combined with Weaver Show Sliders.

Hey folks,
I’m sorry about the delayed response on my part here. I wanted to let you know that the latest version of Portfolio Slideshow, version 1.11.1, may resolve some of the issues reported here.
Let me know if that’s the case! Thank you all so much for your patience and support with this plugin, it means a lot.
