WP Nivo Slider Images Not Appearing

    I currently working on a wordpress based site that I’m hosting locally. The installation went smoothly and I’m running the latest version – 3.0.3. I am attempting to use WP Nivo Slider plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-nivo-slider/

    I followed the instructions. They were hard to follow but I got the concept and applied it. I installed and activated the plugin as instructed. Then I proceeded to mkae some test posts with a “featured image” – because in this version I see, there is no longer “thumbnail image” as in the previous versions. The look and layout comparing the instructions to mine seem to be the same – just the wording is different, I’m not sure if that has anything to do with my problem but anyway.. I then applied the final bit of code given in the “installation” tab which goes like this: <?php if ( function_exists(‘show_nivo_slider’) ) { show_nivo_slider(); } ?>

    I also put in the dimensions of the slider to fit into my theme appropriately. When I do that, I see the slider but with the loader going continuously with no sign of any images. When I remove the sizing parameters in the administration area, the slider ceases to even appear. Can anyone be kind enough to assist me with this problem. I tried to refer back to the provided documentation and tutorials but it wasn’t all in English and the English that was there wasn’t written the best. I prefer this slider, but if there are any others that are better or any of you would recommend that are free – please share.

    Thanks,
    urbangame

    Yeah, and nobody seems to have any solution. I ended up using another slider but I am sure there are better ones – Nivo being one of them. Unfortunately the plugin doesn’t seem updated because it doesn’t seem to work with the latest version of wordpress.

    Hi, I manage to make it working.

    First modify wp-nivo-slider.php like below

    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
		<?php $thumb_attr = array( 'title' => get_the_title() ); ?>
		<?php the_post_thumbnail('featured-thumbnail', $thumb_attr );  ?>
</a>

    And added below to functions.php of theme.

    add_image_size( 'featured-thumbnail', 650, 240, true );

    That is it. You need to edit posts and select “featured thumbnail” to display.
    Please refer this site. http://montgomerykmc.org
    I use up-to-date wordpress.

    wp-nivo-slider.php, modify like choibc said starting at line 216.
    See Codex: The Post Thumbnail, you can set image size directly in this file without modifying functions.php. Here’s what I used:

    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
		<?php $thumb_attr = array( 'title' => get_the_title() ); ?>
		<?php the_post_thumbnail('full', $thumb_attr ); ?>
	</a>

    Also be careful you don’t use div with id of “slider” elsewhere on your site. Search for #slider in your theme files to be sure.

    Hi all,
    I’m trying to insert the WP Nivo Slider into a theme called SimplyBiz. Like othesrs, the WP Nivo Slider is displayed but no images are shown inside the frame.
    I tried the modifications mentioned above but none are working. I check the code lines by using Firefox addons called Firebug. Despite the fact that no images are displayed, the ocde lines exists. Here is an extract from the code lines :

    <div id="slider">
<a title="Post Group1" href="http://private.my-world-window.fr/?p=50">
<img class="attachment-full wp-post-image" width="960" height="400" title="Post Group1" alt="NivoSliderImage2" src="http://private.my-world-window.fr/wp-content/uploads/NivoSliderImage2.jpg">
</a>

    The <img /> code is greyed. The “slider img” css code is :

    #slider img {
    display: none;
    left: 0;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
}

    Is it normal?
    In your opinion, what is wrong?
    For information, the blog is powered by WordPress 3.1
    Looking forward to your feedback
    Regards 😉

    @urbangame view page source and see if your theme is loading jquery twice, that might broke the slider
