Shortcode starts with “slideshow” (see code below) which is not in the NextGen shortcode as far as I can see. See [here](https://sge.lclark.edu/project-mashup/environmental-history-of-the-portland-chinese-garden/) for example. * I’m running NextGen Gallery 2.0.17 and NextGen Pro 1.0.6, with Striking 5.2.1 as our theme. * Thanks, * Jim P. * `echo str_replace(array('[raw]','[/raw]'),'',do_shortcode('[slideshow type="nivo" category="'.$cat.'" width="640" height="360" number="6" effect="random" slices ="10" boxCols="8" boxRows="4" animSpeed="500" pauseTime="5000" controlNav="true" pauseOnHover="true" caption="true"]'));` * [ChadMaestro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chadmaestro/) * (@chadmaestro) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/array1-source-array1-0-string24-source-should-be-present/#post-4082747) * Hey all, I got the same error and discovered it was because I’d not typed the shortcode properly. * I was using nggallery=1 instead of nggallery id=1. * Hope that helps someone. * [vmounier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vmounier/) * (@vmounier) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/array1-source-array1-0-string24-source-should-be-present/#post-4082749) * [@chadmaestro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chadmaestro/) * Thanks, you’re on the right track! This indeed solves the error. I thought version 2.0 would remain backward-compatible but maybe not after all. * In any case it has helped me sort things out because I was only keeping the NG shortcode in there for later options – I use Justified Image Grid and Lightbox Evolution to display my thumbs and galleries; NG is only present in the background. * So I removed the NG shortcode altogether and error is gone. * [doctorproctor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doctorproctor/) * (@doctorproctor) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/array1-source-array1-0-string24-source-should-be-present/#post-4082750) * Yes, well in my case (see [above](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/array1-source-array1-0-string24-source-should-be-present?replies=13#post-4625312)), I have just verified that NextGen has introduced a new shortcode function “slideshow,” which is not documented on their [shortcode page](http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/nextgen-gallery-shortcodes/) and interferes with my Striking theme shortcode of the same name. What I’ve done as a temporary workaround is I’ve changed the Striking shortcode function name; but NextGen, please please do a comprehensive documentation of your shortcode!! * Jim P. * [doctorproctor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doctorproctor/) * (@doctorproctor) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/array1-source-array1-0-string24-source-should-be-present/#post-4082751) * Yes, well in my case (see [above](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/array1-source-array1-0-string24-source-should-be-present?replies=13#post-4625312)), I have just verified that NextGen has introduced a new shortcode function “slideshow,” which is not documented on their [shortcode page](http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/nextgen-gallery-shortcodes/) and interferes with my Striking theme shortcode of the same name.
