Can't use $ in my text slide

Hello,

I would happily purchase this plug in, but apparently when you put a $ in a text slide, the characters immediately after the $ are not shown. Here is the text of my slide:

<p><h3>Come and join us on October 25th from 5:00pm – 9:00pm for our annual Halloween Party!

<p><h3>Registration costs include pizza, juice, dessert, crafts and a goodie bag to take home!

<p><h3>$40 for the first child, 30 for each additional sibling!

Now you can see the result of this at:

Thanks,

Pat

Hi Pat can you try and wrap the slide in DIV containers instead. See if that works.

Still having the same problem. Is there another element other than just the <div> tag I should be using, like a style element or something else?

Hi Pat, try the following, notice how I added a one character space between the dollar symbol and the amount.

$ 40 for the first child, $ 30 for each additional sibling!

See how you go.

Thanks, that fixed it!

Now I can’t get the slideshow to show up using the PHP code or the site code, only by using a widget, so still trying to get this to work…

Hi Pat what shortcode are you using?

[slideshow_deploy id=’540′] and have tried it within <div> tags as well and all I see is “slideshow_deploy” string on the page.

Also note that I can add this to a new page and it shows up fine, but either by pasting the shortcode, or using the “insert slideshow” button to an existing page, I get nothing.

Hi Pat, well then we can say that you have an issue with inserting the shortcode on an old page.

In the page that does not work do you have any other script running? Or do you have another slideshow running?

One more quick question as I am finding some workarounds to things.

Is it feasible to have a picture and text in the same slide? I tried just adding HTML to a text slide, but no joy.

Thanks,

Pat

Hi Pat, how did you add the HTML code? Can you share the exact code you entered?

Thank you

<h3>Welcome to my site</h3>
<p>This is a cool place

Pretty straight simple stuff…

So does it all work or only part of your code? Also try to add the code like this

<img src=”http://www.mydomain/image1″>

You had three /// slashes.
