Hi, are you adding the slideshow as a shortcode? Are there any tags wrapped around the shortcode? Are you using a custom slideshow template?
Hey Josh – thanks for your reply –
[meteor_slideshow slideshow=”home”] – that’s the only bit on the homepage (content or code)
No tags
No custom slideshow template
That’s a tricky one. Could you send me a login so I can take a closer look?
sent to your email address – thanks!
I took a look and this was a conflict with your theme. The theme was disabling the default WordPress content formatting and inserting its own custom formatting. I disabled these 4 lines of code in functions.php and it is now working correctly:
// Remove the 2 main auto-formatters
remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');
remove_filter('the_content', 'wptexturize');
// Before displaying for viewing, apply this function
add_filter('the_content', 'pp_formatter', 99);
add_filter('widget_text', 'pp_formatter', 99);
Somehow the theme is also disabling the HTML view of the post editor, I think they are trying to deactivate the default views and formatting so that it doesn’t break all of their many shortcodes. I would say this is way beyond the functionality that a theme should provide.
If you deactivate the visual editor in your user profile, the HTML post editor will be available to you and that would be a safer way to use your theme’s shortcodes without worrying about the content formatting of WordPress and your theme.
Thanks Josh – I really appreciate your going above and beyond on this one! I’ll make those changes later tonight – cheers!
No problem, glad to help!
