    So the plugin works and thanks so much to the author! I have read for a while now and haven’t been able to locate a solution to my problem.

    I do not know my ID, so I am sorry.

    I imported a blogspot blog to this persons WordPress blog. I inserted a div on the index.php within WordPress and then I inserted the PHP smippet and the do_shortcode function to get it where I want it, all good there.

    I then created a category for the post that I want to insert the images into that should display in the slideshow. I inserted 2 images cropped to the correct size into that post and made sure that I selected the correct category. The admin area within the slideshow is selected to display the images within my created category.

    But, instead I get random images that are not even within my media manager, and most of them are being pulled from the URLs to the previous blogger blog that I imported.

    Please help.

    Here is the URL

    http://amanda-mariephotography.com/blog/

    thanks so much to the author

    Thanks !

    Your problem is simple :
    – The slider takes the first image from posts found into the specified category.
    – As you said, you imported a blogspot blog, that mean you importes posts and their content “as is” ! That mean the content has not been modified my wordpress, so the URLs of all images are those they was on blogpost.

    The plugin is running correctly, it takes the first image found in posts, that are from blogpost.

    => You need to edit all your posts, and replace all images by new, uploaded into your new wordpress blog.

    Notes:
    – the slideshow uses only one picture per post, the first one contained into the post body, per default
    – You can force the plugin to display another picture by specifing it into the admin zone, just below the editor when you edit posts
    – If you want to display more than one picture, you need to use more than one posts (1 slide = 1 post)
    – You can change the loading spiner and put square corners so that the slider fits your design.

    OK, I have made some progress. I sent all the imported posts to the trash, and reset the plugin. At this point the PREVIEW started to work exactly as I had wanted it to. But the images still do not show on the home page…

    Also, I did some research on an error that I am getting on the admin page, seemed that the reason was due to the version of PHP that I am using. But I thought that I would post it now that there has been some progress in the case that there was something important within it.

    Jeff, I got it. I hadn’t updated the short-code in my page.php file within my editor.

    Thanks a bunch!

    Concerning the warning : its not a problem it said that the URL that provide Plugin ID is not reachable. Not a problem.
