Title: [Plugin: Frontpage-Slideshow] Random Images Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Frontpage-Slideshow] Random Images * [jman1200mk2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jman1200mk2/) * (@jman1200mk2) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-frontpage-slideshow-random-images/) * 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/](http://amanda-mariephotography.com/blog/) Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * Plugin Author [jeff_](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeff_/) * (@jeff_) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-frontpage-slideshow-random-images/#post-1985054) * > 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. * Thread Starter [jman1200mk2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jman1200mk2/) * (@jman1200mk2) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-frontpage-slideshow-random-images/#post-1985069) * 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. ‘Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file- get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/ amand/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/frontpage-slideshow/frontpage-slideshow. php on line 685 * Warning: file_get_contents([https://www.modulaweb.fr/wp-plugins-support/?args=%7B%22plugin%22%3A%22frontpage-slideshow%22%2C%22plugin_version%22%3A%220.9.9.3.4%22%2C%22siteurl%22%3A%22http%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Famanda-mariephotography.com%5C%2Fblog%22%2C%22admin_email%22%3A%22amand%40amanda-mariephotography.com%22%2C%22WP_version%22%3A%223.1%22%2C%22theme%22%3A%22AMPWPTheme%22%2C%22theme_URI%22%3A%22%22%7D](https://www.modulaweb.fr/wp-plugins-support/?args=%7B%22plugin%22%3A%22frontpage-slideshow%22%2C%22plugin_version%22%3A%220.9.9.3.4%22%2C%22siteurl%22%3A%22http%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Famanda-mariephotography.com%5C%2Fblog%22%2C%22admin_email%22%3A%22amand%40amanda-mariephotography.com%22%2C%22WP_version%22%3A%223.1%22%2C%22theme%22%3A%22AMPWPTheme%22%2C%22theme_URI%22%3A%22%22%7D))[ function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/amand/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/frontpage-slideshow/ frontpage-slideshow.php on line 685′ * Thanks for your help! * Thread Starter [jman1200mk2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jman1200mk2/) * (@jman1200mk2) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-frontpage-slideshow-random-images/#post-1985070) * Jeff, I got it.
