    Hi JLeuze,

    Thank you so much for creating the wonderful “meteor-slides plugin” , I just have a couple of issues, hope that you can give me some advice.

    I use WordPress 3.3.1, after I active the plugin, I have tried to add the multiple slideshow, however when I open add new panel, the right side of slideshow panel with “+ Add New Slideshow ” didn’t work, I can’t active the adding multiple slideshow function. I wonder that there are any “Addons plugins” that I should install.

    Another silly question, I had followed your video instruction added a header slideshow in my twenty eleven child theme, slideshow has been work perfectly. But this actions had caused a small gap (I guess about 2px something) between header slideshow box and my top navigation bar (I had moved the original Nav from bottom to top). I couldn’t find any padding or margin by using firebugs.

    Could you possible help me with the issues as above, thank you so much in advance.

    You’re welcome, thanks for trying my plugin!

    No addon plugins are needed for the multiple slideshow functionality. You should be able to create slideshows from the metabox on the edit slide screen, but if you can’t try creating them from the Slideshows screen instead. There might be a plugin conflict breaking the jQuery on the metabox functionality.

    If you want to post a link to the site you’re working on I can take a look at that gap for you.

    Hi JLeuze,

    Thank you so much for your quick replay. After struggling for a hour, I fond the problem with the gap by changing style css to “#access {
    margin: 0 auto 0px;
    }”, is perfect now.

    But I have followed your suggestion by trying of the metabox on the edit slide screen, didn’t work. So there is any solution for that. Did other member have same problem or so.

    By the way, the plugin itself is working seamlessly for header with twenty eleven. 🙂

    Sorry, I just fond a another problem, the search box in the header title area disappeared, must miss code in header php after put meteor-slides code in. I tried put back those code:

    <?php get_search_form(); ?>
    </div>
    <?php
    else :
    ?>
    <?php get_search_form(); ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

    but didn’t work, could you tell me which part of code that I had been missed.

    Thanks

    If you want the search form to always show up, you should be able to leave out the conditional and just use this in your header:

    <?php get_search_form(); ?>

    I can take a look at the problem with adding slideshow if you want to send me a login for the site.

    Thank you so much for your kindly support. I solved the “search form” problem according to your suggestion. It’s great.

    About the adding multiple slideshows issue, I had used “slideshows” button in the left panel under “slider”, I created “add new slideshow” called “home banner”, and go back to edit slide, put each sliders under the “home banner” slideshow that I created. But in “slides” panel section, didn’t take action. I watched your video instruction, the different slideshows should show up.

    I’m very new for the WordPress, sorry for bother your so many silly questions. At the moment, I use local virtual server (http://www.ideo.dev), so I don’t know how can I show you the problem with the slideshows panel.

    So you are able to create new slideshows from the Slideshows page, just not from the Slideshows metabox on the slide editor page?

    I would try to avoid using that Slideshow metabox, create the slideshows on the Slideshows page and add slides to those slideshows by using the Quick Edit feature on the main Slides overview page. That way you can at least get the slides into slideshows and make sure multiple slideshows are working aside from that metabox.

    Thank you for your advice.

    Just last question.

    I had added another slideshows from “slideshows section” called “promotional Slideshow”, But the two slideshows didn’t show up in the top of “slides section”, from the video instruction, suppose something like the button show up two slideshows on the top of “slides section after created section one.). I want to change the different setting to fit the second slideshow usage in welcome page, how can I do this without affect my “home banner” slideshow. I can’t find the second of “promotional Slideshow” code.

    So sorry to ask many questions, thank you so much for your considerations.

    What do you need to change for the second slideshow, does it need to be a different size?

    Sure, you can change the size of the second slideshow using metadata. Take a look at this tutorial on multiple slideshows with different sizes.

    Hi JLeuze,

    The instruction is great for understanding multiple slideshow with different sizes, but my problem is that I created the second slideshow with 4 slides didn’t take the effect for only stay in the second slideshow. the second slideshow with 4 slides have all showed up in the first header banner slideshow. I had added this 4slides under the second slideshow category, just did not take action. I really don’t know what is wrong with that.

    Thank you for help.

    When you are using multiple slideshows, each one has to specify a slideshow or it will load all the slides. Check and make sure they each have a slideshow specified, and that you are using the slug, not the title of the slideshow.

    I named the first header slideshow slug name as header solution, the second photo events slideshow slug name as Asian cultural festive. However the 4 slides under the second slideshow that have all appeared in the first header slideshow. really make me crazy.
