Your slider doesn’t seem to have images in it. Please make sure that you have created at least 2 slides. * 2. Update the plugin if its not the latest yet. * 3. About the shortcode youre using. – Theres no “id” attribute – Use css value for width and height (e.g. auto, 200px, 100%) * 4. Start with [simple_slides] only. The slider is responsive now. * [supervision](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supervision/) * (@supervision) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-slides-just-does-not-work/#post-2564166) * Okay, its working now. * If I could make an suggestion, I would recommmend giving an example tag in the first place, and I didn’t now that I had to put the images as “slide article image” instead of just loading it into the “slide article”….or did I oversee it in the documentation? * cheers, sv * [supervision](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supervision/) * (@supervision) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-slides-just-does-not-work/#post-2564167) * Another thing. Now I have 2 slidesets (for 2 slideshows), but it is all shown in one…if there is no id tag, how to distinguish? * Plugin Author [dev_apocalypseboy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dev_apocalypseboy/) * (@dev_apocalypseboy) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-slides-just-does-not-work/#post-2564168) * Hi, * Documentation: [http://apocalypseboy.com/simple-slides](http://apocalypseboy.com/simple-slides) * Demos: [http://apocalypseboy.com/plugins/simple-slides/demos](http://apocalypseboy.com/plugins/simple-slides/demos) * Examples and some notes are covered there 🙂 Also those documents are in constant improvement/change. * About the id, Automatically the sliders are IDed in order of. #ss_1, #ss_2, # ss_3 … so on. * To customize this you need to use the ‘name’ attribute. This attribute is still experimental and not included in the documents. * e.g. [simple_slides name=”foo”] would result to #ss_foo * Rest assured, we will be including these to the documentation updates. * Thanks! * [supervision](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supervision/) * (@supervision) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-slides-just-does-not-work/#post-2564169) * Hey, * thanks for the information apocalypseboy! * I think it makes sense if there is one day a working name attribute for different slide shows, cause there are many people out there using several of them on their homepages 🙂 * * Plugin Author [dev_apocalypseboy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dev_apocalypseboy/) * (@dev_apocalypseboy) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-slides-just-does-not-work/#post-2564170) * Hi Again, * On the Add Slide or Edit Slide page. Expand the screen options and check ‘Slide Options’. It should enable a meta box with some available options including a slide link. * This will also be included in the future documentation. * Thanks. * [supervision](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supervision/) * (@supervision) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-slides-just-does-not-work/#post-2564171) * mmmh, when I expand the options, I could add a title, but there is no side link option: * [http://s7.directupload.net/images/120924/fbq5qatz.png](http://s7.directupload.net/images/120924/fbq5qatz.png) * Do I have to enable this somewhere? * cheers, daniel * Plugin Author [dev_apocalypseboy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dev_apocalypseboy/) * (@dev_apocalypseboy) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-slides-just-does-not-work/#post-2564172) * Please make sure you are using the latest version (1.4.0) * [supervision](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supervision/) * (@supervision) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-slides-just-does-not-work/#post-2564174) * Nice, working good so far.
