 * When I upgraded to 1.9.9, the description disappeared from the slideshow, and
   the admin interface broke. Updating to the latest version brought the admin interface
   back, but didn’t help the description, although other parts of the slideshow 
   were working. Reverting to 1.5.1 brought full functionality back, although I 
   had to tweak the shortcode. I’m on Bluehost, and using a customized Genesis theme.
   Hopefully that solution will work for some other folks.
 * This has been a great plugin, and I’m hoping that the current bugs will be fixed.

 * Your solution works but only on shortcode inserted into a page or post. The shortcode
   that I’d hardcoded into a template isn’t working now. You mentioned tweaking 
   your shortcode. Was this by any chance something you had hardcoded into a php
   doc? Would appreciate figuring out how to get my hardcoded version working again.

 * The application on this particular client site was to insert the portfolio into
   a page; I haven’t tried it on a template or php doc. The only reason for tweaking
   the shortcode was to get the description to show. For some reason it would not
   show unless showdesc=true was inserted. It wasn’t needed when the I first set
   up the plugin.
 * Sorry I can’t help you on the hardcoded issue!

 * Was able to fix this. Recreated the slideshow to generate a new shortcode. Found
   that the original PHP shortcode had capitalized “ID” – that may have been the
   issue. Going back to 1.5.1 has saved this site. Can’t find a good replacement
   for portfolio-slideshow.

 * Congratulations! I agree — it’s hard to replace this one, and I was also happy
   not to have to start from scratch.

 * I’m a big fan of Portfolio Slideshow and looking forward to seeing ongoing fixes
   and development. However, if you’re looking for an alternative, you might try
   Weaver Show Posts combined with Weaver Show Sliders.

 * Hey folks,
 * I’m sorry about the delayed response on my part here. I wanted to let you know
   that the latest version of Portfolio Slideshow, version 1.11.1, may resolve some
   of the issues reported here.
 * Let me know if that’s the case! Thank you all so much for your patience and support
   with this plugin, it means a lot.
 * Sincerely,
    George
