In reply to: [EasyRotator for WordPress - Slider Plugin] Stray bullet point?Hi,
This error is usually caused by a conflict with some other plugin. If you’d like to open a support ticket, we’d be happy to take a look.
In the meantime, you can obtain the rotator ID by launching the EasyRotator program directly from the Applications/Programs menu on your computer. A list of all rotators will be shown in the server explorer view; choose the drop-down arrow on the right edge of the rotator name, and choose the “Get WordPress Embed Code…” option. This will give you the ID value.
Sincerely,

Sorry – I intended to include this article, which explains that you should insert the rotator into an empty post to obtain its ID: http://www.dwuser.com/support/easyrotator/kb/template-function/

In reply to: [EasyRotator for WordPress - Slider Plugin] Stray bullet point?Hi Emily,
It appears that your theme is generating that
<li>code for some reason: http://i.imgur.com/WrqdlR3.jpg . The best solution is probably editing your homepage template to instead use theeasyrotator_display_rotatorfunction. Basically, you should replace the<div class="slider-widget">wrapper with code like this:
<?php
easyrotator_display_rotator('erc_xx_xxxxxx');
?>
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillHi,
Thanks for the clarification. While filtering by tag/category isn’t currently supported directly, you could modify the
getLibraryPhotoInfomethod (around line 1578) ineasyrotator-for-wordpress/engine/main.phpto include atag__inorcategory__inproperty in the$argsvariable. For example:
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'post_mime_type' => 'image', // only images!
'orderby' => 'date', //'menu_order',
'order' => 'DESC', //'ASC',
'post_status' => 'any',
);
Becomes:
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'post_mime_type' => 'image', // only images!
'orderby' => 'date', //'menu_order',
'order' => 'DESC', //'ASC',
'post_status' => 'any',
'tag__in' => array(123),
);
The array should contain one or more tag ids.

In reply to: [EasyRotator for WordPress - Slider Plugin] Post-Installation errorsHi Samir,
Thanks for your interest in EasyRotator for WordPress. Since these errors don’t relate to the EasyRotator plugin files, I suspect that the problem may be unrelated to EasyRotator. Please try removing the wp-content/plugins/easyrotator-for-wordpress/ folder and see if the errors persist.
Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillHi Andy,
When the search is run, it returns all posts – recent ones, or ones in a given category. Then, the plugin loops through those results. Any post that has a featured image is kept; any post that does not have a featured image is discarded.
If you would like to modify the filtering or selection criteria (for example, to search the post content and use those photos instead of the featured image), you can edit the getFeaturedPhotoInfo method (around line 1677) in
easyrotator-for-wordress/engine/main.php.Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillHi,
Sorry; do I understand that you have a custom post type? Can you please send a screenshot of the content that you’re referring to?
Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillHi,
In the WordPress Dynamic Data section of the Add Photos dialog, you can choose specific category(s) and/or tag(s) to pull from: http://i.imgur.com/yFlwTWr.jpg
Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillHi Andy,
Thanks for using EasyRotator for WordPress. When searching for posts, it’s not possible to only search posts that have a featured image; so, the max posts setting counts applies to all posts, before the featured image filtering occurs. So, if many of the potential matches don’t have a featured image the number of posts will seem incorrect. If many of your site’s posts don’t have featured images, the best solution is to apply a tag to those posts that do and only search for posts with that tag.
Please let me know if I can provide any more clarification about the best configuration approach for your situation.

Drew O’NeillHi Tash,
Whether the titles appear to page viewers depends on the layout template you’re using, but they can indeed be hidden if needed.
Can you please send the URL of the page so I can check for the titles?
Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillHi Tash,
Thanks for using EasyRotator for WordPress! To specify alt text for your photos, set the Title value for each slide in the editor.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
