I have now fixed it, but I wanted to point out that the Taxonomy Slug was NOT the problem for me – see below: * —— * PREVIOUS SETTINGS (which prevented the featured image from showing) * Taxonomy Slug iob_themes * Custom Rewrite Slug themes * REST API base slug themes * AMENDED SETTINGS (the featured image field now shows) * Taxonomy Slug iob_themes * Custom Rewrite Slug instruction-themes * REST API base slug instruction-themes * —— * So, as you can see, I had already prefixed my Taxonomy Slug (iob_), but I needed to also amend the Custom Rewrite Slug and REST API base slug to fix it. * BTW, I chose the rewrite slug instruction-themes because the themes relate to sets of instructions, so it’s still a good choice. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Toolset Types - Custom Post Types, Custom Fields and Taxonomies] Updating Problems](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updating-problems-2/) * [robwakeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robwakeman/) * (@robwakeman) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updating-problems-2/#post-9431830) * Ok many thanks for the explanation. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Toolset Types - Custom Post Types, Custom Fields and Taxonomies] Updating Problems](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updating-problems-2/) * [robwakeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robwakeman/) * (@robwakeman) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updating-problems-2/#post-9430285) * I was trying to update from version 2.2.14 to 2.2.15.1 and I received the response: * _Toolset Types cannot update because your site’s registration is not valid.

Well, maybe a slightly different way. Here’s what I did: * I deleted the slideshow variable from the shortcode, so for example I amended `[ meteor_slideshow slideshow="gallery-croydon-young-carers"]` to `[meteor_slideshow]` * Then I updated the post. * Then I typed the variable back into the shortcode i.e. I typed in: * `slideshow=“gallery-croydon-young-carers”` Then I updated the post. * The slideshow displayed and it was the correct one. * Weirdly, however, if I tried to use cut and paste instead of manually typing, i.e. if I cut: `slideshow=“gallery-croydon-young-carers”` Update post Then paste( what I had just cut), i.e. the following, back in: `slideshow=“gallery-croydon- young-carers”` Then update, it just didn’t work. * That just seems really weird! But, hey, I now have a solution. * Thanks for your help with this. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Meteor Slides] plugin not working after WP update to 4.4.2 – JavaScript error with Cycle plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-after-wp-update-to-442-javascript-error-with-cycle-plugin/) * Thread Starter [robwakeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robwakeman/) * (@robwakeman) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-after-wp-update-to-442-javascript-error-with-cycle-plugin/#post-7118633) * Ok.

I ran all your suggested tests on my local site, but unfortunately it still doesn’t work. * No, I don’t have any other plugins involved and I can’t think of any unusual customisation I’ve done. * The displayed shortcode is in curly quotes once again (although earlier when I modified it to use straight ones it didn’t make any difference anyway). * Could it be a server config thing? e.g. PHP version? My local site is on PHP 5.3.13 * Having said that, on the production, I tried switching to the following PHP versions: 5.3 5.4 5.5 5.6 and none of them solved the problem. * Hmmm…. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Meteor Slides] plugin not working after WP update to 4.4.2 – JavaScript error with Cycle plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-after-wp-update-to-442-javascript-error-with-cycle-plugin/) * Thread Starter [robwakeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robwakeman/) * (@robwakeman) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-after-wp-update-to-442-javascript-error-with-cycle-plugin/#post-7118522) * After I added that filter, it still displays the shortcode in the page. * I have not added that filter to the production site [http://www.harmonyproject.co.uk/](http://www.harmonyproject.co.uk/) * Thanks for offering to take a look.

Thanks for spotting that. * The WP post editor is still showing straight quotes (not curly quotes). And, even if I type them in again as straight quotes and update, they are somehow changed to curly quotes at some point and so still show in the source code as `[ meteor_slideshow slideshow=”gallery-family-action-wandsworth”]` * I have 3 other plugins installed and activated. I deactivated them one by one and did the test above. However, the problem is still there. * By the way, I’m doing the above testing on my localhost version of the site which has exactly the same problem. * Just to say again, I noticed this happening as soon as I updated WordPress if that’s any help. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Meteor Slides] plugin not working after WP update to 4.4.2 – JavaScript error with Cycle plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-after-wp-update-to-442-javascript-error-with-cycle-plugin/) * Thread Starter [robwakeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robwakeman/) * (@robwakeman) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-after-wp-update-to-442-javascript-error-with-cycle-plugin/#post-7118451) * Josh, thanks for the reply.

It now looks as though that is an isolated problem with one of my sites which is preventing jquery Cycle plugin from loading (I need to unpick that at some point!). * But I have a new problem with ver 1.11.0 (as tested on a different WP installation running theme Twenty Fourteen): * The slideshow autoplays even though I do not have ‘Enable autoplay’ checked in the settings. * If I check it, it still autoplays (as you would expect). * If I uncheck it again and click save, it remains checked – I can’t uncheck it. * I have a similar problem with the ‘Loop the slideshow’ checkbox. * I don’t have these checkbox issues with the old version of the plugin (ver 1.5.1) * Anyone else experiencing these issues? * Thanks Rob * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Portfolio Slideshow] Updating to v1.10.0 breaks the site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updating-to-v1100-breaks-the-site/) * Thread Starter [robwakeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robwakeman/) * (@robwakeman) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updating-to-v1100-breaks-the-site/page/2/#post-6417887) * In this other thread [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/portfolio-slideshow-plugin-update-version-199-is-broken](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/portfolio-slideshow-plugin-update-version-199-is-broken) member takelaa suggests that PHP 5.4 and newer is needed (for the short array syntax). * I changed my site from PHP 5.3 to 5.4 and then updated the plugin again from 1.5.1 to 1.10.0. * This time it didn’t report a syntax error and the slideshow displays, but it doesn’t work correctly. The pagination (e.g. 1 of 5) has disappeared and the navigation doesn’t work at all, either by clicking Prev/Next or by clicking the slides (even though I’ve set clicking on an image to advance the slideshow). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Portfolio Slideshow] Updating to v1.10.0 breaks the site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updating-to-v1100-breaks-the-site/) * Thread Starter [robwakeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robwakeman/) * (@robwakeman) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updating-to-v1100-breaks-the-site/#post-6417844) * Thanks for the advice about PHP version, George.
