    Hi Stefan,

    I am very grateful for your help. Thanks. I’ll try two slideshows later.

    Q. In the Slide list There are settings under Text Slide for Text Color (for the Title)and Background Color (for the whole text slide) which seem to over-ride the CSS, but if I try to empty those fields, they default to Black text on white background. Must that be set for each slide if I want them all the same? It’s a handy feature if each slide is to be different.

    All best,
    Tony

    Hi Stefan,

    I have found how to work on the Slide CSS by Slideshow/General Setting/Custom CSS, So the 3rd Q above should fall away.

    Warmly,
    Tony

    Thanks Stefan,
    Q. I would like the image slide to appear across the available 640 space and then the text slide to appear immediately below. How to do that?

    At present the two slides appear next to each other.
    The text slide has quite a lot of text which goes down and cannot be seen because it disappears behind some text on the Page.
    Q. How to get the text slide to push the page text down?

    Q. The text slide is all italic ! What CSS tag to change it to {font-style: normal; } I think the text slide can be same as the #content p

    Q On the text slide There is a blank <p> after the initial <h2>. How to either use it or lose it.

    Hi Stefan,

    Thanks for the rapid reply.

    Please give me some clues about how to go about displaying two slides simultaneously.

    Would the slideshow features still work? A show of about six images plus their text descriptions is required.

    All best,

    Tony

    Problem solved. It was caused by Flashcard Plugin. Version 0.1 | By Liang Shao |

    I did :
    Akismet Deactivate = No change to Add Media button
    Flashcard Deactivate = Add Media button working
    Akismet Activate = Add Media button still working

    THANK YOU ESMI AND WPYOGI.

    OK,
    Tony

    Urgg this flashcard plugin or something like it is required.
    Will try : Delete and reinstall the flashcard plug in .

    Thanks esmi,

    2012 theme started now, as is, out the box. Add Media and Insert Slideshow button not active.

    I’m checking the Add Media button after every change. (that should be in all capitals. G)

    Jetpack was deactivated, site was unplugged and plugged in again and Jetpack was reactivated/updated, and CSS editing facility was thenavailable without me having to re-activate CSS.

    I haven’t had anything to do with uploading/activating Slideshow other than look at what it does. I’ll see if I can deactivate it. Will check what other Plugins there are.

    Akismet is whining that it needs final info. Could that be the cause?

    OK,
    Tony

    Right. I’ve activated TwentyTwelve, no problem, no warnings. No change to the Add Media button and the Insert Slideshow buttons , both not working.
    That is where it is now. Broken.

    Hi WPyogi,

    Having told him what I had done I copied the instructions to the owner of the host site. He is much more aufait with server side stuff than I am, which I am not. I was given the message that he unplugged and replugged the site.
    Its a bit tricky to be absolutely specific about the time frame because there are three of use working on the problem at the simultaneosly ; I think this is the actual sequence.
    1 Add Media button not working , not active. Dead.
    2 I deactivated Jetpack.
    3 extra CSS formatting gone
    4 Add Media Button working again, Yay.
    5 Owner ‘unplugged and replugged’ the site
    6 site still without extra formatting
    7 I downloaded/activated Jetpack
    8 Found that site was back where it was, formatting OK, but Add Media button not working again. !!

    OK I had a go at activating TwentyTwelve but got the serious warning and decided not to proceed. Well, Its not going to burst into flames, I’ll do that.

    hth

    Hi Esmi,

    This site had Twenty Twelve theme running but it was ‘broken’ then. It seems that the only way the site owner was able to get an image into a post was by means of an external link. There is no evidence of any images being added to pages or posts by any other means.

    When I went to activate TwentyTwelve , WordPress discouraged me strongly .
    The screen message is “Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again. ”

    OK,
    Tony

    Hi Esmi,

    Errm, did you read my post? The things there are what actually did something.

    What is the default theme? There is twenty Eleven and Twenty Twelve available here, inter alia.

    I’ve been fussing with this for 2 1/2 days for which I get nothing. Totally unproductive. Too many things done to no avail. I did change themes which terrified me But it recovered gracefully so i learned from that.
