Featured Content

[movieman]

Hi once again,

I love the featured content slider but one thing I noticed was when I had 3 of them, it would go from 1 to 2 and then stop there. If I click the next post button, it'll go to the third one. And even with 2, it would not cycle through. Not sure, but maybe I'm missing a setting (very possible)?

Here is the main page where I have it: http://moviemansguide.com/main

Thanks,
Brian

Not really sure what's going on - I use the featured slider on my test box with 30+ posts and don't run into any problems. Plus the piece of JavaScript I am using is very well known (JQuery Cycle) - I wouldn't expect it to have bugs of this sort. My advice to you would be to try using a featured posts plugin that will help you display this. Maybe there is something about your page that the template doesn't like.

Darn, that's too bad. No idea what the problem could be...

If I might suggest, try removing the second slide from the featured content and see what happens.

[movieman]

It goes from the first post to the second and then sits there. I even removed the excerpt portion of it, still the same.

I know you're probably really busy, but if I set you up with a user account, can you take a look?

Just to note, I have made no changes to the actual coding except in the user set-up via the theme and even then the major change was the header and moving the sidebar from the right to the left.

Well, I decided to delete some of the images, re-upload, check the links, remove the excerpts (I copied them from my main website) and I did get it to go past #2 (I added one more new post, so 4 total) but it stopped at #3. However, since then, it still stops at #2. Grrr.

Hi sayontan - Any chance that JQuery Cycle might have a problem with the server? Some kind of security issue? I don't know anything about it, so wasn't sure.

I will make a new release today / tomorrow. Try upgrading to it to see if it helps.

This looks for me as one of the usual mistakes happening everywhere:

someone counts from 0 to ....
and someother counts from 1 to ...

could this be a hint for the mystery?

[sayontan]

No, this one is just weird. The cycling simply stops. It is not even a part of my code that affects it, but I found a minor error, which, though unrelated, might be causing the problem. No harm in trying the fix.
