Can nobody help with this? It's the second time this has happened... I'm guessing it happens with WP upgrades?

I would really love some help with this. I'm not sure what to do.

Thanks,

I hate to be a pain about this but this is really screwing with my theme. Nobody knows? Is anyone at least looking into what the problem might be? It seems like a pretty major thing that a few people are having a problem with.

If the experts don't know how to fix it could you let us know so that we can revert back to an older Wordpress or try something else rather than waiting around for an answer to a question that doesn't have one?

Thanks,
Kirsty

Same problem.

Currently listed here: https://code.google.com/p/arras-theme/i … =slideshow

Deactivating W3 Total Cache seems to

Follow up:  I think I know what is causing the problem....

I installed a clean 3.2.1 WP, Arras 1.5.1.1, and got slideshow, on my vmware sandbox.  When I change the start page to a static page, the slideshow does not display as in the past.

On my copy of the live site on the same vm, I changed my static page to Your Latest Posts, and the slideshow appears.  I set to static, it goes away.

Perhaps the WP coding have changed in that area so Arras isn't picking up the toggle correctly and does not know its the front page and thus does not display the slideshow.

I'm still stumped. Any ideas from the experts?

I resolved my WP 3.2 / 3.2.1 - Arras 1.5.1.1 issue.

And I'm not totally sure whats right or wrong.  Prior to 3.2, I always had my home page set as a static page, and I would get the slideshow.  After 3.2 update, this would not happen, only on the Posts page would it come up on my live site or clean 3.2 install.

So I actually looked at the code this evening and find Arras has always been limiting the slideshow to the Posts page, but it seems, AT LEAST FOR ME, that WP 3.1 wasn't working as it should.  I never should have gotten the slideshow with a static page.

Tag is_home() returns true only for Posts page.

Tag is_front_page returns true for the assigned front page.

So the code in Arras, in arras/library/slideshow.php is

function arras_add_slideshow() {
        global $post_blacklist, $paged;
        if ( !is_home() || $paged ) return false;

So if you want the assigned static Front page, just change      !is_home()     to    is_front_page()

Now, its not clear to me if the slideshow was intended to be post page and/or static home page.  If something has changed in WP 3.2 that breaks that possible intention it should be fixed.

If not, I think a theme option of  Show Slideshow on Front Page   should be added for those of us who like it on our home page.

I was also facing the same problem after installing the latest version of word press. I tried to get help from different places but could not find any solution. Finally with lot of frustration, I decided to go back to my old version. Now I am happy with my old version, it is working perfectly. The new version has some problem and I have informed the support team about this issue. Now let us wait and see.

I am having the same problem as well since I upgraded to the latest version of Wordpress. My site is here:

http://manonthelam.com/

I have the same problem, and I have deactivated all my plugins too.

In Crome I can see this message:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < /wp-content/themes/arras1.5.1.2/js/superfish/superfish.js/:1
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < /wp-content/themes/arras1.5.1.2/js/jquery.cycle.min.js/:1
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < http://barcelona.2minutes.es/:50Uncaught

I'm using arras 1.5.1.2 and wordpress 3.2.1, and my web is:

Hi,
I also have the trouble with the slideshow. Since I upgraded to Wordpress 3.3 (and SQL 5 for my database) the slideshow doesn't work, nor can I click the arrows for the next slide.
There seems to be some problem as soon as I try to change any of the theme-settings: then suddenly my homepage seems to have the layout from the default.css.
For the moment I tried to disable the slideshow and live without it. But that's a shame  - I really liked the slideshow...

Please help! Can someone fix it?

Arras: 1.5.1.2
Wordpress: 3.3

Thank you!
Daniela

I found out the problem is with wordpress.com's Jetpack. Disabling the plugin will fix the slideshow. But I'm not sure exactly which particular Jetpack module is causing the problem. Anyone knows? Cos I still want to use some of the Jetpack modules.

OK - found something that helps: I have the W3 Total Cache PlugIn running. I had to deactivate it. Then I activated my slideshow again. After that I activated the W3 Total Cache PlugIn again - and now everything is running fine!
