I can't seem to figure out a workaround. Here's the URL of the slider: http://ala.blue22.net/wp/ The slider is incorporated into a WordPress theme and the webpage above is the homepage where the slider will be featured. Any insights would be greatly appreciated, many sincere thanks in advance. And again, great stuff with this plugin, cheers!

The slider is incorporated into a WordPress theme and the webpage above is the homepage where the slider will be featured. Any insights would be greatly appreciated, many sincere thanks in advance.

And again, great stuff with this plugin, cheers!

I've added this to a page template in wordpress. It was loading perfectly until I realized that I'd installed it incorrectly, adding custom scripts BEFORE the wp-head tag. (jquery plugins break the slider in this order) When I corrected the tag order I get a lag in load time. It loads the header and content first, then the slider pops up seemingly out of nowhere. Its driving me batty. If the server has any delay at all, its really noticeable. Heres what I have right now... header.php <code> </code> then the header code --- I only want the slider to load on one page, to use 5 posts from the featured category, then show the page content after. So i put this in a page-template.php: <code> <script type="text/javascript" src="/nivo-slider/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js"> $(window).load(function() { $('#slider').nivoSlider({ animSpeed:500, //Slide transition speed pauseTime:5000 }); }); have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?> <a href=""></a> </code> then the loop. --- i moved my other javascripts to the footer so nivo would take priority. I've tested loading jquery and the nivo script in many ways and added a compression plugin, but I still get that lag. So my question is... is there any way to FORCE jquery to load first on the page or at least prior to the wordpress content??? Thanks so much! Gilbert, please delete my last comments, thanks!

header.php

I only want the slider to load on one page, to use 5 posts from the featured category, then show the page content after.
So i put this in a page-template.php:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/nivo-slider/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js">

$(window).load(function() {
$('#slider').nivoSlider({
animSpeed:500, //Slide transition speed
pauseTime:5000
});
});

have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<a href="">

then the loop.

So my question is… is there any way to FORCE jquery to load first on the page or at least prior to the wordpress content???

Thanks so much!

I like the simplicity of your slider but it has some issues (I think). 1. Doesn't handle images of different sizes. 2. Doesn't scale images when they are higher/wider than the DIV they are wrapped in. 3. Doesn't centre an image when it is narrower than the DIV it is wrapped in. Do you have plans to fix these deficiences? I have wrapped your slider in a GWT (Google Web Toolkit) widget. I like the simplicity of your slider but it has some issues (I think).

1. Doesn’t handle images of different sizes.

Do you have plans to fix these deficiences?

Works great, however, when I add it to a page for example: page.php it no longer displays the pages content, but rather all the slide titles in a blog layout. As if they are all blog posts? Any thoughts or advice? Thanks! Hello,

Spent the last hour trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong, but I'm stuck. I followed the thumbnails instructions, tried both methods, still have the bullets. Here's my relevant code: controlNavThumbs:true, //Use thumbnails for Control Nav controlNavThumbsFromRel:true, //Use image rel for thumbs controlNavThumbsSearch: '.jpg', //Replace this with... controlNavThumbsReplace: '_thumb.jpg', //...this in thumb Image src Can someone help? I'd really, really appreciate it. :) Hi all. :) Love the slider, got it working, minus the thumbnails. Spent the last hour trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong, but I’m stuck.

Can someone help? I’d really, really appreciate it. :)
