I have 5 slides that were all done the same way and only the 4th and 5th slide have the problem with the code showing (&lt;/p&gt;).</p> <p>Maybe you are correct and the Piecemaker slider doesn't allow for video or the lightbox effect. The reason I thought it did is because each slide has many options to apply a link to the image including lightbox or video. </p> <p>I do like the Piecemaker slider and will continue to use it. If I can't add video or the lightbox effect that's ok. The only thing I'd like to get fixed is the &lt;/p&gt; showing up in two of the slides if you have any other ideas on fixing that.</p> <p>I tried deleting the entire slide completely and starting over. I've tried typing in text into the "caption" area without copying and pasting. No matter what I do, I have this problem with slide 4 and 5.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slideshow-problems#post-34608 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 03:45:03 +0000 Chris Beard 34608@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Basically all your problems are caused by the Flash slider, Piecemaker is a flash script and was not coded by Kriesi. It's easier to use a different slider altogether rather than customising the script. Having that said</p> <p>a) Paragraphs work fine for me, are you sure you're putting plain text in the "Caption" area with featured images?</p> <p>b&amp;c) As far as I know the Piecemaker slider doesn't allow for videos to be played, nor does it allow lightbox effects.</p> <p>d) I don't have an instant solution to this but maybe you want to consider a different slider before we start looking for workarounds.</p> <p>Sorry that I can't be of more help, it's really just the slider type you're using. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slideshow-problems#post-34468 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 19:55:21 +0000 ProtectYourself 34468@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I having problems with the slideshow on the home page. I am using the 3D Piecmaker Slider (full width). I'm having a number of problems.</p> <p>a) I've got 5 pictures showing in the slide show. Each one has a Caption Title and a Caption. On the website, the 4th and 5th slide of the titles and captions are showing html code. This is what is showing amongst my text, &lt;/p&gt; How do I get rid of that?</p> <p>b) I've tried everything and I can not get video to play in the slide show. I add the video as featured media by using "Add media file from URL. Then I add the URL, title, and click insert in post. I've tried a number of ways to "apply link to the image." I've tried the "Lightbox Image" option but when I did that the slide doesn't show up on the website. Then leaving the video as the featured media I tried "embed video when image is clicked" and I added the URL but when I did that the slide didn't show up on the website either. Then I tried making the "featured media" a picture and used "embed video when image is clicked", and added the URL. When I tried this none of the slideshow pictures worked; the area was just blank on the page.</p> <p>c) I can not get the light box option to work. The picture is uploaded and for "apply link to image" I select "Lightbox Image" but it doesn't work even after clearing the browser. </p> <p>d) When I link to a page on my site, it opens a new window. They're staying on my site and so a new page should Not open. Is there a way to change that so that when they click the link it takes them to the page without opening a new window?</p> <p>Thank you for the help. </p>
