No Images or Thumbs - black box, loader and arrows

PostBy amac on Fri Oct 16, 2009 9:17 pm

Hi everyone,

I have installed FCG in Wordpress 2.8.4. Installed with the plugins install and all went well.

I added 1 post and 2 pages to the FCG settings. They're correct.

I use THESIS theme and the Thesis OpenHook plugin. I placed the FCG code in "feature box" and set that in Thesis to show up on the "blog" page which is here: http://innercodeschool.com/blog/

The box and loader, arrows and text all show up - but no images.

I copied and pasted all the custom keys in so that couldn't be messed up. And I double-checked every image in the browser - they're all there.

I have turned off all plugins and that didn't change anything (except the thesis openhook or it won't show up at all)

I have tried different themes and no better result there either.

Exhausted everything I know to do. Any ideas?

Exactly the same issues / problem !

I have also deactivated ALL plugins and it did not make a difference .

I am using the theme called "Lifestyle" however changing themes did not change anything.

What is really strange is that I have used this plugin on another site with the same theme and it is still working - ?? go figure ?? have copied things the same as that site and it still will not work for me , however that site is over 6 months old so I am guessing so is the plugin ? hmmmm

Here's the fix to get FCG to work in Thesis Themes. I don't know about Lifestyle sorry.

Add this to your custom_functions.php file OR add it through Thesis OpenHook in the "feature box" block for your home page.

function featureBox() {
global $post;
if (is_home()) {
include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php');
}
}
add_action('thesis_hook_feature_box', 'featureBox');


----------------

setttings under Thesis Options for "feature box" can tell the whole theme where to put it if you use Thesis OpenHook to paste the following code:

<?php global $post; include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>

Note the $post added to the line. FCG doesn't play well with Thesis without that addition.

Hope that helps some of you Thesis folks!

I've had all kinds of problems getting this thing to work with thesis, but it is such a strong plugin and it does everything I need for it to do.

Would it be possible for you to explain to me step by step how to get this thing working for thesis. I know you posted some great tips, but I'm sure I've screwed up along the way because I'm still not working.

thanks so much, and I hope that I've not overstepped my bounds for what I can ask.

It's really simple. Just copy and paste the code that they gave you above and insert it into one of your thesis openhook selections...

Like this:
Code: Select all
<?php global $post; include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>


That's it!

Tried including that code in the home.php in my non-working site. Still no luck.

Fixed.

I mispelled articleimg - articleing, cut-n-pasted the error, and lo.
When I discovered it, I went back into the edit posts, changed
the spelling, and then just hit the UPDATE button un the custom
key dialogue. Trap for young players. That UPDATE button doesn't.
You have to hit the big BLUE UPDATE post at the top of the screen........
Oh well, keeps me out of mischief I soppose.
