Plugin Not Working - Lifestyle Theme

[VisionsVa]

I did a search for Lifestyle Theme, read all the threads here, and did everything you suggested people do, yet my FCG plugin is not working. I am getting a blank white screen. http://www.rkdesignskbi.com/

I watched the video and did each step correctly. I created 4 posts with the custom fields, articleimg, featuredtext, and thumbnailimg. I checked to make sure the images were working in a browser.

The code <?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?> is in the home.php file, which is where it was in the theme already. I removed all the "if" statements around it.

ORIGINAL CODE:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content">
<div id="homepage">
<?php /*Check for the 'gallery_styles' function. if it's there, then include it. If not, do nothing*/ ?>
<?php if (function_exists('gallery_styles')) : ?>
<div id="homepagetop">
<div class="featuredtop">
<?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?> </div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

CURRENT CODE:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content">
<div id="homepage">
<div id="homepagetop">
<div class="featuredtop">
<?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>
</div>
</div>

I disabled all plugins except the FCG, Akismet, and the GBCF contact form. I originally deactivated Akismet and the contact form but that didn't help, so I reactivated them.

I activated the Default theme and put the FCG code in the sidebar. It didn't work. I ended up with a clear box with a black border.

What else is there? Is it my host? The host is Bluehost, if that helps.

Did you get this working, there seem to be a lot of posts on here about nothing but a white box showing up, but no replies. I think I will have to just deactivate it if I can't pind a solution asap, it's really holding up my site!!

[VisionsVa]

No, I didn't. We replaced it with a static picture. I have a php code for a random picture that we may use, but the client really wanted it to work the way the plugin is supposed to work.

I'm going to Tweet Brian Gardner to see if he has any ideas.

VisionsVa sorry you had your post since May 5, it was probably buried in other posts, please put your gallery call back for me to troubleshoot..without it I can not say what's wrong

I am on this site..almost everyday, and this is free help, a lot of fixed sites, and a lot of replys, you should at least post your url here for me to look at..

Thank you. I volunteer moderate a forum also so I know the work involved. Thank you for taking time away from your business to help mine.

Now, I don't know what a gallery call back is. Does that mean reinstall the plugin correctly?

[admin]

<?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>
It looks like you removed this call from your site, put this line back into your home.php and I will take a look

[VisionsVa]

Ok, everything is back how it's supposed to be. The code is back in the home.php file. There are 2 gallery posts in the Featured category. I just watched the video again and followed the instructions to a T. Let's hope you can figure out where the issue is.

[admin]

in fcg options change the Slide Display Duration setting to be 9000, you have now "9 seconds", no words allowed in that field

[VisionsVa]

OMG! That fixed it! Geeze, I knew it had to be something simple since I followed the instructions perfectly. The thing is, the plugin installed with the words 9 seconds already there so I didn't change them.

Thank you for your help. My client is going to be very happy.
