What settings did you use for DCG Settings > Load Scripts tab?

I left mostly everything at default. so load script is 'home page only'. this is a test site so only the home page is active. I went ahead and created a home.php page and inserted the code
nothing changed.
image management 'auto'
gallery method 'one category' path http://www.autoreverseweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/
javascript options mootools
I'm befuddled!

I may have a clue. when i check the post on post listing, I never paid attention to that. it says dcg image none, dcg description none. I still added images to the post. let me check again if i'm missing something. thanks.

thank you for your followup. I never got it to work. I kinda feel bedeviled. apparently it's like it's something that is only happened to me. this is a testsite so, it's nothing confidential. I just use it to test plugins, widgets and theme configurations before I put them live on clients' sites. I can give you the login if you wanna see why it's not working.

Yes, you can send me the login by PM. I'll take a look and see what's going on.

I'm having the same problem at http://www.trueimagestudio.com. I sent you a PM as well. I am using the following settings:
Image Management: Full URL
Carousel Thumbnails: Use Post Thumbnails
Gallery Method: ID Method
ID Method Settings: two page IDs currently listed (both pages have DCG Metabox filled in), also set default image.
Slide Pane Descriptions: Manual
All CSS options default
All Javascript options default
Restrict Script Loading: Default – Home Page Only (also tried specifying my home page ID with the 'pages'option)
I have also added the statement into the existing home.php in the theme folder
I can't find anything I'm missing, although I'm sure I'm missing something stupid :)
There are no errors on the home page, it simply does not show up.
Any help would be appreciated. As I mentioned in my PM, I'd be more than happy to pay the setup fee.
Thanks

@ trueimagestudio
You would need to reactivate the plugin so that I can see what's going on.
If you have your code in home.php and nothing shows (not even a DCG error message in the page source where the DCG should appear), then it sounds like home.php isn't being used to display the front page. Check your Dashboard > Settings > Reading options and make sure Front page is set to "Your latest posts".

Ade,
Thanks for your reply. I've got the site configured to use a static home page because I want to have specific content on that page (content is in development now). I'm using the Streamline Child Theme and have the code at the top of the home.php file (edited from the theme editor, so I figured it is right). The top two lines of home.php are as follows:
I've made no other changes to the file. Other than configuration, per the instructions I found, I'm unaware of anything else I needed to do to activate the plugin (it is also showing as active in plugins). As I mentioned in my PM to you, I'd be more than happy to pay the $25 setup fee to have you go in and fix or re-implement. Let me know what is best.
Thanks,
Doug

Hi Doug,
If you are using a static front page, then the theme's home.php is not used at all. Instead, you will have to add the DCG via a hooked function in the theme's functions.php. Something like this:
function child_load_dcg() {
if( function_exists( 'dynamic_content_gallery' ) && is_front_page() ) {
dynamic_content_gallery();
}
}

Thanks a million! That did the trick. I'm a bit a of a noob on the programming side of WordPress (like THAT got by you) I looked, but didn't find this, or more likely mistakenly overlooked it.
I've got it up and running, now I just have to populate it.
Thanks again.
Doug
