Hi there,
My situation is a little bit complicated. I'm currently using a theme that already use a content slider but this is a "old model" of slider. This slider is not automatic and the suer has to click on the post title to slide manually. This slider, called "featuredcontentglider.js" works in collaboration with timthumb.php ton generate the thumbnails. In each post, I have to set up two fields (entry-preview and preview-big) to insert my image in my slider. This is to heavy and that's why i've decided to remplace this slider with the beautiful DCG slider.
1) I have downloaded, installed and activated the Dynamic Content Gallery plugin.
2) In my home.php file (of my theme), I have deleded the code corresponding of my original slider and I have added the code corresponding to DCG plugin:
3) I've tried to desactivate my all others plugins but I have always a black screen and the loading bar…
4) I have added "add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');" in my theme's functions.php but nothing happened…
So I'm totally disappointed to get to work this plugin and don't know what to do now :(
Your help will be welcome for me !

My actual theme: TheStars – A premium Wordpress theme (http://www.premiumwp.com/the-stars-a-free-premium-…..ess-theme/)
PS: sorry for my bad english… i can see that you are from Swiss, maybe can u speak french too ? :)
Thanks in advance :)

PS2: Tried to switch to jQuery instead off Mootools but if it's in 99,999% of the time the problem's source, on my site, switching to jQuery make the black screen and the loading bar disappear.. Now there is a blank space… :(
Tip for other users: Black loading bar, and no carousel visible, usually means (99.999% of the time) a javascript conflict. Therefore switch to jQuery and see if that fixes it.

Hi,
Since you awitched to jQuery and got a blank space, I don't think there is a javascript conflict. There's probably something not correct re your image URLS. However, I can't tell without seeing the problem in action. So, reactivate the plugin and turn on Error messages (DCG Settings > Tools tab) and look at your Page Source to see the messages.

I agree, everything looks fine in your page source. What happens when you switch to jQuery?
Also, have you tried disabling all other plugins which are using javascript?

You can close this topic if u are not able to give some support to me.
I've installed the Featured Content Gallery plugin, and it's working fine. At the first time.

Good for you!
If you would like to pay for support I'll be more than happy to drop everything and attend 100% to your issue (which is a user issue, nothing to do with the plugin). If you're not prepared to pay, then you have to accept that support is given when I have free time to give it and, therefore, is not instantly on demand.
