Configuring The Slideshow.

• The theme slideshow use Mootools JS Framework, so if u have use plugins that utilize other framework like Jquery and Prototype, the Slideshow may not work properly.
• From the past experience, this is where most people facing problem. So, once again. Follow this instruction.
• In order to make picture appear on slideshow, you have to add custom fields in each post on the category you set as featured category in the theme options page.
• Make new custom field named “featured” (without the quotes), and enter the image URL as the value. Remember: The image must be hosted on your domain. Otherways, it won’t work.

Featured Slideshow configuration

2. The theme slideshow also use the TimThumb PHP script to automatically create and resize the slideshow images, and in order for it to work properly you need to take note of the following things first:

• There’s a cache folder for the thumbnail images located in the theme folder which requires proper write permissions. If your host server doesn’t allow this by default, be sure to manually change the /cache/ folder permissions to 777 or 755.
• Use absolute paths for your images in the custom fields. For example http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/images.jpg
• If your Hosted your site in Hostgator and your image didn’t appear after following all the instruction. Try to contact hostgator, tell them the problem and ask them to get your site whitelisted on the mod_security stuff. There’s a security function in hostgator that prevents the timthumb from working.

3. For the homepage post thumbnail, the theme will automatically create and resize the thumbnail from the image in your post. So no longer need any custom fields input. Just make sure your image is hosted in the same domain (just use the image uploader in the WP Post Editor, and you will have no problem).
