@meesha Hi, are these local or are they live somewhere that I could see and compare them?
The first thing I would check is the HTML for those pages, are both the slideshows present in the code on the page that is missing the slideshow? This will tell you if it’s an output error with CSS or JS, or one with the content or plugin or template files.

Josh – thanks, I usually can figure out these issues myself but have run into a wall on this one.
The setup and code is the exactly the same on both sites:
The original WordPress, non-Elementor, non responsive site that was built in 1995 and works perfectly is at: https://aroomwithaview.us/cms/rooms/.
The new WordPress, Elementor, responsive site, with the slides issue, is in the same domain, just a different folder – uses /dev/ instead of /cms/: https://aroomwithaview/dev/rooms/
The slideshow code is exactly the same on both sites: [meteor_slideshow slideshow=”Patio-Suite”] for the one on the left, and [meteor_slideshow slideshow=”Mezzanine”] for the one on the right. The right one is the one that duplicates the left slideshow on the new site, but works fine on the old.
Hope you have some insight on why – probably something simple that I’m overlooking but can’t figure it out.
TIA
No problem, it looks like it is something simple, on the dev site you’re using the slideshow titles rather than the slideshow slugs in the shortcode, those should look like this:
[meteor_slideshow slideshow="patio-suite"]
[meteor_slideshow slideshow="mezzanine"]

Josh – thanks,
I changed the titles to the slugs but it didn’t help. I had used the titles on the old one too, and it has worked fine for 8 years.
To see what would happen, I changed the code on the left one – the patio-suite – to mezzanine as well – so both read the same.
Suddenly the mezzanine images started showing up in that one instead of the patio-suite images, but the right mezzanine code still displays the patio-suite images – so there was still something wrong with the right one.
Knowing that the code in the left one is correct since it switched slideshows, I cut-n-pasted that code into the right one and suddenly it started working correctly.
I changed the code in the left one back to patio-suite and now both are displaying correct slideshows – interesting.
Even though the Mezzanine slides are now displaying correctly they are not at 100% like the left one still is – at lease I broke the pattern and now have a different issue to fix – but I feel I’m making forward progress.
I know that when I’m using one of my programming languages, that I can fix bad acting code by just re-typing the exact same thing that was there – never could figure out why.

Josh – got everything working correctly.
Since the mezzanine slides had not worked, I didn’t notice that I had uploaded the wrong size images and they were a little smaller – fixed now.
Glad to hear you got it figured out! Sometimes when you copy paste shortcodes and things into WordPress it can bring some extra code or formatting with it if you add it to the visual editor instead of the code editor.
