Title: [Plugin: Frontpage-Slideshow] Slideshow doesn`t appear Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Frontpage-Slideshow] Slideshow doesn`t appear * [Bob G](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shoestringwebs/) * (@shoestringwebs) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-frontpage-slideshow-frontpage-slideshow-slideshow-doesnt-appear/) * I can configure the slideshow in the dashboard, but when I activate it nothing happens. It does not appear on the home page. I receive no error messages. * Using 2.8.4 and AspireMagazine theme which has its own slideshow that is almost useless, so I am trying to replace it. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/frontpage-slideshow/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/frontpage-slideshow/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-frontpage-slideshow-frontpage-slideshow-slideshow-doesnt-appear/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-frontpage-slideshow-frontpage-slideshow-slideshow-doesnt-appear/page/2/?output_format=md) * Thread Starter [Bob G](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shoestringwebs/) * (@shoestringwebs) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-frontpage-slideshow-frontpage-slideshow-slideshow-doesnt-appear/#post-1193624) * Couldn’t get slideshow to appear on home page.

Similar to the above, I can activate and configure it no problem but when I insert the short code nothing shows up on my mainpage. I am using the Equilibrium theme and would like to replace the current “feature” section.

In answer to your questions: * 1. I deactivated all my plugins and FrontpageSlideshow still does not appear ( i.e. it is the only plugin running). As a side note in the configuration panel it can pull up the titles of my featured posts fine, but does not seem to be able to preview the images. Not sure if that is a clue. Also, when I try to insert the shortcode all that is displayed on the page is `[FrontpageSlideshow]`. Another clue? * 2. No javascript errors 3. prototype.js is the first inclusion * Thanks Jeff. I’m a bit new to this so any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers. * [jeff_](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeff_/) * (@jeff_) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-frontpage-slideshow-frontpage-slideshow-slideshow-doesnt-appear/#post-1193741) * @anysob : I just did some tests with your theme and the results are that the plugin works fine onto the sidebar and when a post is displayed as a single page using the shortcodes but, it does not work at all on others ways. * Your theme seems to not be fully compatible with this plugin. I try to fid a way to use the plugin with this theme. * [m0jtaba](https://wordpress.org/support/users/m0jtaba/) * (@m0jtaba) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-frontpage-slideshow-frontpage-slideshow-slideshow-doesnt-appear/#post-1193742) * i have same problem,thme my website is personalize. i use shortcode in my thmem. it is not apear in my home page. * [bartheemskerk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bartheemskerk/) * (@bartheemskerk) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-frontpage-slideshow-frontpage-slideshow-slideshow-doesnt-appear/#post-1193743) * I use this theme: * [http://www.blogohblog.com/wordpress-theme-black-and-white/](http://www.blogohblog.com/wordpress-theme-black-and-white/) * When I activate the plugin. All the text on the homepage disapears, I can only see titles and empty blog spaces. The widget is also not showing. * When I deactivate the widget the text is back. * Is this theme not compatible with this plugin? * [m0jtaba](https://wordpress.org/support/users/m0jtaba/) * (@m0jtaba) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-frontpage-slideshow-frontpage-slideshow-slideshow-doesnt-appear/#post-1193744) * [http://www.abadan-news.com](http://www.abadan-news.com) is my website as same problem with Frontpage Slideshow * [jeff_](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeff_/) * (@jeff_) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-frontpage-slideshow-frontpage-slideshow-slideshow-doesnt-appear/#post-1193745) * [@m0jtaba](https://wordpress.org/support/users/m0jtaba/) : When I have a look at the source code of your website, I can see that the theme you are using is including the jQuery framework badly that may be the source of the problem… * As the theme you are using seems to be made by yourself, I cant test more and only try to guess what is messing up. * A plugin seems to include jQuery properly, so I advise you to do these things: 1) suppress the jQuery inclusion that is hard-coded into yoyt header.php theme file and put the wp_head() function call before other javascript inclusions 2) use the WordPress API to include jQuery and put other javascript inclusions after the wp_head() function call.
