I also just upgraded to 5.4.21 and lost all my slideshows. This is the first time I ever had a problem with an update of this plugin. It has been great for me as a non-techie who has volunteered to maintain a non-profit website.
The images just are aren’t showing up on slideshows. Just an empty space with the grey bar underneath where the description should be.
If you use “album” instead, you see all the images in the album but when you hover over them, only a vertical grey bar shows instead of the whole enlarged image.
Tried deleting and re-installing plugin, clearing cache. Running most current version of wordpress, have not added any plugins which weren’t already installed and working with WPPA prior.
I hope the fix is something simply.

De-activate and remove the plugin and re-installl as new. You will loose nothing. This should fix it. It has been patched.
Hi! Same here. Will all photos and structures remain if I deactivate and reinstall? Regards Hans
Hi again, I took the chance. Deactivated, removed, reinstalled and activated. But the Featured slideshow still is invisible. Regards Hans
@ccggrower1: I do not see a non working slideshow on: http://www.carlsbadcommunitygardens.org
Please supply a link to a page that shows the problem…
I fixed my issue by a roolback to 5.4.20. I’ll jump 5.4.21 and hope the invisibility-issue is just history in 5.4.22. Else I need an instruction how to solve it as the “Deactivat, remove, reinstall and activat” didn’t work on my installations. Regards Hans
If you can give me a zip file for download version 5.4.20 ?
Hi, thanks for checking my site. I finally got it to work last night and didn’t get back to comment. It seems (though I am not sure how many other changes I made to the settings and don’t really understand what they all do), that I got it to work by selecting “still at first photo” in Settings Table IV 3. with the “startslideonly” option checked in 3.1. If I select “running” (the default) in IV 3., I get the blank space where the photo should be. Previously, I had the slideshows running on their own but that doesn’t seem to work anymore. I would appreciate knowing why but am happy to have the photos visible as is for now.
I did deactivate, uninstall and delete the plugin a least a couple of times during my debugging efforts. The last time I reinstalled it, I deactivated my “All In One WP Security” plugin during the install just in case it was affecting anything. Also cleared browser history several times and reviewed your recommendations for “responsive” themes.
I would appreciate knowing why the default “running” setting doesn’t work. Seems like a memory overload issue? Should I uncheck IV 14 “Inline Styles”?
Thanks for the assistance
@hans:
Please re-install a new download of the current version. If it fails, give me a link that shows your problem.
@everybody: I fixed one problem, shown by hoomix, but he does not seem to know how or simply refuses to re-install the plugin.
Other problems: i can only fix if i see them or if i can reproduce it.
If you do not want to show the problem after installation of the CURRENT version, it will not be fixed, also not in 5.4.22, as i do not know about any preoblem that might be there. Clear? Or do i have to bump the version number, so all installation that did already update without problems have to do a useless update again. Then you are going to complain agian why there are so many updates… Tell me how i can satisfy everybody, if you rewally do not simply want to do what i ask.
Im through with this.
Hi Jacob,
I just changed the setting at IV 3. back to “running” so you can see that my slides don’t show using that default setting. I will leave it like that for a couple hours if necessary and will watch this posting to see if your have any further comments.
I very much appreciate your time and efforts. Your plugin has been great for our little non-profit.
Thank you.
I just refined the latest patch, please do a re-install again.
Go to the Photo albums -> Settings admin page, read the header, it should say:
Database revision: 5421. WP Charset: …. Current PHP version: …. WPPA+ API Version: 5-4-21-002.
If it is not 5-4-21-002. you must re-install
Done as you directed above. Setting IV 3. working set as “running”.
No other issues for me.
Thank you very much!
Hi Jacob,
Slideshows are back 🙂
Thanks a lot for your fast action.
Regards,
I had same problem and followed instructions above resolved the issue. “De-activate and remove the plugin and re-installl as new.”.
Thanks
