 * Hi,
 * I want to use both the Slideshow plugin from [http://wordpress.org/plugins/slideshow-jquery-image-gallery/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/slideshow-jquery-image-gallery/)
   and the Display Posts Shortcode plugin from [http://wordpress.org/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/).
   For the most part it works, but if I use the include_excerpt on the same page
   I have my slideshow, the slideshow breaks. I just see !slideshow_deploy! where
   the slideshow should be, then the post listings as I should.
 *     ```
       [slideshow_deploy id='870']
   
       [display-posts category="CalendarEntry,FrontPageNews" posts_per_page="4" include_excerpt="true"]
       ```
   
 * is broken, but
 *     ```
       [slideshow_deploy id='870']
   
       [display-posts category="CalendarEntry,FrontPageNews" posts_per_page="4"]
       ```
   
 * Is not. I’m posting this in both forums because I have no idea which plugin is
   the culprit. I tried changing the order, so display posts is on top of the slideshow,
   but get the same result.
 * I could disable one or the other, but the client wants a slideshow with a listing
   of calendar and news items underneath it for their front page. I really like 
   both plugins.
 * Cross-posted to both support forums.
 * Thanks,
 * Bob
