 * Hi
    I’m currently designing [http://www.reignite.org.uk](http://www.reignite.org.uk)
   and I’m using your slideshow but I don’t seem to be able to have it in a post?
   Can we add it with a shortcode / post ID or do we have to create a new and then
   add to each post? Many thanks for your great work!

 * Hi,
 * Yes, you can add a slideshow to a post or page using the shortcode provided when
   creating or editing a slideshow. The shortcode looks someting like ‘`[slideshow_deploy
   id=1]`‘, ‘id’ has to be numeric.
 * So, yes. You have to create a slideshow first, which you can re-use as many times
   as you’d like. A slideshow does not show up to the public as a post or page does,
   it has to be called by shortcode, PHP code piece or as widget.
 * I hope that helps!
 * Best regards,
    Stefan

 * Hi
    I have created two slideshows but can’t get them to show on the page. I have
   used the code given ( see below) **<?php do_action(‘slideshow_deploy’, ‘4200’);?
   >**
 * I can’t get anything to show on the site?
    I am putting the code on the html 
   page? Can you help? [http://www.weegiewednesday.org](http://www.weegiewednesday.org)

 * Hi,
 * If you, as you just mentioned, are trying to put it into a page (or post), you
   should use the shortcode. The shortcode can also be found on the slideshow settings
   page. The piece of PHP code can only be used in your theme’s PHP files.
 * If you’re already doing this correctly, yet nothing’s showing up, it could be
   that 4200 is not the ID of the slideshow. Version 2.1.16 will fix the issue with
   using non-existent ID’s and will probably be released tomorrow.
 * Otherwise, could you put the code on your page again and point me to the page
   you’re trying to place the slideshow? I wasn’t able to find the page you were
   trying this on.
 * Best regards,
    Stefan

 * Hi
    Thank you for the speedy reply –
 * I have added this code on the html page
    **[slideshow_deploy id=4200] This is
   for the HOME page of the site [http://weegiewednesday.org/](http://weegiewednesday.org/)
 * I want the slideshow to appear just below the intro links under ” See what goes
   on at Weegie Wednesday”.
 * I would be so happy to have your help with this as I have another slideshow I
   want to put on another page too.
 * I tried to add as a widget just to see if it would work but that didn’t work 
   either. (I don’t want it as sidebar widget)

 * Hi,
 * I see you’re doing everything right, the slideshow is being output correctly 
   to the page. The reason that none of the slideshows appear, is that there’s a
   javascript error on your page.
 * The error is caused by a script called ‘flightbox’. I believe this script is 
   printed by the Flickr plugin, disabling the Flickr plugin will probably solve
   your problem.
 * Best regards,
    Stefan
