In reply to: [Meteor Slides] Meteor Slideshow AlignmentIf there’s a different way to rotate images on a service page (widget or otherwise), I’m open to suggestions. I’m new at WP, so I really don’t know all the different ways to skin the cat.

In reply to: [Meteor Slides] Meteor Slideshow AlignmentOK. I did that. I tried putting it in these folders (one at a time)
/wp-content/themes/SimplePress
/wp-content/themes/SimplePress/includesAnd there is no change – the post is still showing up on the home page.

In reply to: [Meteor Slides] Meteor Slideshow AlignmentThe slideshow short code is in a service page. This is the code:

[meteor_slideshow slideshow=”test4″ metadata=”height: 126, width: 200″]

In reply to: [Meteor Slides] Meteor Slideshow AlignmentOk – here’s the link. The code is for home.php. Please let me know if you need code from any other templates, I’ll post them ASAP.

In reply to: [Meteor Slides] Meteor Slideshow AlignmentA moderator in the elegant themes forum thinks this is somehow related to the meteor slides plug in. Here is the code for the home page, can you see what would be causing the issue?
Here is the home.php code – can anyone tell me what code to delete so no posts will be shown?

In reply to: [Meteor Slides] Meteor Slideshow AlignmentOK…so another weird thing is happening now. I added my first post (recipe for BLT Rollers), and it is showing up on the service page immediately after your slideshow. Every setting I can find shows that NO posts are to be shown on the home page anywhere. Do you have any idea why this post is showing?

In reply to: [Meteor Slides] Meteor Slideshow AlignmentYeah 🙂 That’s the answer you emailed to me yesterday – I posted it there. Thanks for getting back to me, I really appreciate it. I’m new to WP and am still working through CSS, so I really appreciate your help. Your plug-in works great – exactly what we needed.
I don’t quite follow you on the “Test4” versus “test4″ comment. Are you talking about it’s usage in the shortcode where I should reference the slug rather than the name? [meteor_slideshow slideshow=”Test4″ metadata=”height: 126, width: 200”]
Thanks again Josh.
The issue ended-up being the style sheet associated with the “blurbs” on the home page. the answer was provided by the plug-in author – josh ay Meteor Slides:
There is a rule for the blurbs div containers that doesn’t just affect the top level divs, but also the nested ones for the slideshow:
#blurbs div {
background-position: left top;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
float: left;
margin-left: 30px;
padding: 5px 0 0 55px;
width: 220px;
}If you inspect the markup for the slideshow using Firebug, you’ll see what I mean. I’d suggest adding a class to the blurbs divs that you are using as columns and style the class instead so it doesn’t affect divs inside the columns. But you could also just make it more specific so it only affects the top level of divs in the blurbs container:
#blurbs>div {
background-position: left top;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
float: left;
margin-left: 30px;
padding: 5px 0 0 55px;
width: 220px;
