    Note: Currently reverted back to old style player to stop the issues, but I would really like to keep using the HTML5 player if I can, we just can’t have all that loading happening at once when the main page loads up.

    Thanks again!

    Thank you for the reply!

    I actually believe the issue is an access issue to the API that outputs the JSON. The reason the link doesn’t work is because I have to whitelist IPs that want to access it. Which I have for my computer and the server the site is hosted on.

    But when I was troubleshooting, and testing out some basic PHP echo functions, it still wouldn’t work. Even though I could echo the contents of http://twww.swissfunddata.ch/sfdpub/fragment/current/16701, I couldn’t echo the API JSON URL.

    I am in contact with the folks who handle the API stuff to get this solved farther, as I do believe that is the core issue, and not the plug-in at all 🙂

    Thanks again for the time!

    Small update:

    Still not working, but I did fix the ” usage throughout, and put ” around rawget (I’ve also tried just not including method=).

    Still no go on getting data to display sadly.

    Hey there! Had a busy work week, so I was just able to start poking around more on this.

    The slider still just displays a dark rectangle, despite having the “First Featured Image” selected and trying to display a set number of posts via their post ID.

    It makes me think there is something “special” (read:weird) about how these posts choose to display. I’m going to poke the plugin maker about this too, and keep poking around PHP.

    FWIW they do not show up in the 2016 wordpress default theme, so it’s not like it’s an issue with just this theme.

    Thanks again for the help so far!

    EDIT: Considering it doesn’t work in the Twentysixteen theme as well, methinks its something with the plugin. If you wanted to mark this as resolved its fine. I DID get the posts to show in the category archives 😀 lol

    Thank you for the response. I have a bit of progress!

    I was adding the quoted PHP code in it’s own php bracket at the end of the functions.php, so that is what was causing the page to break when added. When I added the way you said to, the page didn’t break!

    Bonus is that the custom posts now show up in the archive pages for categories at least, since they use the same categories as posts do.

    They don’t show up on the main page in the category lists though. But I’m poking around to try and fix that.

    When I try to add the “articles” to the slider via post ID, it just displays a blank rectangle for the slider. Looks like this: https://i.sli.mg/HWeG6u.png But it’s something I’m going to poke around the slider code to try and fix. *crosses fingers*

    I did find the Custom Post Type widget, and tried to play with it but it doesn’t show the “article” type to select. Not a big deal though.

    Thanks again for the help so far! 😀
