Hello Alzea
I wasn’t using the same theme as Yoshaj. It was a home-grown theme based on twenty ten. In the end I couldn’t get it to work (showed up in back office but not on public site) so I had to find another version. Thanks anyway for your concern.

Hi Nico
Thanks for the plugin. I like the simplicity.

One problem: I have a French version of WordPress but the French translation isn’t being used. (I do have the .mo and .po files in the languages sub-directory of advanced-responsive-video-embedder.)
Thanks in advance for your help.

I had this problem with running the plugin on Webmatrix on localhost (IIS). However, when I uploaded the plugin to a linux server it worked – that is to say I didn’t get this error message.

I also had some difficulty following the instructions so I have made them more explicit. I hope this is helpful.

Let’s assume you want to create a slideshow called “Street Photography” which contains 5 different pictures about street photography.

1. Firstly you need to create a slide collection to house all your slides for this slideshow. We call slide collections “Slide Types”.
Click “Slide Type” and then fill in the form on the left labelled “Add New Slide Type”. Give your new slide type the name of “Street Photography”, for example, with a slug of “street-photography”. Do not use accents or spaces in the slug.
2. Upload all the 5 pictures to the WordPress Media Gallery. You do this by clicking on Media, Add and selecting the photos on your computer. Note that the slides all need to have the same aspect ratio. Otherwise parts of the largest slide will show below the others.
3. Go to Fluid Responsive Slideshow. Click on Add Slide (near the top). Enter a title (e.g. “The Sitting Man”) in the box where you would normally enter the title of the article. This will be the title of the slide. If you want a description to appear below the title you should enter it in the text area. Do not put anything else in this area.
4. Click the set featured image link (bottom right). Select the sitting man image from media library by clicking on it once. A blue box will appear around the selected image. You can then click on the “Set featured image” (bottom right). You do not need to fill in any of the other fields.
5. Since you want this slide to be shown in the “Street Photography” slideshow, tick the “Street photography” check box in the Slide Type section (on right). If you want this picture to be the first slide in the slideshow, set the order number to 1 (in Slide Options below the text box), then click Publish.
6. Now you need to add the other 4 pictures, so repeat steps 3-5 using same Slide Type (Street Photography) but with a different title, description, featured image, and order number.
7. Open the post or page in which you want to show the slideshow and add a shortcode to the post content. In this case the shortcode would be [pjc_slideshow slide_type=’street-photography’]. Note that the shortcode is the Slide Type slug and not the Slide Type name.
6. Save the page then check the result.
