Issue with scroller & Slider plugins

[Mathias]

Hello,

I have an issue with a scroller plugin on my homepage that is supposed to display the different events in the queue. It is able to display any post and to filter them by category but for some reason I am having no luck pulling the events from calendar pro. I have tried few snippets but no luck so far :(. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m sorry you’re hitting difficulties.

I do need to be clear though that the amount of support we can offer for integration issues with third party plugins can be pretty limited, but I’d certainly be interested in hearing more.

Does this problem occur with any plugin in particular? Can you provide a link?

Hello Barry,

Here is a link: http://candybar.staging.wpengine.com/

This happens with revolution slider, layerslider, NewsStream, the Avada theme (a few other themes.) – I’m trying to make NewsStream work – and everything that has to do with pulling post as far as I can tell except SmoothSlider. I totally understand that there is no way for you to support every single plugin out there :). However I think there might be a pattern here and figuring out why SmoothSlider is working and not all the others might help.

If possible any help would be greatly appreciated! And I would like to say that except this small problem the the plugins have been amazing so far!!

Cheers

OK – and so at the URL you provided I do see a slider and it seems to be pulling events in successfully – what’s the specific problem? Is it pulling in only those in a specific category?

If so, it’s worth bearing in mind that event categories are not the same as regular post categories – so if your slider plugin of choice does not support custom taxonomies that could be the problem here.

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
