lifestream carousel WordPress

  • SOLVED

Has anyone used the Agregado WordPress theme? I can get the lifestream to display, but I cannot get the carousel to scroll through it. I've installed it twice to no avail.

Here is an example of it working properly: http://www.darrenhoyt.com/demo/agregado/

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Do you currently have the carousel enabled on your site? Is it supposed to show up under the 'Find me Elsewhere' section?

There is definitely some code missing. Have you made modifications to the theme?

When I compare the code generated on your site vs. the code on the original theme, this is what I see:

The original site has some DIV's that wrap around the list.


<div class=" jcarousel-skin-tango">
<div class="jcarousel-container jcarousel-container-vertical" style="display: block; ">
<div class="jcarousel-prev jcarousel-prev-vertical" style="display: block; " disabled="false"></div>
<div class="jcarousel-next jcarousel-next-vertical" style="display: block; " disabled="false"></div>
<div class="jcarousel-clip jcarousel-clip-vertical">

<ul id="mycarousel" class="jcarousel jcarousel-skin-tango">
<li>....</li>
<li>....</li>
</ul>

</div></div></div>



On your site it only has:



<ul id="mycarousel" class="jcarousel jcarousel-skin-tango">
<li>....</li>
<li>....</li>
</ul>


Maybe there are some settings you need to configure in the wordpress admin section

Im guessing there's a setting somewhere to turn on the carousel, probably under a 'Settings' section for your theme.

There are a lot of "agregado" settings, but only for entering feeds, not for the carousel specifically.


Dan | gteh comments:

I do see that you have multiple items in there. Something is definitely not being done properly though.

If you want me to, I can take a look if you want to email me your wordpress admin details and your FTP info

Also, the them uses Jquery to to the carousel. It is very possible that you have another plugin trying to load jquery which is causing a conflict. If you'd rather troubleshoot yourself you can try to disable all existing plugins for now and see if that fixes it. Then you can do process of elimination to see which plugin is causing the conflict.

The other possibility is that the theme is simply not compatible with Wordpress 3.04 (the latest version). The theme was developed in 2008 and has not been updated since then.

Hi. Please, Try to put more items to scroll down

There are dozens of items there (you can view them in the source code) so that's not the issue.
