Can't get slider to work in Wordpress

The theme should come with instructions on how to update the slider. It's using Nivo Slider for the function, but there are so many slider variations it's hard to suggest.

You could try looking at the nivo slider docs. But the theme designer may have altered the implementation.
 
I have followed the instructions but the pictures are not loading up in that slider, I am pretty sure I have done everything correctly. :(

I will have another look tonight.
 
I have to add posts and use "featured_slide_img" however by adding more images, the animating is rubbish and keeps flicking between both photos quickly which looks rubbish. :p
 
A bit weird now, sometimes it is fading, sometimes it isn't.

Any ideas what could be causing that?
 
Sounds like a setting in the javascript to randomise the change effect. You're best bet is to look at the javascript you are including in the source and find where the slider is being executed.
 
I am not installing or including any script, I believe it should be all done in Wordpress. The weird thing is, sometimes it has worked as in fading to the images, but most of the time it just flicks through them.
 
You aren't but your theme developer has. He/she has used http://nivo.dev7studios.com/

Quite a common jquery slider.

On that page you'll find the settings that can be modified, in particular: effect:'random', //Specify sets like: 'fold,fade,sliceDown'

So, by the sounds of things, yours is set to random, and you'll have to modify that piece of code to get it to just do one effect.

If your theme developer is really nice, they may have built in the feature to change the slide effect without having to look at the execution script, but it's unlikely.
