    Hi,

    I loaded the Wootheme Swatch on Wordpress for my website and for some reason the features are not working:
    - slider
    - mini-features

    would you be able to tell me why?
    or to guide me on a forum that can help (apart from woo forum which require purchase)

    Thank you very much if you can help.

    Can you give us more details about the problem such as the URL the website is installed on. Also, can you please test the design when no other plugins are activated as it could be clashing with another plugin you are using.

    Let me know if deactivating other plugins helps.

    Kevin,

    I deactivated all the plugins and it still not working.
    I think the problem is coming from the php page itself.
    for some reason the slider & mini-feature php page doesn't load when called by:

    Code:
        <?php if ( isset( $woo_options['woo_slider'] ) && $woo_options['woo_slider'] == 'true' && is_home() && ! is_paged() ) { get_template_part( 'includes/featured' ); } // Load the Featured Slider ?>
        <?php if ( isset( $woo_options['woo_mini_features'] ) && $woo_options['woo_mini_features'] == 'true' && is_home() && ! is_paged() ) { get_template_part( 'includes/mini-features' ); } // Load the Mini Features ?>   
    
    What do you think?

    I'm not sure. If you can set me up with an admin login for your site temporarily, I'll have a look for you.

    ok i will do that.

    Thank you

    PS: thats the weirdest thing I ever came across...

    I've had a look at your site. You seem to have set up everything the way you should have. This makes me think that the theme is no longer working i.e. a WordPress update has made important parts of the design break.

    I'm uploading the design to my test blog just to check I get the same result as you.

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

    I tested the theme in my test area. I installed the theme and uploaded a slide. The slide displayed properly right away. Therefore, I don't believe the theme is broken.

    Have you changed any templates?

    This could be a pain but my suggestion would be to upload the theme again (i.e. without any modifications) to a different folder and see if it works. If it still doesn't work, it must be something to do with your settings. As your site is brand new, the quickest way would be to just reinstall WordPress.

    Kevin,
    You've been a great help and my problem is sorted...
    didn't sleep all night :D and went to bed at lunch!
    am on the site and its all up and runing.

    The problem was:
    - In the settings>reading
    - As I design site from scratch without templates I use the function "static page"
    - And for this templates you have to leave it to "Your latest posts"

    It's all done now... mainy thanks!
    This forum is defo booked marked!!

    I'm surprised I didn't notice that myself. Glad you got it sorted in the end :)

    hey Kevin,

    I knooow... me neither!
    I/we were too focus on the actual theme or wordpress and not seeing the obvious.
    But thanks anyway.

    PS: thanks for the plugins idea (Business hours)... Gona use it on a customer's website thanks.
