I used to use slideshow a lot then all of a sudden the simple button to insert one has disappeared. Why???

I tried copying a previous blog post which has a slideshow but the photos still went in a big long line. I kept the [slideshow] at the end of them but it didn't work.

Thanks in advance :)

Thank goodness!

As for the order of the slideshow, I've heard it is dependent on which order you upload the images (oy vey). Good luck!

Can get slideshow but not in the correct order.

Mine are back to front. So I can get a slideshow, I can change the order (via gallery faffing) but I can't get it to start from the beginning.

I used slideshow a lot too - saves cluttering up my blog with too many photos and I dislike the gallery thumbnail format :(

I typed [slideshow] on its own line after the first sentence, and no slideshow is present.

I'll keep at it, but thanks for the response. =)

Then the short code worked like a charm.

I hope that helps!

I have no way to install NEW slideshows on new pages and posts.

Suddenly, it's gone, and the "solution" I found on the forums - simply applying the shortcode after attaching images - does not work.

Can someone please tell me when it will be fixed and give me a timeline on that real solution?

Thanks.
