In version 1.2 of oik-nivo-slider I inadvertently introduced a bug which prevents the slideshow from working as expected for anything other than when displaying the image attachments to a post/page. This bug is also found in version 1.3.
The problem could be seen on the Nivo theme=pascal page.
This page is supposed to show 4 different ways of displaying links to posts of a particular category:
- nivo slider using [nivo]
- simple list using [bw_posts]
- image and excerpt using [bw_pages]
- images only using [bw_thumbs]
Workaround
There is a workaround to this problem… I have already applied it to the Nivo theme=pascal page.
It requires you to add two additional parameters
post_mime_type=" " - override the incorrect default setting of “image” – which is used for post_type=”attachments”. Note: the space between the quotes is important
thumbnail="large" – to set the size of the image.
Fix for version 1.4
There will be a fix for this problem in version 1.4. In the mean time, please use the workaround above.
