Yes, sometimes upgrades to the WP engine result in some plugins suddenly having issues. One thing I always do when looking at widgets is to see the last time it was updated. If it hasn’t been updated within the last six months, I consider it abandonware and don’t touch it, because if it doesn’t cause problems now, it probably will in the future.

Your background image, http://www.daniellehanifin.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/wallpaper-cf2-1024×768.png is also giving a 404 message.

How big are these files? Some web hosts limit the size of uploads, although I find it hard to imagine that these files even approach that limit. (For me, it’s 7MB.)

Have you tried using FTP to see if the image file is there?

Maybe an image rotator like this one.

That is an awesome tool, Kim. Thanks! It really simplifies things.

Oh, I get it. You want the slider to just display illustrations. So you’ve created three posts with those illustrations that show up in the slider. BUT, you don’t want those posts to show up in the blog. Yes?

If that’s the case, I’m not sure there is a way, because the slider automatically pulls from the latest posts.

If your pictures are all the same height, you could use a custom URL for the slider, and then direct the custom URL to some sort of image rotator. The slider would still pull text from the latest posts, but if you set the height of the slider to the height of the images, the information from the posts wouldn’t show.

I tried this on my personal blog, but my image rotator rotates images every time the page is refreshed. You would need one that refreshes every five seconds or so…you would need to look for one of those. (If you refresh my page, you see a different image.)

Hope this helps.

That is probably because you are including links to your own posts in the new post.

Go to Settings >> Discussion and untick the box labeled “Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the article.” That should take care of the problem.

Do you mean that you do not want the posts that show in the slider to show on the front page? If so, you need this post.

I believe the background for those bars are set by the “sprite_h.png” image file (found in Graphene >> images). But you might want to wait for the new version of Graphene.

I think you want Graphene Options >> Text Style Options >> Text Size

See this page for how to specify font sizes.

Let us know if this isn’t what you mean.

Not quite sure why this posted twice. You can delete this one.
