Hi there.
I have just installed the revolution slider plugin and it's just showing a grey box instead of an image slider.
When I checked their support forum it came up with this answer below. I've tried the [raw] suggestion, but that doesn't work. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this error.
Thanks!

“The Revolution Slider is not showing up. Instead I only see a grey box. What is happening?”
The theme you are using is breaking the Revolution Slider plugin and wil break certain other plugins too. This is a very well known bug in the WordPress theme community and should be gone by now. Please contact your Theme Author who should fix his theme with this article about his bug: http://pippinsplugins.com/never-remo...ers-in-themes/ If the theme author does fix his theme a quick workaround would be to use the [raw] shortcode wrapped around our revslider shortcode. Example: [raw][revslider yourbanner][/raw]

I am using the Revolution slider with Atahualpa with no problems using the widget in a "New Widget Area"

How are you adding the slider?
What version of PHP are you running?
What version of Atahualpa?
What version of WordPress?
Have you tried deactivating all other plugins as a test?

Those would be the things I would be checking.

Hi!

How are you adding the slider? Tried adding to a page with the shortcode [rev_slider homeslider] and also tried adding it to a widget area....still just a grey box.

What version of PHP are you running? 5.2.17

What version of Atahualpa? 3.7.12

What version of WordPress? 3.5.1

Have you tried deactivating all other plugins as a test? Yep, deactivated all plugins, still same problem

Thanks for helping me!

The only difference I see is that I am using 5.3 which means you may need to either move to 5.3 or perhaps turn Magic Quotes off. Magic Quotes is off by default for PHP 5.3 which is why I just move to that. I have had several small issues that were resolved by moving from PHP 5.2 to PHP 5.3.

Just switched themes to Twenty Twelve, and it works.
So that would mean it's something to do with Atahualpa right?

As I said I have used it with Atahualpa successfully.

Hi again.
I've just had a message back from the plugin developers and they said

"Contact theme author , he is using some old js tags that is causing the error. I had a look but cant figure it out."

Do you know of which js tags might be causing the error?
I can't work out why it would work for you and not for me???

Will upgrading to php 5.3 make any difference since it works with another theme?

Appreciate your help with this

First they said it was filters now its old jS tags. You are going to have to ask them what jS tags

Hi Juggledad and lmilesw
Just thought I'd let you know that I just reinstalled the theme, and hey presto, it's working.
So dunno what the story was there......bad hair day maybe!
Thanks for trying to help though.
