Problem implementing Smooth Gallery in a WP Theme

Hi there,

I'm trying to implement Smooth Gallery 2.0 in my WP theme (Arthemia).

I'm basically following these instructions (How To Integrate Smooth Gallery Into WordPress) since I'm not really a coder.

However, I still get a blank box, where the gallery should be... so I'm assuming my query is no good (otherwise, I would at least have the post titles showing).

Here is my gallery.php file:

Do you see anything very wrong?

Anybody willing to give a hand?

Thank you very much!

 

Looks like you need to specify a post category. First, make sure all of the posts you want to display in your slideshow are in the same category. Then, try the changes below.

Where you have:

<?php query_posts('showposts=5');?>

PHP:

it should read:

<?php query_posts('showposts=5&cat=x');?>

PHP:

where x is the ID of the category of posts you are trying to display, OR:

<?php query_posts('showposts=5&category_name=x');?>

PHP:

where x is the names of the category of posts you are trying to display.

You can display multiple categories of posts using commas between the category names or ID, e.g.

<?php query_posts('showposts=5&cat=2,43,109');?>
