[wp-forums] Sharing login details to dummy host

[Joe Finnerty]

I’m not sure I was supposed to be a recipient on this chain.

The login info requested is for a large, live site.

I can assure you that I would not be asking for help, if I didn’t need it.

I have worked with many other themes, written a few etc …

Never had any problems.  Or at least those I couldn’t fix.

I have already coded around this problem but would just like to clean this up.

There are continued changes to these sliders and for some reason this one has been a real pain.

I have investigated plugin clashing etc… but to no avail.  What I will probably do is use another slider

that actually works.   The tone from this chain leads to me believe there really is no support, or at least

somewhat of a reluctance to assist with issues.  That is fine with me.  All I want to know is where the theme

stores the slider info.  File, db table????  I am resistant to supply any login info or ftp credentials.

If you don’t know where the slider is stored just say so and we’re done.


Thanks
Joe Finnerty
