Thanks for taking the time to explain things more specifically for me, Jonathan.
Obviously, I’m going to have to dig into some code on this one, and figure out what is supposed to be happening in the page editor, and why it isn’t happening.
But the field is in the page editor (I.e. when I go to page-> all paged-> and choose “Edit” for the home page, where I can edit that page).
The field appears, but there does not appear any means to edit the slide, which my boss expects to be there (another guy on the team installed the plugin and initially set up this field, so I’m going to have to dig into and diagnose whatever is wrong with his work; He’s generally a skilled bloke, and sometimes fixes my errors, frankly, so I’m surprised his work isn’t functioning…).
I suspect I’ll be back with more specific questions, eventually, but until I have a better handle on what I’m doing with this, I’ll try to avoid asking any more useless/stupid questions.
I see now that the ACF plugin just inserts this into the page?
Frankly, I’m unclear what ACF even does that’s supposed to be useful to me.
Or, it’s supposed to allow me to use a short code to insert and manipulate the slide show from the page editor, or something, but it doesn’t
I don’t know why the boss paid for a license for this thing…it isn’t working.
The slide show is created with the easygalleryslider
I don’t know, at this point, what version it was before I updated it, but at this point it’s the latest, pro/premium version of the plugin.
I don’t know how to answer these other questions.
I was not involved in the initial installation, configuration, or implementation of this plugin, but was just asked to try to fix it, now that it isn’t working.
I have all the xml/json/php exported files, if any of that will help.
