Do any of the images have the .JPG extension?

If any of the images have .JPG as an extension, all uppercase, that will break the module. We are working on a fix, but in the meantime, please complete the following steps:

• Edit the image as if you were going to resize it but don't change anything.
• Save the image with a new name.
• Re-enter the image into the slideshow module and save.

If that doesn't fix it, contact us at (405) 478-4080 or file a support ticket and we'll figure out the problem.

Has the XML file been deleted?

Click the "Settings" button. if the final field is empty, try entering images.xml or slideshow.xml. If those don't work, contact us at (405) 478-4080 or file a support ticket and we'll fix it. 

Does clicking the pencil icon give you a blank page?

First, contact us at (405) 478-4080 or file a support ticket, because we have to fix it on our side.

Second, avoid the issue. It's probably an ampersand.

What's an ampersand? & ← That.

If you need to use an ampersand (in a link and/or caption), replace it with it's HTML entity, &. Yes, it starts with an ampersand but the browser will read it correctly.

Third, you will have to redo all your ampersands as entities every time you edit the module. This is because your browser will parse the entity (replace it with the appropriate character) on the page as it loads.
