Set the widget-cache time to "0" could help.

I am having a rather unique problem that isn't specific to this slider either.

Anytime I try to install any slider I encounter an issue where the CMS widget displayed on the home screen is displaying the "customize" options instead of the script. I think that there is an issue with pulling article information or java, I'm not sure what is causing this problem but assistance would be wonderful.

[DragonByte Tech]

That's certainly the strangest problem I've ever heard of... Sadly I have no idea what could be causing it

Hmm was running an earlier version without issue, upgraded to 3.0.1 and now the slider is just collapsed on the CMS without any content.

ahh was just a template conflict, reverted the widget template and all is well. Something borked in the template merge from 2.0.0 -> 3.0.1

We're running it with vBSEO @ our forum, and we experience no problems. If you have a specific problem then please post it.

I have tried using this on clients sites with Vbseo installed and when clicking on the slider images they usually get sent back to the cms page. My clients really like this slider until they try to follow an image.

Is there something specific that has to be done upon install to get this working properly with Vbseo?

Thanks for the reply Fillip

Update-was an older version..not sure if it was the same version as here. The new version works with Vbseo though.
