Hello, I have an existing site running WP 3.4.1 that I recently applied MikMag too. So it’s not a fresh install, however I only have Woocommerce, Google Forms and Formstack plugins activated. I also tried unactivating all of them but it didn’t help.
The issue I’m having is I can create sliders, however once I try to “Edit” them all I get is an “Add Slide” link. Clicking on it does nothing and I’m unable to proceed. I’ve tried from two different computers and four different browsers with the same result.
I’m assuming this is some sort of conflict, but since this is an existing, in-use site I can’t just start deleting things. Any ideas on where to look first?
Thanks TD

I looked into it some more. I tried disabling all plugins but it didn’t help. I opened the page and inspected it with Safari’s Error Console and received the following errors (see screen shot). All called upon scripts seem to be exactly where they should be when viewing the site via FTP.

Did some more digging, apparently the issue is the theme is trying to load the scripts from a root directory install, however my WP install is in a subfolder (/wp).
Basically, it’s calling for the scripts at: http://www.example.com/wp-includes/js
But it should be: http://www.example.com/wp/wp-includes/js
I was able to make a change to the slider-builder.php file, two instances of “home_url” were changed to “site_url” on lines 7 and 18. This fixed the glitch and now my Slide panel is operating properly.
HOWEVER, when I try to add a pic to any slides and the WP Media Uploader is called upon, it comes up with a 404 not found error in the resulting iframe window. I assume it’s a similar issue, so I’ll have to start digging all over again.
Some support would be appreciated, as this is a bug and not an install problem. There’s no reason a theme should require a root install to work properly.

Hi Curt,
I understand how these absolute links are keeping you from properly using the theme in a sub directory and will pass this problem on to our development team to take a look at, linking to your topic as an example. It will then be up to our developers to investigate this further and to decide what to do.

I am having the same issue were you able to solve the slider problem? I would like to replace my old theme with this one however if I can not use the sliders it does not do me any good to swap over.
