  Hi there,

  just tried to make the image in the slider a clickable link, the same as the text in the slider

  by

  going into easyslider.php.

  but seem to have made some error.

  I replaced<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

  and replace it withID, ‘slide_link’, TRUE); ?>”><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

  as written by in one of the forum topic but have totally got it wrong and now get this error when I click on the site:

  Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ in /home/tjsconz/public_html/wp-content/themes/Triton/easyslider.php on line 10

  please help,

  thanks in advance

  Replace this line:

  <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

  with:

  <a href="<?php get_post_meta($post->ID, 'slide_link', TRUE); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a>

  okay. remove everything from easyslider.php and paste this:

  <?php $option =  get_option('trt_options'); ?>
  
  <div id="slider" class="easyslider">
  
  <ul>
  
  <?php $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'slider', 'posts_per_page' => $option['trt_num_sld'] ) ); ?>
  
  <?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
  
  <li>
  
  <div class="slider-content">
  
  <?php the_title( '<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="' . get_post_meta($post->ID, 'slide_link', TRUE) . '" title="' . the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) . '" rel="bookmark">', '</a></h2>' ); ?>
  
  <a href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'slide_link', TRUE); ?>"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></a>
  
  </div>
  
  <a href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'slide_link', TRUE); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a>
  
  </li>
  
  <?php endwhile; ?>
  
  </ul>
  
  </div>

  thats great its fixed that issue and also the pic comes up as a link but only part or the pic and not the whole. i mean shouldnt the whole pic be a link and not just a part on the pic. sorry for sound so vague but what i am asking is that no matter where the mouse is on the slider pic it should be treated as a link … is that possible?

  thanks again for your patience. you are truely a legend

  its happening because the slider title is wrapped around with a box called “slider_content” and it cannot be made clickable. you can reduce the size of it by Adding these lines to stylesheet:

  .slider-content{width:350px!important; height:50px!important;}
