nivo slider resets to empty

[MMM]

When I return to dashboard, slider page does not show active slides list. But slider is actually running.
Whenever I click on appearance/asteria options/(make changes elsewher)/save changes/ – Nivo Slider disappears. I think it saves the situation I mentioned above so nothing is in the slider.

Basically each time I update any block or turn maintenance mode on/off, anything to do with asteria options, I have to again add each slide and take hands off of dashboard.
How to fix this?

Please make sure you add titles to each of your slides. You can’t save slides without titles.

I’m assuming I’m experiencing a similar issue since I added a slide without a title., so this is good to know.

But now how do I delete a slide that’s showing up on the live site but not in the Slider section of the Dashboard?

[Towfiq I.]

that shouldn’t happen. whats your site address?

[Andrea]

Why we have to add titles I we don’t want any words or numbers?

[Towfiq I.]

Just add this to your Custom CSS:

.nivo-caption{display:none!important;}

I’ve been having the same issue and I added your code .nivo-caption{display:none!important;} to the custom css however it is still not saving the images

[Towfiq I.]

you got it wrong. you need to add titles to each slide to save them.

At first, I couldn’t get the code to work either when putting it in the Custom CSS section of the Options dashboard. I have a childtheme set up, though, and when I put the code in the childtheme style.css it worked like a charm! ( I also added these bits of code to hide all the navigation, because I’m only using a single slide)

/*HIDES CONTROLS FOR NIVO SLIDER SO IT LOOKS LIKE A SINGLE IMAGE*/
.nivo-caption{display:none!important;}
.nivo-controlNav{display:none!important;}
.nivo-prevNav{display:none!important;}
.nivo-nextNav{display:none!important;}

ALSO! Be sure that if you are changing bits of code for your slider that you have that particular slider chosen in the Options dashboard. Nothing seemed to be working, then I realized I still had the “Unslider” selected instead of NivoSlider. doh!
