    I got a question: How can I add a fifth image to the kwicks page slider? I have five products that must be shown on the front page so I really need this to work.

    Kwicks slider in Simplicius template support only 4 images but if you are little skilled coder you can do it alone.

    1. open css/jquery.kwicks.css and set new width for kwicks slider items(185px)
    2. open header-slider-subpage.php and locate kwicks slider code.
    change the line 161
    from: <?php for ($i = 1; $i < 5; $i++): ?>
    to: <?php for ($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++): ?>

    NOTE: this is not small change in template. It may cause another issues

    Good luck :-)

    It worked just fine, I really like the page now, but having trouble with one more thing. I want a nextgen gallery (id=1) to appear in one of the custom html boxes. What ever I do I cant make that happen and the nextgen helpsection kinda suxs. Been searching for hours now and last resort Is you! Any idea of a tag to get [gallery=1] to work in one of the html boxes? I promise to buy a theme from you for the next site Im making :)

    3. paste it after line 259

    Thanks! dont know where my question went but I love the answer :)

    But just doing what you wrote didnt help, [gallery=1] Does not show up. Checked the link but didnt really get if there was something there I have to use, Im really not a code pro.

    Jepp saw that it has it´s own widget, but its just that I want to display different gallerys on different pages (via the custom boxes). The nextgen widget shows up on all of the pages! Thanks for the pic anyways! :)

    Wordpress dont provide option to show widgets on custom pages like Drupal.

    In Simplicius we created ultra simple solution to show widgets on custom pages but there are only 3 text widgets which you can use.

    Try this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-context/screenshots/

    Hi guys, I made the change to 5 images in slider but the caption text for each is off. The first slide is perfect, then all 4 other captions are the same length and too long so the words tuck behind the slide in front of it. I tried playing with the caption width but not changing for some reason. Where do I need to adjust this?

    Thanks!
