My slideshows don't work after updating to 6.x-2.0.
I tried resetting my view.
I also tried creating a new view, following these directions:
http://drupal.org/node/755018

In both cases, the view works when set to "unformatted", but does not work when set to "slideshow" with all the default options (single frame). I still end up with a page that shows nothing -- no errors, just a blank page.

A blank white page with no text at all? If that's the case then their is a code problem somewhere. Are you sure that the permissions are ok on the views slideshow files?

You can also temporarily change line 630 in includes/common.inc:
Replace E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED ^ E_NOTICE with E_ALL

This will show the error on the white screen.

I'm trying to eliminate any potential coding errors -- I created that test view, and I'm just choosing "view page" from the edit view screen. I've attached a file with the warnings that came up after modifying the error reporting as you suggested (thanks for the great tip!). Is there a problem with my module installation that is causing those warnings? I did try reinstalling the module yesterday.

It seems that it's picking up things that are not in Views Slideshow 2.0. The constants that it's talking about doesn't exist in 2.0

For that matter views_slideshow.views_slideshow.inc doesn't exist in the 2.0 version of views slideshow. You probably need to delete the views slideshow directory and then put the 2.0 version in it's place. Also you will need to clear the cache.

I deleted views_slideshow and views. Then I issued `drush dl views views_slideshow` to get the latest versions of the two modules. I cleared the cache. I tried changing the view to "unformatted" and verified that the page shows correctly. Then changed the view back to "slideshow" and the page STILL disappears.

There were still a few errors that show up. I've included those in the attached file, errors2.txt. I also included the code for the "empty" page.

There is no views slideshow errors. Looks like your error now is with wwwizard_display module. I'd check that out.

Progress...
I fixed the errors in the other module and was retesting. When I saw this statement:
"There is no Views Slideshow plugin enabled. Go to the Modules Page and enable a Views Slideshow plugin module. For example Views Slideshow Singleframe."
I realized I needed to enable the module, "Views Slideshow: SingleFrame". After doing this, the slideshow view WORKS! Excellent! Thanks for your excellent support and troubleshooting assistance.

I do have the following errors in my working view. Are they worthy of trying to eliminate?

Yes those are fine for now and won't hurt your slideshow.

Make sure you change the lines in common.inc back to the old settings.

I updated to views_slideshow-6.x-2.0 as well all my slide shows went blank and I noticed that all content was shown twice where ever I have the following php code snippet embedded in the body of the node. In summary Slide_show went blank and other content doubled up.

$view = views_get_view('blah_blah_block');
print $view->execute_display('default', $args);

I had backed up my site and I regressed back to the working views_slideshow version. Except for the annoying red highlight that particular module is out of date, I am staying pat.

Can you open up a new issue and if possible post a link to the site or at least an export of your view and the html of the slideshow that is exported? Thanks
