It looks like the slideshow is using fonts instead of images now. So, you need to make sure that the links to the font files are correct in the same way in the video we made sure the links to the images were correct.

In version 2.1-1 of flexslider this means replacing:

'''css /* Font-face Icons */ @font-face { font-family: 'flexslider-icon'; src:url('fonts/flexslider-icon.eot'); src:url('fonts/flexslider-icon.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('fonts/flexslider-icon.woff') format('woff'), url('fonts/flexslider-icon.ttf') format('truetype'), url('fonts/flexslider-icon.svg#flexslider-icon') format('svg'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; } '''

as follows:

'''css @font-face { font-family: 'flexslider-icon'; src:url('../fonts/flexslider-icon.eot'); src:url('../fonts/flexslider-icon.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('../fonts/flexslider-icon.woff') format('woff'), url('../fonts/flexslider-icon.ttf') format('truetype'), url('../fonts/flexslider-icon.svg#flexslider-icon') format('svg'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; } '''

Look for the images file that are included and just update the links as you would with the other ones.

Underneath the video they give you a link to the flexslider site and tell you to download flexslider. all the js/css/image files related to flexslider will be found within the downloaded content.

Hi Tyler,

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I have downloaded the link within the content. What you will notice is that the flexslider.css does not match the content of the video. I suspect that the video was made with a different version of the flexslider.

Oh, sorry I read your question wrong. I have yet to actually finish this so I don't have a solution. I assume you are correct and that flexslider has been updated and no longer requires said image. Zac Gordon might have the answer for you.

Hi Zac Gordon ,

Do you have any solution to this issue?

What was the solution? I am having the same problem and it is driving me up the wall >:( lol

Hi Erin-katie Strapp,

Replace the flexslider.css codes that are found in the downloadable files. wp-theme-development-stage-06.zip

Thanks, Wayne! That helped.

Specifically, it's the project files that can be downloaded on the page of the first video of the section.

I believe that's here:http://teamtreehouse.com/library/websites/how-to-build-a-wordpress-theme/wordpress-theme-functions/wordpress-variables-tags-and-functions.

Hey and sorry for awakening this old post!

What am I supposed to copy from the wp-theme-dev~.zip? There's so many css-files and I couldn't find anyone that drew my attention to flexslider.

Thanks in advance
