Treehouse Guest TeacherIt 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.

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

7,796 PointsHi 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.

4,267 PointsOh, 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.
Wayne Fonseca
7,796 PointsHi Zac Gordon ,
Do you have any solution to this issue?
Wayne Fonseca
7,796 PointsThank you Zac :)
Erin-katie Strapp
4,371 PointsWhat was the solution? I am having the same problem and it is driving me up the wall >:( lol
Wayne Fonseca
7,796 PointsReplace the flexslider.css codes that are found in the downloadable files. wp-theme-development-stage-06.zip
Justin Mayfield
3,894 PointsThanks, 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.
Patrik Boyton
6,342 PointsHey 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
Wayne Fonseca
7,796 PointsHi Zac Gordon,
Yes, noted with thanks.

15,044 PointsIn 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; } '''
