Did not seem to work.

I have no idea if this would help but here are the install instructions on the classipress side…

XTREME CAROUSEL V1.2 SLIDER PLUGIN FOR CLASSIPRESS

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Upload the “xtremecarousel” to your plugins folder
2. Activate the “xtremecarousel” plugin
3a. Look at your themes/classipress/index.php file, lines 9 to 14:

<?php
if ( file_exists(STYLESHEETPATH . ‘/featured.php’) )
include_once(STYLESHEETPATH . ‘/featured.php’);
else
include_once(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/featured.php’);
?>

3b. And change it for:

<?php if (function_exists(‘xtremecarousel’)) xtremecarousel(); ?>

<?php // Comment the default CP Slider
// if ( file_exists(STYLESHEETPATH . ‘/featured.php’) )
// include_once(STYLESHEETPATH . ‘/featured.php’);
// else
// include_once(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/featured.php’);
?>

If you also like to show the slider on your category pages now we’ve already built this feature into the last 1.1 update. This means you’ll have your featured ads on category pages filtered per the category being showed.
4. To achieve this you just need to look for your themes/classipress/taxonomy-ad_cat.php file and add:

<?php if (function_exists(‘xtremecarousel’)) xtremecarousel(); ?>

… after line 14. So the code must look like:

<div id=”breadcrumb”>

<?php if ( function_exists(‘cp_breadcrumb’) ) cp_breadcrumb(); ?>

</div>

<?php if (function_exists(‘xtremecarousel’)) xtremecarousel(); ?>

<!– left block –>
<div class=”content_left”>

are you running the forum on the default page template or did  you create a custom one?  if so you might need to add it to the custom page template…  those directions seem to show how to put it on main page and a featured page…

Ermm not sure i understand to be honest. I am running the latest version of classipress. The simple press theme is one of the ones that come loaded with the plugin. When people connect to my site it should by default put you on the classipress home page but in the wordpress settings under reading i have it set to direct you to the forums so in effect the forums are the home page.

Steve was referring to the WP page template being used to display the forum. You can find what template this is by editing the forum page (WP Admion > Pages) and looking at the template being used. That leaves the question of whether this ‘featured ads’ code also needs adding to that template…

Well under Template it says Default Template..?

OK so what you need to do is find another page that also uses the ‘default template’ to determine whether that shows this added content or not…
