   Hi, I´m having trouble setting the Fancy Images shortcode on the sidebar using the text/html widget.
   The exact same code works on he homepage but not on the sidebar. The images keep on the loading loop animation for a long time until they freeze.

   The theme is Elegance, and I´ve already tried the solution of this thread without success (it wasn´t for Elegance, though):

   ---
   On a sidenote, the Fancy Images shortcode that I´ve used on my homepage was wrapped by the tags [RAW] and [/RAW].
   I´ve managed to get rid of these tags by simpling changing the 156 line of "18-images.php"

   from:
   156: return '[raw]' . $out . '[/raw]';

   to:
   156: return '' . $out . '';

   But I don´t think this dirt fix is related to the sidebar problem, as I´ve tried with the original 18-images.php without success.

   Hello emurai,

   Our preloader does not check for images in the sidebar. You can edit the fancy_images file and take preloading off to get it working.

   On line 109 in the 18-images.php file you should see this,

   'preload' => true

   Change it like this,

   'preload' => false

   Or instead you can change it like this,

   'preload' => $preload

   And then add this beneath line 78,

   'preload => '',

   This will let you select which images get preloaded like so,

   [fancy_images preload = "false"]

   Hmn, it did not work here.

   The first solution (change the line 109 to FALSE) isn´t working.

   The second solution neither. At first it crashed, but it was because there´s a missing ' in the end of "preload" in the extra line you wrote.
   I´ve also tried removing the extra spaces on the new tag (preload="false"), but it also didn´t work.

   *solved*
   Yo! I figured it out.
   It was the line 149 that should be changed to "false", instead of the line 108 (or 109)

   Thanks for the quick support!

   Awesome! It worked for me too. Only thing is that in the Modular Theme it's on line 116.

   Yo, Support! Any chance that this bug will get sqaushed? It's been 8 months since the bug was discovered? Are the theme updates really that far apart? Yikes! I mean it's understandable to a certain point because MySiteMyWay Dev makes hella-good themes. Now, I personally think that all other Wordpress theme developers must be aliens from the planet Zebulon. Finally REAL HUMAN BEINGS developing wordpress themes. I CAN"T BELIEVE IT!!! :)

   Thanks!

    Yes we'll most likely be adding sidebar images to our preloader soon as well. I'll move this to feature requests.

    Ouch, So it's just now, being put in as a "feature request"? Honestly the work around isn't working so great. None of my text labels are displaying on the images anymore. Is there any way to correct this issue on my end? The site is going live within a week and I'm trying to pull all the loose ends together.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Once again, Is there any way to get the code [image caption=""] working in the sidebar, with preloader set to code'preload' => false? This is really becoming a pain in my side. Thanks in advance.
