= 4. Why is there an empty space where the slider should be? =
It means that there is a JavaScript error on your site which blocks other
scripts(for example Smart Slider's scripts). You can open up the browser debugger
window with F12 button and check the console if it shows error or not. If you solve
these errors Smart Slider should work fine.
Usual problem is that you have the latest WordPress version, but your theme loads
very old jQuery version (1.7 or older) and the WordPress admin bar throws a
JavaScript error. In this case, you have to remove the old jQuery from your theme's
functions.php.
