   Hello

   When using the plugin "Featured Content Gallery", it seems that the coding does not work.

   See how it looks: http://dump.no/files/259098053e9e/FCG.png

   And when I want to use the headslider, the whole gallery places itself way to the right.

   See here: http://dump.no/files/259098053e9e/headslider.png

   I wonder if there's any limitations in terms of coding? Because when I try to embed videos with the embed code, the whole code appears like this, instead of the video.

   <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vgXXnEC_37w&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vgXXnEC_37w&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

   I have to use plugins to make videos appear, and that is not ideal for me.

   Is there anything I can do regarding this?

   the problem with featured content gallery seems to be just a problem of css styling. The plugin you use puts the gallery into a div id="featured". In arthemias style.css is #featured formatted to float right. Not using the featured stuff of arthemia you can try to delete all after #featured in your stylesheet (if there is..)

   To embed a video in the content you could try to put the code you show above into the code tag <code> </code>

   Anyway, in the filtered excerpt it will never show as video...

   I use the plugin 'Viper's Video Quicktags'. That gives you a valid (X)HTML code and embeds videos with the help of SWFObject.js

   I actually use arthemix-bronze, but can't find #featured. Is it anywhere else? Seems strange that the gallery you have made floats right though, that problem appeared right away when I activated the theme, before I made any changes to the set-up.

   Thanks for the videos tip, will try it out!

   It was the color of your category bar making me think it's arthemia...

   I would try to rename the file headslider.php - it will not load anymore.
   And also uncomment (or delete) all stuff in style.css starting with #headslider. To uncomment css do like this and add just /* stuff to hide */ :
   /*
   #headslider{ width:630
   ..
   ..
   #headslider .ui-tabs-hide{ display: none !important; }
   */

   Did not work. I can't understand what's wrong. Are there any codes I should change on the plugin maybe?

   As of now, the beginning of index.php is

   <?php get_header(); ?>

   <?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>
   <?php if(!is_paged()) { // only on first page ?>

   ...Before <div id="middle" class="clearfloat"> and everything else begins.

   actually, if this gallery is working in your original theme, it should use the same settings and bring out something.
   Under settings in your dashboard should be Featured Content to configure...
   I do not know, but did you check the source code of the preview. There might be more than you can see on screen because it's hidden?
   It might also be that the plugin works only in the activated theme, you could activate arthemix and look. This will not have any effect on your site's content.

   Where you have it now it show under the header, no matter if it's paged or not.

   I have done what you've said, activated arthemix-bronze, and even changed plugin to Dynamic Content Gallery. None of the options worked. There have to be some kind of limitation which does not allow the .php file to execute or something, I really don't know.

   This is the last function I have left before I can launch. This is a little frustrating. What can I do?
