After logging in again you can reenable your cache settings under “System > Cache Management” and if used reenable Magento Compilation under “System > Tools > Compilation”. The installation or upgrade is now completed. If you are upgrading dont forget to re-enable the extension under “System > Configuration > Advanced”.

Enable jQueryYes / NoThe Product Image Enhancements extension uses the jQuery javascript library. If you have more extensions installed that use jQuery a conflict between these extensions can occur. In this case you can try to load a different jQuery version (see below) or disable the loading from jQuery from the Product Image Enhancements extension altogether.
jQuery Version To LoadDifferent jQuery versionsDetermines which jQuery library is loaded. If you merge your javascript file then loading the latest version from the Google CDN will not work. Usually the highest version loaded locally is recommended.

Try Loading Javascript Before/After All Other ScriptsBefore / AfterWith this setting you have (limited) control over the position where the scripts of the extension are added, either before or after scripts that are loaded through the theme or other extensions.

Troubleshooting

In this section you will find answer to common issues.

I recieve a 404 error after installing the extension and going to the settings page.

This is a common issue when installing Magento extensions. It is caused because the permission for using the new extension havent been set for the currently logged in admin user. The solution is to logout and login again in the admin backend.

After installing the Magento Flexslider extension something on my webstore broke.

This is caused by a javascript jQuery conflict between the Magento Flexslider extension and another extension and/or your theme. Most extensions and premium themes come with their own jQuery library and some extensions still use outdated versions that can conflict with the Magento Flexslider extension. Your first option would be to disable the loading of jQuery from the general settings. If this does not fix the issue you could experiment with the version of jQuery that is loaded through the Magento Flexslider extension to see if there is an older version of jQuery that doesnt cause any conflicts. These is a configuration setting that can also be found under the general settings of the Magento Flexslider extension. As a last resort you could also try to locate the extension that causes a conflict by disabling these extensions through the Magento backend under “Configuration > Advanced > Advanced”.

Unfortunately there is no straight forward solution to solve jQuery conflicts. If these actions did not fix the issue and you lack the technical skills to find the cause of the conflict yourself feel free to contact Solide Webservices and we will try to solve this for you free of charge.
