Problem ze sliderem w szablonie

Witam, mam problem z animowanym sliderem który mi się nie wyświetla, w panelu go włączyłem () i mam tylko puste miejsce (), a powinno wyglądać tak ((). Starałem się przedstawić problem jak najprościej, ale nie wiem czy dobrze mi to wyszło. Kod tego slidera jest chyba tutaj:

<?php get_header(); ?>

		<div id="main">

			<?php if(get_option('pyre_featured_slider') == 'On' && get_option('pyre_featured_tag')): ?>
			<?php
			$featured_posts = new WP_Query(array(
				'showposts' => get_option('pyre_featured_posts'),
				'tag' => get_option('pyre_featured_tag')
			));
			?>
			<div id="featured-wrapper">

				<div class="slider-item">

					<?php while($featured_posts->have_posts()): $featured_posts->the_post(); ?>
					<?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'slider-image'); ?>
					<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" title="#htmlcaption_<?php echo $post->ID; ?>"/></a>
					<?php endwhile; ?>

				</div>

				<?php while($featured_posts->have_posts()): $featured_posts->the_post(); ?>
				<div id="htmlcaption_<?php echo $post->ID; ?>" class="slider-text nivo-html-caption">

					<span class="category"><?php the_category(', '); ?></span>
					<span class="date"><?php the_time('F d, Y'); ?></span>

					<div class="slider-heading">

						<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
						<p><?php echo string_limit_words(get_the_excerpt(), 40); ?></p>

					</div>

				</div>
				<?php endwhile; ?>

			</div>
			<?php endif; ?>

			<div id="items-wrapper">

				<?php $count = 1; ?>
				<?php while(have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
				<?php if($count == 3): $count = 1; endif; if($count == 2): $class = 'last'; else: $class = ''; endif; ?>
				<div class="item <?php echo $class; ?>">

					<?php if(has_post_thumbnail()): ?>
					<div class="item-thumb">

						} else {
							$icon = '';
						}
						echo $icon;

						<?php endif; ?>
					</div>
					<?php endif; ?>

					<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
