    6. Unfortunately, I have not been able to give time to this. However, my guess is that the problem exists in plugin path being defined.
      I am yet to test it on wordpress multisite, I will update you once I am able to give some time to it.

      Mr. Vibe et al. I believe I have tracked down the essence of the problem. I am not sure what's contributing to it though. So in a WordPress Network (also called a MultiSite) you're instructed to create the directory blogs.dir underneath yoursite/wp-content. WordPress then creates a new directory under blogs.dir for any site in your Network that has uploaded files. So you get something like this:

      yoursite/
      ...wp-content/
      ......plugins/
      ......themes/ (etc)
      ......blogs.dir/
      ..........23/ (lets say this is bob.mydomain.com)
      .............files/
      ................2011/
      ...................05/
      ......................picture1.jpg
      ......................picture2.jpg
      ..........55/ (lets say this is jan.mydomain.com but I have domain mapping installed so I get jandomain.com out of it)
      .............files/
      ................2011/
      ...................02/
      ......................house.jpg
      ......................yard.jpg

      And so on. Then you typically access files for like this:

      Site 23: http://bob.mydomain.com/files/2011/05/picture1.jpg
      OR
      Site 55: http://jandomain.com/files/2011/02/house.jpg

      I tried to test timthumb cross domain but it did not work. Which is what's leading to our problem. Somehow when we tell timthumb to use those fake URLs it gets confused. BUT if we do this instead:

      Site 23: http://bob.mydomain.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/23/files/2011/05/picture1.jpg
      OR
      Site 55: http://jandomain.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/55/files/2011/02/house.jpg

      It works. I know its a bit of an irritant, but it does provide a work around until the problem can be solved. And hopefully knowing this will help towards solving the problem.

      Also you are using WP_CONTENT_URL which does create problems if a person has the DOMAIN MAPPING plugin. As for instance instead of referencing jandomain.com it keeps referencing jan.mydomain.com which causes timthumb to just ignore the entire thing. (I suspect timthumb is just ignoring the URL entirely since it realizes it's a fake link anyhow..but I've not had time yet to dig into the code).

      Mr. Vibe if you'd like you can ring me at 440.941.3396 and I'll link you to the site I've got this working on.

      Kind Regards,

      I got the solution. It is a database issue. vSlider tries add a row in a non-existent Table in the Database. Here is the solution - http://soumyabg.tumblr.com/post/26064528102/solution-for-vslider-wp-multisite-problem
