Latest/Featured Videos Carousel

So, I had a Latest Videos carousel running on the homepage, followed by a 1-column and then a 3-column set-up underneath in the:

Theme Options >> Page Setup >> Home Page >> Layout & Objects

I was playing around with adding another Carousel and Blog Posts to the home page, click the Save button – and yet again, all of the code entered in Latest Videos, 1-column and 3-column is wiped out.

This happens constantly whenever I add or delete elements to the homepage and click the Save button. Why does this happen???

Again, the Latest Videos carousel, does not show the star rating and author like it does on the demo page here on Premium Press. And half the short codes that should be available, don’t seem to work. This is what I have:

Theme Options >> Page Setup >> Content Pages >> Search Results Layout:

[IMAGE]<h1>[TITLE]</h1><div class=’hidden_details’><p class=’smallbits’>[DATE][AUTHOR][CATEGORY]</p>[EXCERPT][RATING]</div>
<p class=’smallbits’>Uploaded: [DATE]<br /> To: [CATEGORY]<br />by: [AUTHOR]<br />
Rating: [RATING]</p>

What am I doing wrong!?
