Slider and Full Width Posts

  • jodykphillips · Member ·

    Hi there,

    I have followed the theme’s “Setting Up Your Slider” guide. I do not see the Screen Shot that you’ve posted. I go to Appearance, Customize then it directs me to that customize, vertical panel on the right. I can select “Featured Content”. My only option there is to type in a tag name. I have gone through and added the tag to all my posts and have set them as “featured images” in the Post panel. I’ve also ensured they are all “standard” posts. What am I missing?

    My second problem is the narrower appearance of my blog. I was attracted to this theme for several reasons, one being its full-width template. How do I achieve that? I’m checking and rechecking the “Appearance” options like crazy, but again feel like I must be missing something.

    Because my blog is so image based, I’m at a bit of standstill over here. I hope to hear from you soon.

    Kindly,
    Jody

    The full width option is available from your page templates:

    Hi Scott,

    Great. Thanks for directing me to the “Full Width” option. Now, I’ve just got to recheck the size of all my images to ensure they’re at their best size and quality.
    Will hold tight on the slider issue. Trying to figure it out over here, but WordPress is new to me in general, so the slider is proving to be a bit beyond me at this stage!
    I hope to hear from you soon.

    Hi Scott,
    Still trying to get somewhere with the slider. Because the images have to be tagged to be eligible for the slider, this means they have to be uploaded into posts, as you can’t tag pages. What if you’re intending to use your blog as a site with mostly fixed, static content? I have read that you need a minimum of 4 posts to create a slider. All that said, when I do create 4 posts tagged with ‘featured’, each with an image, I’m still not seeing a slider. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hey Jody,

    Unfortunately there is no way to do this with pages as the slider will only pull in posts.

    Still looking into the slider issue, awaiting some feedback, and really appreciate your patience regarding that.

    Will get back to you as soon as possible.

    Thanks again,
    Scott
