Sorry, I’m new to this and I am having trouble trying to get my header to allow the user to ‘push’ the header left/right – how do I do this?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi kegsunlimited,

To setup the slideshow on the home page you’ll want to navigate to Appearance > Customize > Featured Content. Here, enter a tag that you’ll assign to your slider posts (for example, ‘slider’), and then create posts (Posts > Add New) with this tag assigned. Make sure that you have a featured image for each post, and as you publish the slider on the home page will automatically populate.

Thanks!

I have looked and looked – I do not have the option “Appearance” to navigate to.

The ‘Appearance’ tab will be in the left hand column when you sign into your admin panel (kegsunlimited.com/wp-admin).

Thanks!

OK – first, thank you for directing me to the admin site; told you I was new to this…

I followed your instructions but I am still not seeing the posts show up as a ‘header slider’. Is there other settings that I may need to change on the theme?

It looks like you’ve changed your ‘Home’ page back to the default page template, so what you’ll want to do is edit your ‘Home’ page (the page you’ve selected under Settings > Reading), and make sure that you select ‘Home’ from the ‘Page Attributes’ drop-down: https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/

Thanks!

Looks like that did the trick! Thanks!
