  Hi I chose the Oxygen Theme, but I can’t seem to get it to look like the theme. I have specific questions on both layout and hosting. Can I speak to someone? I tried to go through all the written help options and can’t figure it out.

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

  Hi there,

  I’d be happy to help you get the Oxygen theme set up on your site. You can reply here with any specific questions you might have.

  One thing to know is that the Oxygen demo site is using the Showcase Page template on the front page. There are a few steps to get this set up:

  1. First, you will need to create a page (under Pages > Add New in your dashboard) and assign it to the Showcase Page template from the Page Attributes module. Don’t worry about adding any other content to the page in the page editor — the template will fill it in for you.

  2. If you’d like use the Showcase Page template on your front page, go to Settings > Reading in the dashboard and set the Front page option to Static Page. Select the page you just assigned the Showcase Page template to as your front page.

  You can find out more about your site’s Reading settings here: Reading Settings

  3. Once that page is set up, you can create a featured slider on the page by creating Sticky Posts. For a sticky post to appear in the featured slider, it needs to have a Featured Image that is at least 750 pixels wide.

  I hope this helps! Please let me know any other questions you have and I’ll be happy to help further. :)
