Can't get Slideshow to work on Home Page of Photographer Theme

  • Unknown's avatar

    I really need your help. I just spent hours trying to follow 2 different sets of directions to load a slideshow on my home page using the “Photographer Theme”.

    I want the following 9 photos to represent my work in the slideshow so I created the post as one option to upload image(s). However, I can’t set more than one featured image.

    I also attempted to set the home page as both “home template” (which includes a slideshow) and just as a slideshow page template. I tried reuploading the images to a slideshow page…nothing seems to work.

    I also attempted to go into individual images and select them as a feature image so they will all display on the home page. I set a category to “Slide Show” and designated it as the post that feed the home page. That didn’t work.
    Can you please help?

  • Hi there – each premium theme has its own support forum, where the developers respond directly. Would you mind posting your question in the Photographer forum?

    They’ll be able to get you sorted out.

    Thanks very much!

    Thanks. That’s good to know. I did end up fixing the problem by basically deleting everything I had done (listed above), plus, deleting the original “home page” (which the new theme had flowed in to). I created a brand new home page and then set it to a “Slideshow Page” (not a “Home Page”). The Slide Show page allowed me to add the photos I wanted and not have to post anything. I made sure the photos where all sized for web and all the exact same size so the slide show looked good.

  • Glad you figured it out, thanks for letting me know!
