    although we set the front page of our site to use the showcase page template on the oxygen theme, the content still appears in regular blog format. we can’t get the featured post slider at the top to work, all content just posts directly under “recent posts”

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

    Hi there,

    I’m assuming that you are wanting the slider to be on the home page. If so, it looks like you’re missing a few steps which are required in order to get the slider to work on your site.

    This is from the Oxygen theme home page:

    Showcase page template

    When you first activate Oxygen, you’ll see your posts in a traditional blog format but if you’d like to showcase your content in an online magazine-like fashion, then you can use the Showcase Page template.

    The Showcase Page template offers a featured slider for up to six Sticky Posts. To use the template, create or edit a page, and assign it to the Showcase Page template from the Page Attributes module. If you’d like use the Showcase Page template on your front page, go to Settings → Reading and set the Front page option to Static Page. Select the page you just assigned the Showcase Page template to as your front page and then choose another page to serve as your blog page.

    The bit I bolded looks like what you need to still complete in order to get things running. Let me know if you have any questions! :)
