column control in Forever Theme
-
I want to set the front page as a one column page. I understand that Forever supports both one and two column pages, but I can’t see how to change from two column to one.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
The blog linked to your username is self-hosted. If you’re talking about a wordpress.com blog, we need its URL.

I have a self-hosted blog, yearoflivingvirtuously.com, which has the username admin.
I have two blogs on wordpress.com, gitalonglittlebloggies.wordpress.com and bluegatestudio.wordpress.com, that have the username treejordan. http://www.gitalongilbloggies.wordpress.ciom is marked as private right now but both are wordpress.com blogs (rather than wordpress.org.)Also, I didn’t get your comment emailed to me though I had “notify me of followup posts via e-mail” enabled. I wonder what is going on?
Also, I have been trying to change the administrative email from (email visible only to moderators and staff) to (email visible only to moderators and staff). The dashboard shows that the change is pending, but it’s been over 14 hours and I still haven’t gotten a confirmation email.
Lots of questions, I know, but perhaps these are all linked issues?

It sounds like your email provider is caching wordpress.COM emails in its spam filter. You need to check the spam filter at your email provider and see if they aren’t in there.
Forever lets you set static pages that you create to full-width, no sidebar from the page template pulldown in the attributes module in the page editor (it is called the “guestbook” template in this theme). On post related pages (single post, main page, archives, tags and categories pages) it will show the sidebar.
The only way to remove the sidebar from post related pages would be to do it through CSS with the Custom Design Upgrade.

That first sentence should read: It sounds like your email provider is catching wordpress.COM emails in its spam filter.

Thank you, thank you! The junk filter WAS catching the email change… I don’t know why I didn’t think of that. Now it’s working (and so I should get followups to this string.)
Since my first question about one and two column, I have tried a different tactic, and set up the site to mimic the look of the example of Forever on http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/forever/
with a slider with sticky posts and featured images, and the grid below of four most-recent posts. Everything was working splendidly and then suddenly the site came up without the slider or grid. I just don’t know what happened.I’ve been making so many changes, and I don’t know just when things when awry. At one point, the menu bar listed two “home” pages. I had a page that I made early on named home, and I renamed it to Blue Gate Studio. The trouble may have started then, but I’m not sure. Do you have any ideas?

The URL you referenced comes up as not registered. Make sure there isn’t a typo in it (like the “i” in .com, which I caught. I can’t get to your site and I need to be able to see it.
I would suggest creating a custom menu (if you haven’t already) for your site and that way you are in complete control of what shows up, and where, in the top navigation.
On the slider, as long as you have sticky posts and those sticky posts have “featured images” set then the slider should appear and work.

Here is the URL of the site I am working on.
http://bluegatestudio.wordpress.com/the slider was working and then it quit working. since I first posted, I have been searching the forums and someone said the slider wouldn’t work unless the width of the image was at least 887. I had set images to 880. so I went back and changed them to 890 and then the slider started working again. I don’t know why it worked for awhile with all images set to 880 and then quit, but that seemed to fix it.
Thanks so much for your help. -
