  You cannot insert a post slider into any theme here at WordPress.COM that is not deigned to have one. So do be clear on that.

  Here are the current 75 themes that do have post sliders https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/post-slider/

  Here are the 24 free themes with post sliders https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/post-slider/?sort=free

  I am trying to set up The SKETCH theme for my site.
  Can not figure out how to get the slider to actually function. Only instruction I found says to create tags on the portfolio page template.
  Nothing seem to happen

  @ alexiazikos,

  From the Pictorico theme support page,

  To set up Pictorico’s post slider:

  1. Navigate to Appearance → Customize → Featured Content.
  2. Enter the name of a tag.
  3. Click the blue Save button at the bottom.
  4. Create a post with a featured image that’s at least 1180px wide.
  5. Give the post the tag you declared under Appearance → Customize → Featured Content.

  @ textileheart,

  From the Sketch theme support page,

  A slider for your featured content appears on the Portfolio page template.

  To set up Sketch‘s Featured Content area:

  1. Navigate to Appearance → Customize → Featured Content.
  2. Enter the name of a tag.
  3. Click the blue “Save” button at the bottom.
  4. Create a post, page, or portfolio item with a Featured Image.
  5. Give the post the tag you declared under Appearance → Customize → Featured Content.

  The Featured Content slider holds a maximum of te

  n items.

  From the Quick Specs section of the Sketch theme support page:

  Images for Featured Content should be at least 1092 in width.
