  I have a free account and in the past, I’ve used several themes that have the “post slider” feature. Normally, I don’t have any problems, but I’m having trouble figuring out how to get my featured posts to appear in the Dyad theme post slider. Someone please help.

  Did you ever hear anything back? I am having the same issue with the Dyad theme. I can’t seem to find a place to email WordPress directly. Did you resolve this?

  Hi!
  I’m using the same theme (Dyad). My work around for this is to tag the posts I want to feature, forget about having a banner image and go to the customizing>featured and write the tag name in the tag box.
  I hope this helps.

  hodgepodge4thesoul – it looks like you added the tag “featured” in your Customizer’s Featured Content panel. You only have one published post with that tag, and that post is correctly being displayed in your slider.

  If you add the “featured” tag to another post, the slider will actually slide; it can’t right now, with just a single post to display. :)

  dalfarone – your slider looks like it’s up and running.

  I can’t seem to find a place to email WordPress directly.

  There are several ways to reach WordPress staff:

  – in the forums, add the modlook tag to the Tags area. More forum tips.
  – email help AT wordpress DOT com
  – you can access live chat when available here:

  I marked this “resolved” last week. I don’t know why I’m all this help today. But thx everyone. I resolved it myself last week.

  @Dalfarone, by simply adding the word “featured” , in the “featured post” section of the customizer, the issue was perfectly resolved.

  hodgepodge4thesoul – glad you’re all set. When you resolve an issue yourself on a thread where there were no replies, it’s always helpful if you add a note to the thread saying so. Thanks!
