  Hi， is there anyone could help me with this edin theme?
  1, I’d like to add tag line under my site title? is there anyway to do that?
  2, I’d like to set my front page picture to be a slideshow. Now only can show 1 fixed picture.
  Thanks in advance.

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

  1 – Edin doesn’t display the tagline by default, but it can be displayed by adding some custom CSS:

  .site-description {
   display: inherit;
  }

  2 – Edin doesn’t come with a slider built into the theme, but you could add a slideshow using the gallery method, as explained here:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/images/gallery/

  Slideshows added using that method can be styled with CSS in some ways, if you’d like to tweak the look and feel a bit.

  Let me know if you need further help!

  If you need a particular style of slider I think you’ll need to find a theme that has that type of slider built in. You can have a look through the options here to find one you like:

  Thanks Kathryn
  I have been working on this theme, is there anyway to do it without swapping to another theme? maybe someone can help me with that.

  I’m afraid there isn’t, because Edin doesn’t come with a slider option and it’s not something that can be added. The best workaround I can think of is using a slideshow, as I mentioned earlier.

  While it’s possible to make certain tweaks to the slideshow styles, it’s not possible to make it full-width. Slideshow image widths are set directly with a query string (?w=410) on the image tags in the HTML itself. For example:

  <img align="middle" src="https://kathrynwp.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/casey-test.jpg<strong>?w=410</strong>" title="casey-test" alt="">

  I don’t think it’s possible to override that width value with CSS.
