    I have recently installed the oxygen theme. One problem I have is that I don’t know how to install the featured image slider that would be on the home page.

    My blog is 1fan2allfans.wordpress.com

    I’m also having issues with my mobile site. I would like to have it have the slider as well, and if it can, two columns (don’t know if that is possible.

    Thanks ahead of time!

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

    There are also many threads that explain how the Oxygen theme is designed to operate.

    In Oxygen you can either have a Home page that displays your posts or a static front page ie. a Showcase template. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/#setting-up-a-static-front-page
    Page templates can be set under the “Page Attributes” section on the page editor screen. For more information on Page Attributes:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/

    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. …

    Post thumbnails are 470 pixels wide, unless you make the post Sticky to show off in the featured slider, in which case they’re 750 pixels wide. Keep in mind: if you mark a post as Sticky but the featured image is less than 750 pixels wide, then it won’t display in the slider and will still disappear from the river of posts.

    If you failed to upload and set a featured image of the correct dimensions in each post then until you do upload one into each one the gray box will be there.

    Please be aware that you cannot crop the sticky post thumbnails.

    Sticky post thumbnails are 750 pixels wide in the featured slider
    Regular post thumbnails are 470 pixels wide

    If you don’t see the page attributes module then make sure that you don’t have it hidden in your screen options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/

    I’m also having issues with my mobile site. I would like to have it have the slider as well, and if it can, two columns (don’t know if that is possible.

    Oxygen is a responsive width theme. Responsive width means the layout adapts depending on the size of the device being used to view your site. When responsive width themes are viewed on mobiles sidebars appear below the posts in order to provide as much space as possible for reading.

    When using any responsive width theme we go here > Appearance > Mobile and disable the mobile theme.
