Featured images Post Slider not working on Forever theme

  • Unknown's avatar

    I just changed my theme to Forever and I can’t seem to get the post slider feature working. I originally tried sticky posts in image formats, with featured images, but when that didn’t work, I switched them to the normal format. They still showed up as separate posts instead of a slider. I did exactly what it told me to, which is:

    Featuring posts in a slider on your home page is easy. You just need sticky posts with Featured Images. Every sticky post you have (up to 10) that has a Featured Image (at least 888 pixels wide) attached will show up there. Easy! (http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/forever/)

    What am I doing wrong?

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

    I just tested this on an inactive website. Featured images displayed in the slider, linking to the posts. The two requirements are, as you’ve noted above:

    1. the post is sticky
    2. the post has a featured image with a width of at least 888 pixels.

    Is this the case with the posts having featured images that you wish to display in a slider? They are set as “sticky” in the Publish module, at Visibility?

    Yep. The posts were sticky; I ticked the “Stick this post to the front page” box.

    And the images are the proper size, 888 pixels or greater?

    I’ll tag the thread for Staff attention.

    Hi there,

    So I checked your Sticky Posts and found that there were no Featured Images added to the last two posts. And the first post has a featured image but the width is only 698 px. Please add featured images to your posts that have a width of at least 888 px.

    Let me know if you have any questions with this!

    Actually, I deleted the posts I had published previously for the slider.
