  Hello, please help me. I cannot edit my hero slide options. I purchased the “sound check” theme and I want a solid background image for my header instead of a slide show. How do I just get a simple image to stay in place?

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

  Hi Lindsey,

  Have you checked out the Soundcheck theme support guide?

  https://wordpress.com/themes/soundcheck/support/

  It states this about the Hero Slide area:

  The Hero Slides area is the large image carousel above the primary navigation at the top of each page. At it’s most basic level, here is how to create a “Slide”, as done in the theme demo:

  1) Create/Edit a Post and give it a title.
  2) Set a Featured Image. This image will be used as the large, full width image as seen in the demo.
  3) Add the slide to a special slides category (e.g. “Hero Slides”).
  4) Publish/Update the post.

  Setting the Hero Slide Category
  Now that you have at least one slide created, we can set Hero Slide category via the Appearance > Theme Options > Hero Slides. Here, we will want to set the “Category” option to use the “Hero Slides” category from the dropdown list. By doing this, we are telling the theme to use the posts in the “Hero Slides” category as the themes “Slides”.

  So if you want it to be just one solid image, do as instructed above. Then create a category that you will not use. Set it to that and you should be set!

  Let me know if you have any questions with this! Also note that since you purchased a Premium Theme you can receive direct support from the theme authors here:
