  Having trouble getting the home slider to display the pages I want it to. I have set a featured image for each of the pages, but only a few of the pages will show up in the home slider. I have set 4 different pages on the home slider, and it only shows 2. What am I missing?

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

  Home Page Template
  To set up Stay’s Home page template and Slider:

  Create a new page named “Home” (or a different name of your choice) and assign it the Home template under Page Attributes.
  Go to Settings → Reading in your dashboard and select your new “Home” page as the static front page. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save Changes.
  If you previously had a header image on your site’s home page, remove the header image: featured images and header images will interfere with the Slider. To remove the header image navigate to Appearance → Header and click Remove Header Image. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save Changes.
  Set Featured Images for all of the pages you would like to appear in the Slider. To do this, navigate to the edit screen for each page, go to the Featured Image module on the right of the screen, and add a Featured Image for the page. Featured Images need to be at least 960px wide to appear in the slider. Click Update to save changes.
  Navigate to the Home Slider section of your Customizer. Select up to 6 pages with attached Featured Images of at least 960 px in width. Click Save.
  Content on the home page will be full-width, between the Slider and Home Widget areas.
  The three optional Home Widget areas can be set up in Appearance → Widgets.

  I have done every single one of these steps. I get the home slider to appear but it only shows 2 of my pages instead of all 4 I have set.

  I see two pages missing from your slider – both of their featured images are too small and don’t meet the minimum 960px width to go into the slider:

  1. CEREC Same Day Crowns
  https://indynorthviewdental.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/cerec.jpg – 720px wide

  2. In-Office Technology
  https://indynorthviewdental.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/prod_1689.jpg – 799px wide

  Once you upload featured images that are at least 960px wide for those posts, they should go into the slider. Let me know how it goes.
