  Wait! Did you make the post into a sticky post?

  You can mark a post as sticky by checking the option that says “Stick to the front page” on any post. To access this option, click the status of your post (New Draft in this screenshot) to open the panel with additional options. https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-visibility/

  @azfardbs
  You have set the tag in the Featured Content section of the Customizer as “picture3”.

  However, neither of your posts have that tag. You have to add the exact same tag you set in the Customizer to any and all posts you want to appear in the slider, in other words, you have to set “picture3” as a tag on each of the posts you currently have published.

  Thanks mr kokkieh, it works, but the slideshow1 is on below, I cannot change the slideshow1 to slideshow2 in the slider. Please see link below:

  I mean “I cannot change the slideshow1 to slideshow2 in the slider.” is that when i click on the arrow in the preview mode, it not change from slideshow1 to slideshow2.

  I just checked your site and the slider appears to be working. If I had to guess from your screen shot, I’d say you hadn’t added the tag to that post yet when you replied here.

  Let me know if you need more help with this.
