    I need help with the Stay template. I don’t see how to make the main slideshow featuring each page on the homepage.

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

    I already assigned “featured images” to each page, and assigned the pages to the “home slider” and I don’t see anything. The slider is not there.

    can I ask how you managed to get the slideshow on your home page? I’m having the same problem. It shows up on all of my other pages that I make, but not the home page. Here’s a link to show you what I’m talking about: http://melissandstephen.wordpress.com/

    Thank you so much in advance! I came on here looking for help for the same problem.

    The Stay theme seems to be a difficult theme for a lot of bloggers to comprehend the workings of. Here’s a link to the detailed theme description:
    http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/stay/
    Scroll down to “Home Page Template”
    See also Live demo site here http://staydemo.wordpress.com/

    You will need to follow the instructions to make the theme to look like the one in the demo. The demo is using the “Home page template” which cycles through select top level pages on your site. Create a page called for example “Home” and then set that page as the static front page for your site and create another page fro example “blog” for your posts to appear on.

    The front page of the blog by default will display your posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. If you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page. To do that create two pages > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

    Note: The theme has a featured page slider and image size is at least 960 wide. Ideal width for the slider is 1200px.
