  I want to add images to a slider. I have the ‘Forever’ theme and in the preview it shows 3 images in a slider on top. I can’t get my images to post in a slider. I made a new post and uploaded an image as a ‘Featured Image’ and then made sure it was set to ‘sticky’ like the the support page said to do but it still just showing up like a normal post.

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

  You need to consult the theme description and work with the information provided there http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/forever/

  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 887 pixels wide) attached will show up.

  Note that Optimal size for featured images is: width 888px, height maximum 355px.

  If you don’t see the Featured Image module on your Add New or Edit Post page, please make sure you’ve selected Featured Image in your Screen Options. http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options

  To show only your four latest posts (with a Featured Image above each one, of course) in a neat grid on your home page just visit Appearance → Theme Options and click the checkbox there. Thumbnail on 4-column showcase for recent posts. Width 195px, maximum height 124px (cropped if larger).
