Oxygen Featured Slider display posts AND pages
-
Hi all,
I have been wondering for a while and perusing the forum for a way to make the oxygen slider link to pages, not just posts.There were a few suggestions to change the slider to a different one completely, but being the beginner that I am at WP, I decided there must be an easier route…
and there is!!
It is a simple fix that is a bit awkward, but if you like the Oxygen slider, it should work for you.
1. Go to plugins.
2. Click “install new” and search “redirect”
3. Install and activate the “Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin”
4. Follow the instructions (in the posts that the slider links to, redirect to your permanent pages so that when you click on the featured slider it will go straight to your page, not your post).You’ll have to do a bit of playing around with the images and it will be a little clunky because technically you have a blank post, but it should work until Oxygen (if they do— please do!) makes it possible to link to pages, not just posts in the featured content slider.
Hope this works for you all

Hello,
This is the WordPress.COM support forum.There is no FTP access to our free hosted WordPress.com blogs. Also note that there is no upgrade you can purchase that allows FTP access and the ability to install themes or plugins.
Only those with WordPress.org installs have FTP access and can install their own themes, third party themes and plugins. They are running a different version of the Oxygen theme than the one adapted to run on WordPress.Com software. Please read this comparison http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

Sorry! As I mentioned, I’m really new to wordpress and don’t quite understand the structure. Maybe I can re-post this somewhere will it will be more helpful? Do you have a suggestion?
I just hoped that it might be helpful for other beginners who aren’t able to code easily.
Thanks for the clarification.

This post belongs in the WordPress.org support forums not here where it will only cause confusion. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.org bloggers.
