  I have recently uploaded the Oxygen theme, in which the live Demo showed a slide show of featured images. How do I set that up for my site?

  Oxygen Theme Description http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/oxygen/ Live demo site http://oxygendemo.wordpress.com/

  In Oxygen you can either have a Home page that displays your posts or a static front page ie. a Showcase template.

  Showcase page template
  When you first activate Oxygen, you’ll see your posts in a traditional blog format but if you’d like to showcase your content in an online magazine-like fashion, then you can use the Showcase Page template. …

  Sticky post thumbnails are 750 pixels wide in the featured slider
  Regular post thumbnails are 450 pixels wide

  “I can’t find the ‘Page Attributes’ module for my ‘Oxygen’ theme”

  To create a showcase template, you need to go to Pages > Add New. That’s the dashboard screen that should be displaying the Page Attributes module. If it isn’t, you click Screen Options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ while on that screen (the page editor screen): and include all the Pages and Posts modules. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules each dashboard screen has different screen options.

  I have the problem that the featured images appear one above the other and not in a Slider. How can it be?

  timethief, I started a blog site, then converted it to static front page following the directions. I published two posts with thumbnail pictures. The slideshow is not working.

  Also, the page order across the top is out of sequence; how do I order it?

  I am also experiencing the same problem. I just switched my theme to the Oxygen template, hoping for the “featured image slideshow” to be active on my blog. How do I activate it?
