oxygen theme – post slider not working?
-
Hey everyone! So I’ve installed the Oxygen theme, made sure my feature images were at least 750 pixels wide, checked the “sticky” box for my posts, but so far I still haven’t figured out how to get the post slider to show up on the front page. Is it because I only have two posts so far?
Thanks for helping me out on this!

Please consult the detailed theme description here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/oxygen/ There are also many threads that explain how the Oxygen theme is designed to operate.
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/tags/oxygenIn Oxygen you can either have a Home page that displays your posts or a static front page ie. a Showcase template. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/#setting-up-a-static-front-page
Page templates can be set under the “Page Attributes” section on the page editor screen. For more information on Page Attributes:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/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. …Post thumbnails are 470 pixels wide, unless you make the post Sticky to show off in the featured slider, in which case they’re 750 pixels wide. Keep in mind: if you mark a post as Sticky but the featured image is less than 750 pixels wide, then it won’t display in the slider and will still disappear from the river of posts.
Please be aware that you cannot crop the sticky post thumbnails.
Sticky post thumbnails are 750 pixels wide in the featured slider
Regular post thumbnails are 470 pixels wide

Hi timethief,
I’m already well aware of everything you’ve posted – this is why I resorted to posting in the forum, since I had already checked everything you mentioned and I have no idea really where the problem might originate from.
Thanks anyway, and thanks in advance if anyone else has any insight!
