Sketch theme featured page not working
-
I’m working on this website: http://box2334.temp.domains/~margasx7/
I’ve set up the featured page as described in the sketch theme’s page, but it’s not showing as it should.
For some reason, the featured area only shows if I create a portfolio page and a normal page with the featured tag. But if I remove any of the two, the featured area disappears! Also, when you click on either project, they link you back to the homepage, and not to either of it’s pages.
Can anyone help me figure this out?Thank you!

Hello there,
I’ve set up the featured page as described in the sketch theme’s page, but it’s not showing as it should.
For some reason, the featured area only shows if I create a portfolio page and a normal page with the featured tag.To get the site to be like the demo, the assigned front page would need to have the portfolio page template.
Please see how to do this here: https://wordpress.com/theme/sketch/
I hope this helps.

What are the items you are trying to add to your homepage slider on http://box2334.temp.domains/~margasx7/ specifically? Can you provide links to the individual items so we can take a closer look?
It sounds like you are able to add two items in the slider, but are removing one? Is it your intent to display only one item in the slider?
Thanks for the additional info!

Yes, I can add two items – a normal page and a portfolio page, but if I remove any of the two, the slider stops working. I know it can work with only one item, as I’ve done it in wordpress.com, at https://margaridaroxo.wordpress.com/
I just cant get it to work here at http://box2334.temp.domains/~margasx7/
The two items I’ve been adding are:Right now the normal page (2nd link) is the only one with the featured tag, which is the only one I’d like to include in the featured slider.

Hello there,
Many thanks for that clarification.
Just to check, what is the permalink structure of the site? The way that /?page_id=105 looks is interesting.
Have you tried changing this to /posts/ to see if this makes the slider works?
Many thanks.

Hi there,
I need you to change your site’s permalink structure from “plain” to any other option and see if this fixes the issue.
To change the permalink structure go to your Dashboard > Settings > Permalink Settings.

@margaridaroxo – at this point we’re limited to what we can continue helping with since your site is not hosted with us.
I do notice that your images are broken on your site – I’m not sure if that’s due to your temporary URL at Bluehost or not, but I would reach out to them to see what the issue might be.
Also, did you install the theme by uploading the theme version from WordPress.org or did you find it elsewhere? The version of the theme on WordPress.com is slightly different than the one for self-hosted websites, so make sure you’re using the version that you can download from WordPress.com (link should prompt a download of the theme .zip file).
If you still have trouble with those permalinks and page setup, please reach out to the WordPress community for guidance:
