  Hi
  Im trying to add and change images on the slider on the header. I have followed all the instructions but the images will simply not load!
  I only get one image that works, nothing else shows up so I keep having to post that image or I get nothing. Can anyone help? I have read the answers in the other forums and followed the instructions but it still does not work. thanks

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

  Of the two identical images you have on the slider, one of them is blog post and the other one is a portfolio. They both happen to have same featured image which is why the same image appears twice on the slider.

  To get a different image on the slider, change one of the featured images.

  You can read more about adding other items to the slider in the Featured Content section of Sketch theme support document: https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sketch/

  Try the steps in the support guide and feel free to ask if you have more questions.

  Hi,
  I have removed the blog post and changed the featured images and now nothing is showing up at all. I have tried to add the old image back but nothing shows up in the header.
  Can anyone suggest any tips?
  thanks

  Hi Rachael, you’ve set the word “pink” to be the tag that identifies your featured content, but I just checked all your pages, posts, and portfolio projects, and none of them had the tag “pink.” That’s why nothing is showing up in your slider. Be sure to add the tag “pink” to the posts/pages/projects you’d like to appear in your slider and let me know how it goes!

  Hi,
  In Project tags there is a tag called ‘pink’. In tags there is also a project called ‘pink’. I have also re-named and updated a project title ‘pink’. Still, nothing is showing up in that images slider. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?

  The featured image on your project with the tag “pink” is not large enough for the slider, at 720px wide:

  

  Featured images need to be at least 1092px wide in order to appear in the slider, as it says in the Quick Specs box on the theme info page. Culd you try uploading one that meets that minimum width?

  I have also re-named and updated a project title ‘pink’.

  Project titles aren’t used in the slider, only tags.
