  Hey all my slider for my site is not showing my featured blogs, any ideas why this is?

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

  Yes. Whenever people have this issue it comes down to consulting the detailed theme description page https://wordpress.com/themes/dyad/ and determining what the exact dimensions are for a post’s featured image and then following through and setting the featured image of the correct size https://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image

  Dyad displays words and images in perfect balance: a post’s featured image and text excerpt get equal billing on the main blog page, while single posts and pages size and position images dynamically, depending on the screen size.

  Featured Images
  Dyad showcases Featured Images throughout. The optimal featured-image size 1800px wide by 1280px high. The theme then crops the images to different sizes, depending on the page they’re on and the screen size. Read the rest at https://wordpress.com/themes/dyad/

  Hmm okay, sorry I was meaning on my home page, I believe there is supposed to be a slider function that shows the most recent blog posts when they are tagged with the tag #featured. yet none of mine are showing up. So when people first arrive on the website they see changing current news (if that makes sense) Thanks though

  Hi there!

  It looks like you’ve changed your theme several times and are now using Edin. Edin does not have a featured post slider.

  If you would like to switch back to a theme with a slider and need help setting it up, just let me know!
