  Hi there,

  You can follow these steps to set up your slider:

  • Navigate to the Featured Content panel of the WordPress.com Customizer.
  • Add a special tag to the Tag name field, for example “featured”.
  • Navigate to the editor for any posts that you want to feature in the slider and tag them with the special tag you set.

  The theme will automatically display any posts that have the special tag in the slider and any featured images will display alongside them.

  Let me know if that helps out or if you have any extra questions!

  I have a question… How do I get the slider on my blog page to update with the most recent posts, instead of keeping older posts rotating? I am using the Broadsheet Theme.

  The site athttp://eldition.wordpress.com/
  is wearing the Affinity theme not Broadsheet.

  Consult this theme description page for that site https://wordpress.com/theme/affinity

  @hollyfanahsteele: The Broadsheet theme won’t display any post without a featured image in the slider. I noticed that some of your newer posts don’t have a featured image set, which is why they’re not displaying.

  I also wanted to make sure you’re aware that as a WordPress.com Business owner you have access to private, prioritised, live chat support via our contact form here:

  https://wordpress.com/help/contact

  If you prefer to seek help on this forum then that’s totally fine too! You can start a new thread here:

  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/themes#postform

  It’s easier for us to keep track of different questions if they’re kept to separate threads and also prevents the original poster from receiving unnecessary email notifications.

  Thanks!
