    Dear Support Team,

    I am Kama. I am finding difficulties in certain area when trying to customize my blog appearance. Since I am new to blogging world, I therefore been watching video tutorials in youtube to give me the visual walkthrough on how to create a nice look on the blog. I have chosen Oxygen theme and was trying to make a slider but there’s just no way I could find a way to do exactly as shown in tutorials. There were this location where we can manage which post to highlight and decide which ones to be on the slider. I have gone through all the vids on youtube also some web that provides tips for this matter. Have got any idea why can’t I make this slider possible?

    Thank you for your assistance. I am looking forward for your reply.

    Regard
    Kama.

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

    Oxygen Theme Description http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/oxygen Live demo site http://oxygendemo.wordpress.com/

    In 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

    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.

    If you failed to upload and set a featured image in each post and until you do upload one into each one the gray box will be there.

    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

    If you don’t see the page attributes module then make sure that you don’t have it hidden in your screen options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/

    Hello! I think I have read everything on WP about setting up this slider, to no avail. Topics are marked as resovled, but no resolution results are published. IOt seems that every time this topic of ‘Oxygen slider’ comes up, TimeThief posts the exact same advice on ‘setting up a static front page’ but there is nothing actually on HOW TO activate THE SHOWCASE TEMPLATE. What I am missing here? I would dearly love someone to direct me to an answer to setting up the slider on my front page.
    ThankYOU!
