  The post slider appears on the front page if you set featured images of the size required by the theme and mark them as sticky posts.

  Forever theme description:

  Featuring posts in a slider on your home page is easy. You just need sticky posts with Featured Images. Every sticky post you have (up to 10) that has a Featured Image (at least 888 pixels wide) attached will show up there. Easy! http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/forever/

  Yes, I have done that but it still doesnt work. I have ticked 2 posts to be sticky posts. I used to have 2 other posts as sticky posts, and they worked just find. But as soon as I took them of, and added the new once to stick then it didnt work anymore.

  Tehere must be a featured image set as well as the sticky post designation. Setting a Featured Image The size of the featured image is critical. If you upload a featured image that’s undersized the slider will not appear.

  There is feature picture in all of my posts. The pictures have the same size as the first sticky posts I had. What is the best size for the feature picture for the sticky post?

  Thanks

  I have now amended my feature images to be 888 pixels wide but the sticky post still doesnt work. Could it be the actual theme that is working properly?

  It’s not the theme. I had zero trouble doing this. It’s something you are either doing or not doing.
