  Hi!

  I’m using wordpress online and I’m having problem with the Sight theme. It is supposed to ”display up to 30 of your latest sticky posts that have featured images in a prominent slider on the front page.”

  I tried marking as sticky four articles and only one showed up in the post slider. They all had featured images.

  I then tried removing this one article from the post slider and it just stayed there. It is still there. You can look up my site here : https://journalpsychouqam.wordpress.com/

  Thanks for your help,

  The featured images must be the exact dimensions stated here https://wordpress.com/themes/sight/ to display.

  Featured images in the sticky posts slider are 290 in height with a flexible width (maximum width is 640).

  If the featured images are the exact dimensions then type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Also subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond and be patient while waiting.

  Hi @timethief

  They weren’t, thanks for the tip.

  I cropped all of them :

  Décisions morales : le rôle des émotions : 225×290
  Vers un traitement préventif de la démence associée à la maladie de Parkinson : la piste du sommeil : 610×290
  L’instant présent 448×290

  and it’s still not working, but there might be a delay or something. I’ll wait a bit and then tag modlook if it’s not fixed.

  It’s working! 4 hours later.
  Is that usual? Will it happen again?

  Hi there,

  The delay after changing your featured images might be because your site’s cache first had to refresh. Going forward, new posts you add should appear immediately, but let us know if they don’t.
