Sticky posts on oxygen theme

    I am trying to stick a post to the front page of my blog, and it won’t show up. In the past, this has happened because the featured image was too small or not the right dimensions, but I have tried editing the photo 100 different ways and even uploading it with a different photo that has clearer resolution and dimensions that I’m sure work and it STILL won’t appear on my front page, unless I unstick it and have it appear below the larger scrolling menu.

    Any help would be appreciated.

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

    I tested this and ran into the same problem that you did, but not consistently. Like you, I checked to make sure my featured image was at least 750 pixels wide, but it wouldn’t show up. This issue may be caused by the server “caching” the page – even though you’ve made an update, you still see the original version.

    I was able to work around this by “unsticking” (and updating) all of my sticky posts, refreshing the browser, and then “re-sticking” all of the posts that I wanted in the featured slider. (You probably already know that you can have up to six images in the featured slider.)

    This is the quickest way I found to do this:

    1. go into your WP Admin dashboard
    2. click Posts to display your posts
    3. select (checkbox) all the posts that you want to be sticky
    4. in the Bulk Actions dropdown, select Edit
    5. in the Sticky dropdown, select Not Sticky
    6. click the Update button
    7. reload your page
    8. repeat steps 1-5, except this time in the Sticky dropdown, select Sticky
    9. click the Update button
    10. reload your page
