  I am new to wordpress, so I am still figuring out the format. I trying to use the oxygen template for my blog, and I want my page to look like the demo model. I created a new page, set that to showcase view and clicked clicked “apply.” However, the preview still shows this page in default view. No matter what I do, the page won’t leave default view.

  How to I get this page to change to showcase view? I have followed the directions provided, but the page still hasn’t changed. Also, I am a free user. Do you have to be a paying user to utilize the showcase view?

  Thanks!

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

  Hi there,

  You have correctly done the step in setting the showcase view. What you need to do now are the following steps (taken from the documentation page here: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/oxygen/):

  The Showcase Page template offers a featured slider for up to six Sticky Posts. To use the template, create or edit a page, and assign it to the Showcase Page template from the Page Attributes module. If you’d like use the Showcase Page template on your front page, go to Settings → Reading and set the Front page option to Static Page. Select the page you just assigned the Showcase Page template to as your front page and then choose another page to serve as your blog page.

  Featured Images

  To get the most of this theme, setting Featured Images is important.

  @hafizr Thank you for your help! The problem I am having is even if I set the page to showcase, and then click update, it remains in default format. I can’t get the page to go into showcase format.

  Am I doing something wrong?
