  Hey all!

  I have been trying to get the Untitled Theme slider to work for my site All Wisconsin Athletics for the past few days, and no dice.

  The “featured” tag DOES NOT work. Any help?

  Thanks, any response is appreciated ASAP.

  Untitled theme description http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/untitled/

  The header image on Untitled doesn’t work as on most themes. It’s not designed for a full-width image, it’s designed for a small logo. Check the theme demo: http://untitleddemo.wordpress.com/

  Go to the theme description page I linked to above please and scroll down to
  “To set up Untitled’s Front Page Slider:”
  Navigate to Settings → Reading.
  Scroll down to the section labeled “Featured Content”.
  Enter the name of a tag.
  Click the blue “Save Changes” button at the bottom.
  Create a post with a featured image that’s at least 1024px wide.
  Note: The featured image will look best at these dimensions: 1440px wide, 400px tall.
  Give the post the tag you declared under Settings → Reading → Featured Content.

  Unfortunately, timethief, that is not the case.

  It says it has been moved to customize, but it does not work either. Are you able to try yourself? I am having no luck.

  Hi there – a couple of things I noticed:

  1) I don’t see the tag “featured” (or any tag) under Customize > Featured Content at the moment:

  

  Is it possible you didn’t press “Save” after adding the tag?

  2) Another thing to keep in mind is that since you used “Featured” with a capital “F” your tag in the customizer will need to match.

  3) Some of the featured images on posts you tagged “Featured” are not large enough to be displayed in the slider in this theme.

  For example, this image is only 660px wide:

  

  Slider images must be at least 1024px wide (and looks best at 1440px wide.)

  Let me know how it goes after you check the things I mentioned. Thanks!
