The blog I need help with is futbolpulse.com.

thank you
I had a look at the ascetica theme demo. I would like to know how to have a featured image with this direct slideshow effect.
Is there a link to how to inseart a "featured image show2 or "featured slider" that you can direct me to?

tnx

tnx

I would like to know how to insert the sliding pictures/a gallery for each page like the one with ducks pics and city sky that I can see on the home page on ascetica demo - can I use more than 2 pics? 4 to 10? I want to have pics to scroll/slide like that on each page and a text underneath - all I could find is a gallery option but it is not the same effect - what option/effect/support topic is that?
Thnx

I've checked all the screen options and they are fine, how do I make the sticky posts show up in my showcase page?

In Oxygen you can either have a Home page that displays your posts or a static front page ie. a Showcase template. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/#setting-up-a-static-front-page

Showcase page template
When you first activate Oxygen, you’ll see your posts in a traditional blog format but if you’d like to showcase your content in an online magazine-like fashion, then you can use the Showcase Page template. ...

Sticky post thumbnails are 750 pixels wide in the featured slider
Regular post thumbnails are 450 pixels wide

Here are my steps to replicate:
I have a page set up to be a showcase page. I then went Settings > Reading and set the static page to be that same page.

Here are my steps when trying to post:
1.) Add new post
2.) Edit post
3.) Add media, select file, select "use as featured image", insert image in post, go to visibility and "stick this post to the front page".
4.) Publish

Thanks - Any help is appreciated!

Anyway, re the Selecta FP slider:
- it doesn't require images;
- the images it can display are regularly inserted images, not featured images;
- it's optional (activated in Appearance > Theme Options);
- it shows up on your main posts page: it won't show up on your blog front if you've set a static page as your front.

PS Please correct your username link in Users > Personal Settings: scroll down to Account Details, paste current blog URL in the Website field, click Save Changes.

I have created two posts in an effort to get the featured posts slider to appear -- both are image posts, both are set to "sticky," and both have the photo used set to "featured image."

Still no featured slider, though.

Sorry for all the questions :/

Fresh & Clean can display an optional featured slider on the front page that highlights your Sticky Posts that have a Featured Image at least 840 pixels wide. read the rest here . Fresh & Clean theme description

What's the total number of posts you have published in the blog?

I've looked at the description and and turned on the slider in the theme options -- and I've posted two "test" sticky posts.

When enabled, it will display your four latest posts in a nice row of rounded boxes just above the main content on the front page (and below the featured posts slider, if you’ve turned that on as well).

Selecta theme description

Add a touch of interactivity with your blog while showing off your amazing videos and images by showcasing your Sticky Posts with the featured posts slider. Turn it on in Appearance → Theme Options. After you enable the slider, it will appear at the top of your front page once you mark at least two posts as sticky. If you have just one sticky post, that post will stand on its own at the top of the page.

I created several "test" posts just to see what these features would look like, but nothing is showing up -- not just the posts, but the space where they would be shown on my homepage. Same with the latest posts.

In addition, the posts aren't even showing up on my blog page.

Erm...help?

Thank you so so much for your help!

.featured-posts div.featured-post {
	width: 970px !important;
}
.featured-posts div.featured-post-content {
	margin: 0px 40px;
}

And this will adjust the spacing for the items inside the feature slider so they are horizontal:

.feature-slider {
    width: 100% !important;
    padding-top: 0px !important;
}
.feature-slider ul {
    margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px !important;
}
.feature-slider li {
    float: left;
}
.feature-slider-entry-info {
    float: left;
    margin-left: 10px;
}

Also, would you please not hide the #colophon area with CSS? It's against the Terms of Service here.

I am no CSS expert, but having access to your site will be important for the several who might be able to help you.

But I think in order to do what you are asking about would require access to php or the basic functions of your theme. CSS can change only the appearance. But wait and see what someone with more experience says…
