You are welcome, and I think you will be able to find one that at least comes close to your example.

These are the only themes themes that have a featured post slider that you can use on a free hosted WordPress.com blog > http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/post-slider/

Thank you very much, I will look into themes with post slider. I'm looking to develop the front page that looks like this http://test.nattywp.com/preview.php?theme=colt

You can make the front page of your site a static front page and then put a carousel into that for images, but if the theme does not have a post slider built in, you cannot add one via CSS. CSS is a styling document used by the browser to style and place existing elements of a web page. It cannot be used to add functionality.

I might suggest looking for a theme you like that has a post slider.

Hello,

Is it possible to create a carousel-based or similar featured or popular blog posts using CSS or other technique for the front page?

Regards,

I can't seem to change the name of the front page from 'Home' to another word in the Twenty Eleven theme. Any clues?

designsimply on "How to justify excerpt text on front page"

designsimply — Tue, 07 May 2013 15:53:43 +0000

The specificity has to match what is in the theme. For example, if you look at the CSS with your browser tools, you will see that "text-align: center;" is setup for the selector ".lay1 > div p" Your rule with just "p" as the selector is less specific. If you match the selector used by the theme, it should work:

.lay1 > div p {
	text-align: justify;
}

thingswemake on "Rogue featured Images have appeared in my Ever After themed blog!"

thingswemake — Tue, 07 May 2013 14:35:28 +0000

Hi all,

I have a blog for my photography called http://clairesuttonimages.com/ using Ever After theme. I love it...well I loved it until something odd happened. I had it set so the front page showed a feature slider of my most favourite posts. All was fine, I had 10 further posts showing, but I made sure they had images below 850 and were not sticky. This made them show as title and tags only which was good.

Suddenly they all started showing featured images (using the first one from each gallery on each post). I have checked and the pics are still under 850 so I don't know why they are showing featured images. I have had to reduce the amount of posts showing to 1 in the interim so the page does not look so 'busy'.

Is there any way of forcing it to NOT show featured images...or ideally to just show the slider on the front page and not any other posts at all? At the moment it won't let me put ZERO posts as an option so 1 is the least I can have.

Thanks is advance!

Oh I think I may have worked it out, is it something like this?

p { text-align: justify !important}

Hi,

Sorry I should have said that I had hidden away the excerpts for now with

triton-lite-excerpt display; none

Is there no way of justifying the excerpt text?

Thank you!

thesacredpath on "How to justify excerpt text on front page"

thesacredpath — Mon, 06 May 2013 02:16:15 +0000

That is the title of the post, not the excerpt. The following will justify the titles on the main page, but I don't think you will like the result.

.home h2.postitle {
text-align: justify !important;
}

misoramenchan — Sun, 05 May 2013 21:26:23 +0000

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew the CSS code so that all the excerpts on the front page (which I have added using the 'excerpt' box in the post dashboard, not the 'read more' function) is justified.

At the moment the text is centered.

I am using the Triton Lite theme.

Many thanks in advance.

Note that changing date stamps on any posts that have been published and indexed by search engines is not recommended. This explains why > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/08/05/avoid-creating-404-pages/

Thank you both! @timethief--thank you so much. I actually didn't realize there was a specific forum for premium themes (I'm really not very web/tech savvy...shock). I will definitely check that out. Thanks again!

I want to change the order of my scrolling featured posts on my front page (not just by date. I want to be able to change it according to each individual post). Is there a way to do this?

concept8llc on "Can the number of posts being displayed on front page be limited?"

concept8llc — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 18:45:11 +0000

Hello, my blog is http://concept8llc.wordpress.com/, and I have the front page set to "Your latest posts," and I have limited the "Blog pages show at most" option to three items. There are three posts that I have made "sticky" posts, and these are the posts with the orange images.

I was under the impression that by making three posts sticky and then by limiting the number of posts displayed on the blog pages that I could in effect keep the three posts that I wanted on the front page, but there are now five posts being displayed! The other two posts have no been made sticky. At this point all I can think of is to change the publish date on every post, but I really do not want to do that.

Is there a way I can force the front page to only show three posts without going to a static page? I don't want to use the static page because I like the way the front page looks and works, for the most part.

Thank you for your help, and let me know if there is any more information that is needed that I haven't included.

I should include a disclaimer that I am fairly new to WordPress. If this should be on another forum, just let me know and I will repost, but this one made the most sense to me. Thanks!

preservationinpink — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 18:10:59 +0000

Hi everyone: for the past few days, the front page of my blog hasn't been displaying properly (though individual posts and subpages display just fine). The widgets are at the bottom of the page, and the previous post title ends up in the sidebar instead. I can't figure it out. Any suggestions? I've tried switching browsers and using different computers already. thanks!

(I use the Vigilance theme.)

On http://www.bikewjw.org, the sidebar for page navigation is on the right, way down the front page. On other pages for the site, it is at the top right! How do I move it up on the front page?
