If your front is set to display a static page and another page is set as your posts page, the carousel will appear on that page.

The above did not work on my blog! Please check my settings here: My link

My front page did not show the "About" page but the posts page. I want the carousel to show in my "About" page. Please help.

I would like to add to the conversation by asking-

My post title is very long and is expanding the box. Anyway to set custom captions instead of post titles ?

If your front is set to display your latest posts, the carousel will appear on your front. If your front is set to display a static page and another page is set as your posts page, the carousel will appear on that page.

b) Let's clear up the terminology: In WP lingo, the whole strip of header tabs is your top nav menu. Each tab is a menu item. What your "Photography" tab linked to is a category or archive page, i.e. a dynamic page. A page such as your "About" is a static page.
So: The default top nav menu of a theme automatically displays links to all your published (parent) static pages, in some themes with dropdowns to child pages, if you have created any. A custom top nav menu (created, arranged and rearranged manually) can display links to whatever you wish (static pages, dynamic pages, single posts, and even external links), with dropdowns to whatever you wish.

You must make your posts sticky posts and assign a featured image of the correct size to them for the carousel to work. The large featured image size is 593 wide by 261 high.

All you have to do to activate is have a sticky post with a featured image. Once you have one, the featured post area will appear. If you have more than 5, navigation arrows will appear on the left and right. Your visitors can then click through to see all the posts you’ve featured. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/itheme2/

Haven't checked yet and may not be smart enough to figure a way to suppress the featured image within the post, assuming it's even possible. What I'd love to have is the ability to lay out the post exactly the way I want it. Then designate an image as the image to be featured in the carousel -- without that action changing the appearance of the post at all. (After all, if I wanted an image to run full width across the top of the post, I'd have already laid it out that way.) That's sort of how The Morning After works. The designated image will appear on the front page as part of the "Latest Post," or as a thumbnail in a front page "Featured Post," but the original layout of the post does not change at all.

But that's the beauty of WordPress. Every theme is different. Thanks for the input, everyone.

Suggest it to Support once they are back after the 29th.

If you have the Custom Design upgrade, I don't wonder if there isn't a way to suppress the display of the featured image in the post itself. Since I am not well-versed in CSS, I cannot give you any concrete advice on this.

Otherwise, it would mean not using the same photo in the body of your post. Looking at the theme designer's demo site, the featured image is the only image in the post.

I have never used Inuit, but yes, a way to turn off the duplication sounds like what iTheme2 might need.

I understand how the slider works. That's not my question. My question is, is the duplication of images in a post (as I described above) the way the theme is supposed to work? I'm assuming it is and that if you plan to feature an image, then don't use it anywhere else in the post. But, is it also intentional that a featured image will not display a caption and will not work as a link to a larger image?
