The width of the images for the featured slider is 750px. Could you make sure the width of those featured images is at least 750px?

I've tried everything I can in my test site and can't get it to work for more than two posts either.

From what I gather, the posts have to have a featured image set or they will not appear in the slider.

Because they don't show up in the showcase area, they'd then be invisible.

I should go to bed. They ARE set as standard posts. What I'm not seeing is them being set as sticky posts. Check and make sure they are sticky posts.

Change those to "default" post types and make sure they are set as sticky posts and see if that fixes the issue. I don't think posts with a "status" post format will show up in the post slider.

Some others I've tried do not work either, but these more recent ones are those which I'd like to have at the top of the page.

I've set up the 'showcase' template as our homepage in which sticky posts appear as a slideshow at the top of the homepage. For some reason, only certain posts will work with this feature, whereas others do not appear at all, even when set to be the only sticky post on the website. For now, I have just set our most recent post to appear in the showcase area alone (which, obviously, works correctly). More than one post in the showcase area functions fine as well, but, again, the same posts are always omitted. Any help or information on why this is happening would be very much appreciated.
