I’m using Triton Lite and no matter what I do it won’t show my sticky posts or featured images in the Post Slider feature. The images are at least x950 in width and x250 in height. What can I do to get the slider at the top of the page?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Featured Post Slider
The theme has a dynamic featured post area (shown just below the site title on the home page) which is a snap to use: just add big featured images—at least 950 pixels in width and 270 pixels in height—to your Sticky Posts and you are good to go.

Thanks for copying and pasting that… but I already read it, that’s why I resorted to asking if anyone else can help. As I mentioned already, I’ve tried everything – used really large images, attached them as featured images, made the post a sticky post, you name it.

If anyone knows why this might be happening and has their own advice, please help.

Hi Meredith, I’m having the exact same problem with mine and I am also using Triton Lite. I’ve selected sticky and there’s no way I can get the slider to work with multiple posts. I can’t be much help but thought I’d let you know you’re not the only one !

1. Did you presize the featured images in the featured posts so they were the correct size before you uploaded them? Teatured image be at least 950 pixels in width and 270 pixels in height.

2. Did you set each image in each featured post using this guide?

If you don’t see the Featured Image module on your Add New or Edit Post page, please make sure you’ve selected Featured Image in your Screen Options. http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options

3.. Did you set each featured post to be a sticky post? http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

P.S. This is timethief logged in under my other username account and I did put this theme up on my test blog prior to posting the first time. It worked for me.

I’m having the same problem.

Just followed the three steps, which puts the ‘sticky’ posts at the top of all my posts.

I can’t access the post slider option from my ‘appearance’ menu.
Presumably, this is where I’d place the ‘sticky’ posts into the header.

Any ideas?

There’s no “slider option” in Appearance. You don’t “place sticky posts into the header”, they show up in the slider just by being marked as stickies.
Provided their featured image is wide enough. You didn’t pay enough attention to step 1. Featured image needs to be at least 950px wide, yours is only 759px.
