    I am trying to get the slider to work, but cannot seem to have anything show up at all where it should go on the homepage. I have watched the video and done everything it said to do, but am not seeing anything when I bring up the viewed home page.

    I created three posts with the images (all of which are in my media library) I wanted and for each post. I made sure to “select featured image” before saving within each post. It shows as on each post that the image for that post is set as the featured image when I look at the post in the WP editor.

    I then went to the Featured Slider editor and changed the number of slides to “3”, and put in my three post identifiers and saved that. I have not changed any of the dimensions or anything in the stylesheet associated with the slider and it has not come up at all. I have not added any child themes either.

    I don’t see any evidence that a slider would even be on the page when I bring up the home page. Here is my slider information from the stylesheet:

    .featured {
    border-right:1px solid #ccc;
    border-left:1px solid #ccc;
    border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;
    background-color: #6b6b6b;
    height:313px;
    width:976px;
    position:relative;
    overflow:hidden;
    }
    .featured img {
    max-width:100%;
    height:auto;
    margin: 0 auto;
    display: block;
    }
    .featured .img-effect {
    display: block;
    height:313px;
    width:976px;
    overflow:hidden;
    position:absolute;
    top:0;
    left:0;
    background:url(images/featured-img-effect.png);
    z-index:10;
    }
    .featured-text {
    padding:16px 10px 0;
    }
    .featured-text span {
    font-size:15px;
    font-weight:bold;
    }
    .featured-text a.readmore {
    display: inline;
    padding: 0;
    }

    /* Controllers */
    #controllers {
    padding-top: 7px;
    text-align:center;
    }
    #controllers a {
    background-color: #B7B7B7;
    display: inline-block;
    height: 12px;
    margin: 0 3px;
    overflow: hidden;
    text-indent: 999999px;
    width: 12px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 6px;
    -moz-border-radius: 6px;
    border-radius: 6px;
    }
    #controllers a:hover, #controllers a.active {
    background-color:#000;
    }

    Any ideas?

    In your WordPress Dashboard. Go to Settings -> Reading.

    Then in Front page displays option select *A static page (select below) and form the Front Page choose your page index.

    This will work fine.

    Thank you so much. Got it working! Hallelujah!
    Is there a simple way to get rid of the dots that go over the slider?

    This is really simple. In your WordPress Dashboard. Go to Appearance -> Featured Slider.

    Then click on “Slider Effect Options”. From there check the box to Disable Slider Background Effect.

    Excellent! Thank you! You have been a great help. This theme was very nice to work with otherwise.
