Featured Posts on homepage
The main slider on the homepage will use your top five posts (by views) if you have the top10 plugin installed otherwise it will use your 5 most recent as a fallback.
Hi! I love your theme :)
I’m only a baby when it comes to blogging and wordpress etc, so bear with my ignorance please.
I’ve activated your theme to my new site erica-reyes-smith.com
(excuse content, just messing around at moment)
and I’ve put in a couple posts and some test posts to see how they display. after I set the feature image on my ‘cats are stupid’ post it seams that the featured posts section has disappeared from the home page. it worked previously to that, so I’m not sure where I went wrong.
Advice? as I really liked the featured posts section, I thought it was quite unique. I have top-10 plugin activated; would it have to do with the posts not having views yet?
Any help appreciated.
Hi
yeah, when you first activate the top10 plugin it doesn’t have any data in it, so the frontage and post page slide things don’t show;
the easiest way to fix it is just to click on some posts (I did that for you, so you’ll see that it works now :)
Hopefully I can get a bug fix release out to address this issue!
Glad you like the theme (and thanks for the first question in my FAQ :)
Hi. Great theme! Can’t seem to get my featured pictures to come out clearly on my posts. What is the preferred picture resolution/pixel dimensions to allow the pictures to appear clearly?
Glad you like it :)
All the featured images are responsive, so will fill to fit the width of the browser;
The bigger the better, I’d probably go with 1100 or 1200px wide by whatever height you feel comfortable with – that way they will look crisp at most resolutions :D
