    Hi.

    I try to enable de Slider in the home page with last blog posts as front.

    I’ve enabled the slider in the Theme Options and set Sticky posts to see them.

    I’ve changed my functions.php so now my slider-thumb is set at 970×256, as this is the size of my thumbnails of my posts from former themes.

    I used the AJAX Rebuild Thumbnails to rebuild to the new sizes, even when the theme does not have the option “hard crop” enabled.

    After all this, my site still does not show the slider in the home page. I’ve searched the forums but this is everything I think I could try before asking for my current case.

    Hi Txema,

    Before tweaking any code in the function.php or resizing thumbs try to make the silder work first. You can try to follow the step-by-step tutorial I wrote to do so:

    Hi Alexander.

    In my research I already found and followed your tutorial before posting this message. I followed your tutorial step by step but the slider still doesn’t show.

    At this moment I have two recent posts marked as sticky, with an image for the slider and the option enabled in the Theme Options, they don’t show in the home page loop but they don’t show the slider either.

    Assuming that I followed the tutorial correctly, what else could I try?

    If you follow the tutorial step-by-step it will make the slider work, except you have tweaked something already that prevent this. Try to:

    1) Build any code back
    2) Remove all widgets
    3) Disable all plugins

    In case this is not helping than:

    4) Reinstall the theme by the dashboard

    Hi Alexander.

    Here is what I did. I’m using a Child Theme so I don’t touch anything that could broke the code. However, Pinboard doesn’t work well with Jetpack Carousel so I needed to fix some code in functions.php related to pinboard_gallery_shortcode().

    This seems to be the problem with the slider, which I don’t quite understand because this code seems not to be related to the slider in any way.

    However, I restored the original functions.php and commented line 1765:

    add_filter( ‘post_gallery’, ‘pinboard_gallery_shortcode’, 10, 2 );

    I would like to comment it in the functions.php in the child theme, or just insert

    remove_filter( ‘post_gallery’, ‘pinboard_gallery_shortcode’);

    But this solutions look like don’t really work – the jetpack gallery does not work-.

    If you know how to make this work solely in the child theme code, please tell me.

    If you don’t, I’d like to thank you for your help and you can mark this as solved and closed.

    Cheers.
