And if I can make a suggestion, it would be better that the images of the slider (and the slider at the same time) keep always the same height.

I too would support featured Pages as well as featured posts.

@Daniel: Hi, is there a reason that your solution above of replacing:
set( ‘ignore_sticky_posts’, 1 ); ?>
with
set( ‘post__not_in’, get_option( ‘sticky_posts’ ) ); ?>
inside the function esplanade_ignore_sticky_posts() will not go into the official theme code? This first one has never worked for me (even not the old Esplanade version 1.0), the second does work.

I agree – it never worked for me, too. I would recommend to use the suggested esplanade_ignore_sticky_posts() overwrite in the official release, too!

I also have a question – is it designed to show the slideshow with sticky posts only the default home page is set to the LATEST POST option? It does not apply when I select a STATIC PAGE option.

… otherwise – GREAT THEME! very clean, easy to use, a lot of options provided so I don’t need to go and make a lot of changes in the actual php files. THANK YOU!

I agree with all the others —> great theme

But I would also welcome a function to use pages for the slider and make the slider visible on a static page.
Do you have a hint for me to ‘hack’ this for myself? maybe slider.php?

thank you for your work!

I can’t get slider displayed on a front page that is a static page, not the posts page. How can I get this slider on a front page in both WP options: static home page or posts home page?

To add the slider on a static home_page, you can insert line 3-5 from index.php on the 3rd line of page.php. Then change the is_home() function to is_front_page()

Hi stefanoneri, I also noticed that and am still figuring out why… (I’m Dutch, so my English isn’t perfect too 😉 )

Hi Jos, change line 573 in function.php is_home->is_front_page, to define flexslider class. Ciao

Thanks! Now I only have to figure out how I define this change in my child theme, because I don’t want to edit the original theme files…

Great theme.

Like many others here I’m also having a problem with images NOT showing with the sticky posts/slider.

Anybody figured out what could be wrong and how to get images showing up on the slider?

Cheers.

I figured it out. Sticky posts show as a slider on the home page, even when it is static page, not posts page – I just moved slider to the header.php (last line before ) and added condition:

Love this theme because of multiple template options for the page.

Oops, code is not showing in my post. So I moved slider just before closing header and added condition get_template_part( ‘slider’ ) if this is front page and slider is an option selected: is_front_page() && esplanade_get_option( ‘slider’ )
