Slide show

Hi. You should do as follow:

1. Upload your images via Media Uploader (best if 1080×450 px).
2. Create a white page that will be your “Home” only with this text: [slideshow].
3. Go to Media, click the “attach” link for each image you want to be part of the slideshow (you have to link it selecting the home page among all the page displayed).
4. Enjoy!

I did it step by step and It didn’t work . Anything I do ,it doesn’t change in fact it doesn’t show me the theme opcion ?
It will be because it is a demo ? or Does the demo version also work?
Don’t show me widgets hermes, feactures pages and slidshow ??

where I can find the xml file for the demo content ?

@armandogn and @prometheusgr

Don’t feel lonely…i tried everything to get the homepage slider to work and no dice. Followed theme instructions and also what the other poster said…still no dice.

Going elsewhere for another theme that will work for me.

Thanks for the reply. I also tried everything what I could do and I definitely give up , this theme is a fake. I think the only thing to do is create it from the begining.
And , Could you set the feactures pages without any problem on your homepage ?

The theme has a documentation page:
Reception Documentation.

In 99% of cases the problem is that people skip the instructions and don’t read them, specifically this part:

Important to note: Make sure that on the Settings > Reading page your homepage is set to display “Your Latest Posts”.

.

And no, using [gallery] or [slideshow] is in no way part of the official instructions or process of setting up the theme as the demo is.
If it were required to use a shortcode, it would have been mentioned in the documentation page.

I already read the documentacion again and again I follow all the steps without losing any detail and nothing. I worked around 1 week on this theme and I was not able to set the homepage , Any change I did on it , it was not displayed on the homepage. In appearance-customize- Home page settings and none of them work. Just in case , I never forget to set “Reading page your homepage is set to display “Your Latest Posts”.
Thank for your reply !

I’m so sorry. Even if using [slideshow] isn’t part of the official instructions, it works! So what’s the problem?
Remember you have to select the page, named Home (where you have to write [slideshow] inside it), as Homepage among “Template Standard” and “parent page” on the right side of your back-end panel.
Uncheck then check “Display slideshow” in the Homepage Settings of the Reception Theme. Try to refresh page or clear temporary internet files of your browser. The Theme is not a fake: mine works so well!

@jopix – Just to be fair, I tried this again using your instructions. Still no dice for me. Yes, I cleared my internet cache too. It just doesn’t work for me. I’m glad you are being shown some love with it.

@armandogn – No, I wasn’t able to show feature pages on the homepage nor the contact information.

@dumitru Brinzan – Thanks for posting the instructions, however, I tried everything, even the contact information in header will not show up. It just doesn’t work for me. The screenshot looks great, wish it would work out for me but doesn’t. Thanks anyway.

Send me an email to [email protected] with your /wp-admin/ log-in details, I will check what’s wrong with your settings.

@kwd I hope @dumitru Brinzan could help you.

@dumitru Brinzan I have a question for you. I uploaded an image under General Settings->Logo File Upload (1080px x 200px). It works well if I’m surfing the site on the PC, but if I’m using a smartphone, the image doesn’t appear correct (infact it is above the 100% of the maximum size of device), so I have to give up, if I do not want the theme will result as not responsive. How can I set the image, so that it appear at 100%, with every type of device?
Thanks so much!

The theme was not coded with full width logos in mind.
But you can add this custom CSS code:

#logo img { width: 100%; height: auto; }

I disabled then enabled and page to start a page frontpage template
and worked

@dumitru Brinzan
Thanks so much! It works now!
