    Hi, Im quite new in this game and Ive been struggling with this DYAD theme for a while – trying to turn my frontpage header image into a full width slider just like on the theme sample picture.. Anybody knows how to do this or able to help please?
    With the customize theme function I am only able to change the header image to a different one – but not actually turn it into a slider. I feel like Ive tried almost everything, trying different plugins and playing around with the theme editor but nothing is happening. Any suggestions please? Id appreciate it highly!

  • Hi @viktoriatuyet!

    Make sure you have the Jetpack plugin installed and activated ??

    Then you should see the Featured Content section in your Customizer.

    That section will allow you to select a specific tag (featured is a common choice) and then apply that tag to the posts that you want to have in your slider.

    In addition to the tag, make sure those posts all have a Featured Image ??

    Hi @shireling
    Thanks a lot for your response! I already have the Jetpack by wordpress.com installed and activated. But I see no featured content section in my customizer. It seems as if I don’t even have the opportunity to do anything besides changing the header image – which is where the slider should’ve been. What am I possibly missing or doing wrong here?

    The Featured Content settings will be in their own section of the Customizer:

    Do you have that option or no? If no, are other things missing as well?

    Hi again @shireling,
    Apparently I hadn’t activated the plugin fully. But it’s finally fixed now. Thank you so much again for your help! ??

    You’re welcome! Happy to help ??

    Hi Chad,

    I had the same problem, I solved it in the way you described, but I’m having a problem with the “featured” tag on the slidder. Can I somehow change the word or even make it disappear?
    Thanks in advance! ??

    Hi @blueberrymints!

    To change the word you would want to change the setting under Customize > Featured Content, then make sure all of the posts had the new tag, instead of the old one.

    To hide it completely, you can use the following CSS:

    
.site-banner-header .banner-featured {
    display: none;
}

    To add that CSS, use the Additional CSS panel in the Customizer (assuming you’re running at least WordPress 4.7) or with something like the Jetpack Plugin using the Custom CSS Module.
