    Hello,

    I have switched over to the Twenty Fourteen theme, and everything is great except my Featured Posts slider/grid is not there?

    I have made the last 6 posts ‘Sticky’ and also created a ‘Featured’ tag. But https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Twenty_Fourteen says…
    “To edit the tag, go to Appearance > Customizer. Under the Featured Content section, change the name of the tag.”

    However, my site doesn’t have a Tag Name box inside the Featured Content section, it ends after the Layout drop down menu?

    Appreciate the help with this.

  • I’m just trying it. The grid shows but no images show if you just tag the posts ‘featured’. Making posts sticky (with or without the ‘featured’ tag) shows a grid but no images.
    The only thing that works (shows the grid and the images in them) is go on the post edit page to Featured Image -> Set featured Image (some image that is 1038px wide, doesn’t have to be in the post)
    AND tag the post ‘featured’.

    You can use a different tag name, that’s what you can set with Appearance->Customize->Featured Content

    I have read in other places that there is a conflict between Jetpack and Twentyfourteen. I have been experiencing the same conditions. I disabled Jetpack and then reenabled it. My slider returns but the condition will occur again soon.

    I just disabled Jetpack and I got the grid to work.
    I have other tags in my posts, but did just add ‘featured’ and did not need ‘sticky’ also. I also do have featured images set.

    There seems to be a forthcoming fix or if you want to mess with development versions there is a fix.

    How do you set an article as sticky? I don’t see that anywhere.

    berenerchamion, so as not to derail this conversation by going off at a tangent, please can you start a new topic to ask your question.

    I disabled and updated jetpack and now my “featured” text window shows up and the grid appears on the site.
    THANKS!!!

    Sorry I’ve been away.

    I fixed the problem, by going to Settings>Reading>Featured Content.

    That’s where I was able to change the tag name to ‘Featured’, it was blank by default (which was causing the problem).

    I am not able to do it through Appearance>Customize>Featured Content. It just doesn’t show up there for me, the only option I have is Layout (Grid or Slider).

    FYI, haven’t had to disable Jetpack.

    Thanks for everyone’s help/input.

    I also fixed the problem by going to Settings>Reading>Featured Content … but in my case the problem was I had to change “featured” (with a small f) to “Featured” (with a capital F).

    Hi, I was experiencing the same issues, with the Featured Posts Grid/Slider not showing.
    I disabled the jetpack plugin
    and then re-enabled it
    and now the Featured Posts Grid/Slider is showing again.

    Hopefully it will stay that way
