Hi reburnt

I got this from the Theme Horse support:
Hi John,

The post/page slider is available in our free version and works fine with WordPress 3.8
You can follow this steps outlined here https://www.themehorse.com/theme-instruction/attitude/#slider for making slider work
If you are confused on any steps feel free to ask us.

Regards,
Theme Horse

The bit I was missing was the page ID; seems obvious now! I still haven’t got where I’d like to be but it will do for now.

All the best
John

I tried a few things and got the featured image to show. Turns out I didn’t understand the system of entering the page ID in theme options. Anyway, it’s still not exactly how I want it to look. Here’s a screen shot with the featured image working – https://www.organicsmusic.com/ss1.jpg – The image is at full width now but there is a space between it and the menu with the title ‘home’ in it. Also I can’t see how to remove the info boxes overlapping the image. Here’s how I’d like it to look, ideally: https://www.organicsmusic.com/ss2.jpg

ideas anybody? thanks!

Just checking…

Can the sample page illustrated in the WordPress themes section ( https://www.ads-software.com/themes/attitude ) be reproduced with the Theme’s free version and, specifically, can I use the featured post field to add a large image as illustrated on the sample page.

Downloaded the theme directly from the Wordress dashboard.

Yes, the thumbnail view you pointed out is the one I was trying to re-create.

I don’t know if it is a featured post slider. i looked under theme options and there’s reference to many features including featured post / page slider.

I will do as you suggested and ask this question in the theme’s support pages. I will ask ‘can the sample page illustrated in the WordPress themes section ( https://www.ads-software.com/themes/attitude ) be reproduced with the Theme’s free version and, specifically, can I use the featured post field to add a large image as illustrated.

I’ll get back once i get an answer.
Thanks!

Thanks, you are right. I just switched to the Attitude theme on the live site and inserted a Featured image. It’s not working. I was aiming for a large full-width image just under the main Navigation, just like the Attitude demo page. Here is the page I just created (with Featured image active) https://www.johnmoriartymusic.com/guitars-2/

Both sites are wordpress 3.8

Where would I see the GD / imagick php libraries? i looked in Appearance editor but didn’t see them there. I’ve no coding experience – sorry!

Ok, i’ll follow up with Theme provider but, like I mentioned, the problem is not theme specific. it persists when i change theme on the local host.

I don’t think it is a pages issue as I can add featured image to a page on my other site.

The second link you posted is interesting – perhaps there is a problem with ‘the loop’ Pity i can’t code! oh well, i’ll keep trying…

Thanks for taking the time to reply. At the moment I’m using Attitude by Theme Horse. I tried other themes and the same problem. That’s why I was thinking it might be something to do with the local file storage on my machine. When i insert images onto a page, they preview fine.
