I am using the “Polyland” plugin for the posts but it is not working with the AgentPress Listing Plugin… HELP! Thanks again.

Hi Fotis,

thanks again for your always prompt reply.
?? Nope… this does not help ??
I am actually using 1110X600px otherwise the featured images cannot be used in the slider.
Promblem #2. I don’t care I cannot upload the redistributed images. What matters is that the sample post shows a field that supposed is of an image and one cannot upload our own, like we can on the field galary. It would be neat to have such a full-size field on the image.
Thanks for the plugins. Will check those in the end. I get a feeling the site will be heavy and loading very slowly… What is your take on this?
What about using the plugins to optimize the images, even if they are large enough to fill out the slider?
Cheers,
Sonia

Fortis,

OK. I am going with the blog as the home page with the slider for now. Maybe later I will figure out how to add the slider to a blog page in addition to having a static home page…
Cheers,
Sonia

Hi Fotis,

I did not remember the slider for the Front Page. It works on the front page now… albeit it is still a construction page… I let it on just for you to see at:

Yes, I do have some images on “Test” blog pages. But the blog “roll” Blog page does not have the slider ??

An on the blog page I do not get images with the short text… is supposed to be like this? Or is it because I removed the featured image from the blog page with the css.code? It does show on

Thanks.
Sonia

Fotis,

I also check the response you sent to charmaine3perry on the front page to see if I could fix my problem, but confess I did not understand how we can clone the widget from the front page to have the slider…
Cheers,
Sonia

Fortis,

I only need this on my blog (“roll”) page, that will show the latest blog post and will not be my front page.

Ahah!!! –> ( I now know that I can have a static front page + a blog (roll) page).

Thanks a million (and a coffee if you come to Lisbon)
Sonia

My mistake. I can get both a static page and a blog page from
Settings–>Reading –> static page

Hi Fotis,

daahhh … I was there and I did not see it … LOL
OK, on settings–> Reading
1) static page (I get both the static home page and the post page)… and I thought it was either or…
Thanks.
Sonia

Thank you both.
I am done with Divi although it has really great and easy to config pages, etc.
No translation even though they promise so, lousy support (just trying to sell more add ons to solve the problems that they had initially promised to be capable of and many hidden codes that mess-up one’s work). Olsen-light rocks. I am very happy even after I tried many other paid and non-paid themes. In addition to this great support forum, it is clean, modern and sleek. …. ah, ah, and it comes with my brand colors!!!

Yes. Great. I am doing this Fotis right now with my “work in progress”/ “launch soon” page. But the my question remains… I am trying to build a start page to let people know the 3 main categories and most popular posts…. if I am not able I will still try the “home” page with the slider and latest posts already incorporated, but right now, I am not able to this either… not even with the <?php code for the header.php Fotis has provided me with…

But I will get there, eventually, with all your help.
Cheers,
?? Sonia

Also, I have disabled the featured image from the posts with the css code you showed me . But it is now not showing on this front summary/home page or on the widget side bar “other posts”… Could this also be a reason for the slider not to be working?

?? I failed and don’t know why…?
1) Settings–> Reading OK. I get the front-page / home page with all the blogs listed
2) the <? php if (is_front_page() ){
on the header.php … did not give me the slider ??

This time I made the change on the actual theme file.
I still think that I deleted something by mistake when I imported the sample files and sample wizzards…
wanted to try to re-install the theme.
I have created a child and am working off the child. Do you think if I re-install both I loose all the work and extra css you have been so kindly providing me?
Or is there a way around this?

BTW I used my cPannel, code editor and the file was successfully saved.

Yes. Fotis. The settings –> reading is working fine. Thanks again for that tip.
Will check your link as well. You have been such a great help! wound’t be able to do it without you. Makes me feel really happy ?? thanks.

Hello once more,

I still tried to get the themes “Home” page as per your suggestion.
I do not get the slider show, nor do I get a “home” page… even though when I click on the logo I do go to a “new” page with all the posts.
Questions:
1) my “home” page does not have a slider… I still think I deleted some file that I had imported from the template and template demo. Can I recover it?
2) this home page does not really exist, right? it is just automatically created when we select that we start off with a collection of blog posts, right?

Thanks for the clarification.
Cheers,
Sonia

Hi Fotis.
Again thanks for the reply.
I did follow the documentation to install the theme and sample files.
This is not what I am looking for but I am not able to explain better… In the beginning I did see a page with widget spaces (I could drag different pieces to each block)…different pages and different blog posts…
Anyway, for what you say we can only have a blog page if it is the starting page?
What if I want a starting page that gives an overview of my blog and then a blog page where people can browse the latest blogs (like the starting page you point me too)?
Anyways, I am going to try to do what I want with images and text in between.
Cheers,
Sonia

Brilliant!
All done.
Thanks and have a nice Sunday…
