  Hello,

  I have two questions I need help with please:

  1/ I’d like for the slider to show up on the homepage, but for some reason it isn’t showing up even though I have assigned the “portfolio template” to this page and have made this page the Static Page on the Reading settings. Is there something I need to activate on the various portfolio items? http://whatifvideos.wordpress.com/

  2/ The portfolio items have videos, but they show up quite small, can I make them fullwidth? http://whatifvideos.wordpress.com/portfolio/a-thousand-flowers-for-new-cross/

  Thank for your help!
  Maia

  Mine works now; In the tags for the post/portfolio/page you have to add “featured” as a tag. – Anything with this tag will show up in the slider.
  The slider won’t appear up till you add the tag! Also add a featured image so that the slider has a visual.
  Good luck –

  I managed to get something to work last night.
  First page that is shown is called Playitas Resort, when I click on that I just get to the front page again.
  If I delete that page (it is a page with portfolio theme, not a post, as it says a page much be created) nothing shows.
  When I look at the demo https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/sketch-theme-portfolio-slider-not-showing?replies=4#post-2089721postform
  just posts are shown. Not a page.
  I can get other portfolio pages beneth to show at the top.

  The homepage page must have the “portfolio template” activated –
  then I think any page/portfolio project/post can be shown as long as it has the “featured” tag.
  For example on my homepage I have pages and portfolio items on the slider: http://whatifvideos.wordpress.com/
  When you click on them you go to the corresponding page.
  hope that helps
