Hi,
Firstly, a suggestion - could you please install a “search” option for your forums. The normal page search does not find anything and I am reluctant to post something here which has already been answered. I have gone through all of Mikmag’s forum messages and have not found anything on this, so here goes:
Site URL: http://cafedwaesj.nl/wp/
My blog post page is defined in settings as: http://cafedwaesj.nl/wp/dwaesj-nieuws/
I have created this page and have added it to my main navigation menu.
I am trying to add a latest posts slider to the top of this page, but it appears that having set it as the default Blog page, none of the Mikmag page settings such as adding a slider or a sidebar seem to take effect.
Is this something that I can get around? I would really like my latest posts slider at the top of this page.
Thanks,
Wizard247

It looks like you’ve managed to get the slider working, are you still running into any problems here?
28/10/2012 at 10:39 PM #8862Hi,
Yes, I managed it but kind of by accident. I can only get the latest posts slider to appear on top of my blog page if I have it selected as appearing on top of a random blog POST.
I had it selected on top of my blog PAGE but that didn’t do it. Then I picked one post and enabled it at the top of that post, thinking it was only going to show up on that one post, but that made it appear on top of the blog PAGE.
I’m happy it works and generally have to congratulate you on an excellent theme. I have been working with WordPress for some time now and haven’t found a theme that is so comprehensive and easy to manipulate as yours. I will definitely come back for more!
I have also posted a message regarding “Latest post slider word count takes letter count instead” - I have been trying to get my head around this one as WordPress by default is supposed to take word count and have only been able to find advice on people wanting to change this to character count, but your theme actually SAYS in the configuration of the slider that it takes Word Count, but then in actuality the number I put in, i.e. 120, gives me 120 characters and not words and therefore breaks off a word halfway. Any thoughts on this one?
Thanks again!
Louise
