Problem setting up home page and grid layout

To get the grid to display you have to put a tag in each of the posts you want displayed. Under featured content in options you will see that the default tag is ‘featured’, add that word to the tags for the posts you want featured (make sure they have a featured image too)

It doesn’t have to be ‘featured’, you can change it to whatever you want in options (slider, grid, home etc) but obviously whatever the word is you set, this is what the grid looks for in your post tags. Up to 6 can be displayed and it just pulls the most recent 6.

The grid will still display whether you have the home page set to a static page or latest posts.
