    I am encountering something unexpected with the latest WordPress theme update for WordPress 2014.
    I have been using a static page with a slider for my front page that seemed to work very well. What showed was the featured image, and the content of my Home page.
    Since the latest update, It seems the content of my blog post is showing along with the featured image and the slider controller is pushed down on the page.

    I didn’t think the content of the sticky post was supposed to show, just the image. Has something changed?

    It’s making things look bad.

    Here is my site:

    alanmcd963,

    I spoke to my hosting company (bluehost.com), they deleted and reinstalled some files and that fixed the problem. They were unable to identify why this problem came up, however that action fixed the problem totally.
    I believe it has something to do with a particular plugin. Here is why I believe that. I went to do the updates on another site I run and it produced a white screen. the bluehost team did the same thing as above and the website is back up and running again.
    I will not close this or mark resolved yet until I see if the resolution sticks AND I hear from others who have either seen this work, not work or ran into the same problem.

    Have a great day and hope yours resolves too!

    do you know what files they deleted and reinstalled?

    Unfortunately I couldn’t decipher that information from the tech because I hit him with about 4 sites at once. I’m thinking he may have uninstalled and reinstalled the theme maybe?

    I uninstalled the theme, then reinstalled it and the slider/grid is working properly again.

    When you say Uninstalled, you mean deleted right? I’ve deleted and re-installed and makes no difference but if there’s another way to uninstall which is different from delete. then maybe that’s a try

    alanmcd963,

    I’m not sure myself. I didn’t know exactly what he deleted, my assumption was that he deactivated the plugin and deleted it, then reinstalled it. Because the problem was so random, I didn’t try it myself. It seems rightsedfred may have had good luck with this. If that didn’t work for you and no one else posts anything here, perhaps you should try your hosting company to see if they can help out.
    I’ll be watching to see how things go in case this happens again. It really sucked.
