Featured Slider Questions

5. Is there a way to adjust the order of the images in the Featured Slider?

Hi there,
This for #1

.banner-featured {
	visibility: hidden;
}

For #2, try creating a custom excerpt. You will find that in the post editor typically below the text entry area. If it is not there, click on Screen Options at upper right and enable it.

If you wish to hide the excerpt on the posts on the main page, you can try this, which hides it and then sets the titles near the top.

.home #posts .entry-content {
	display: none;
}
.home #posts .entry-inner-content {
	bottom: auto;
	top: 0;
	transform: translateY( 15% );
}

On #4, Dyad 2 only shows posts in the featured slider by default. It would be quite a bit of work to get it to also show pages including the creation of a Child Theme and then modifications to /template-parts/loop-banner.php.

Thank you! removing the “featured box” worked fine.
Yes, I figured it out about creating custom excerpts yesterday and decided to go that way instead of just the first sentence of the post.
#4 looks too complicated for now.
Any thoughts on #5 above?
Thanks!

On #5, in a round-about way, yes. You can “quick edit” or edit each of those posts and change the date on them (or the time if they are all on the same day) and they should then appear in the date order (newest first).

Hmmm. They appear in date order already. I’m not sure I want to change the date on older posts because that would mean they would show up on the front page as well, right?

You can exclude Featured Content posts from the blog by going into your Customizer’s Featured Content panel and unchecking the box next to “Also display tagged posts outside the Featured Content area.

I know, but I want it all. ??
I want the flexibility to pick which posts (and if I could, which Pages) show in the slider and be able to select the order as well.I’d also like to pick which show in blog’s main page, rather than all or nothing.
Forgive me, I’m coming from a heavily customizable theme to this one, and while I like it, there are parts which are frustrating.
