    Please can someone point me at a step-by-step FAQ or another source that explains simply how to ‘bring alive’ (with images and text) the slider contained within a bought theme.

    I purchased RT Theme 13 if that makes any difference, I’d really like to use it to its potential, but I’m absolutely stuck at this point.

    I’m also struggling to understand how to add the columns underneath the slider as it is presented on the ‘live preview’ of RTTheme13, so again if anyone can advise/point me at a FAQ, I’d be really grateful.

    Thanks

    Did the theme not come with instructions? Like a readme file or something?

    If not you should maybe contact the person who developed the theme, their details should be in the style.css file or under Appearance -> Themes in the admin panel.

    Thanks for the reply, I’ve been bounced by the author to here.

    It’s more a general enquiry than a theme specific one, I’m new to all this and just can’t get my head around utilising the slider for some reason. I need a walkthrough.

    Searching FAQs doesn’t seem to prompt an obvious solution.

    Well to be honest there are hundreds of different sliders out there, the live preview of RT Theme 13 uses the Nivo slider, you can find out about that here http://nivo.dev7studios.com/ . The way you actually manage slides from within wordpress is something that could be different in every theme as it’s built in by the developer.

    As for the columns they will either be set up using Widgets or shortcodes, you can find the shortcodes on the live preview page for the theme on Theme Forest, Widgets are in Appearance -> Widgets

    You’re a gent. I’ll mark this as resolved, absorb all the info you’ve supplied and hopefully I’ll crack it.
