    I tried to get the built-in Featured Content slider working on my home page. But after following the instructions and clearing WP Super Cache, the slider is not showing up.

    The only thing I could think of may the cause is the featured image size. Does the built-in slider requires featured images of specific size?

    I do have featured images on each post/page with the correct tag. It does show up if I change it from Slider to Grid.

    Thank you so much for the help.

    Update: I noticed that the slider do appears on the mobile version of the website (response Twenty Fourteen).

    This shows as resolved. I am having the same issue, but only on my laptop which has a smaller vertical screen resolution than other computers I view the site with.
    If I hold CTRL and scroll the mouse wheel in Chrome to scale the screen, my sliders show up.

    What did you find out about this feature?

    I did posted an answer on how I resolved the issue while making this tread resolved. But it may have been deleted by admins.

    The reason why the slider did not show up is that if you have any CSS or functions.php code that modifies the behavior of the featured image (either added by you or by a mobile theme like WP Touch), it may interfere with the built-in slider.

    I hid all featured images hence causing the slider to not appear at all on desktop. The desktop full width version of this theme uses the featured image.

    In my particular case it was CSS custom code I had. I modified it by adding a secondary CSS right after the display:none;. So, .post-thumbnail will be displayed only on the first page (using the page-id of the front page).

    For example: 

    /* Remove Featured Image except homepage to allow slider*/
.post-thumbnail {display: none;}
#page-id-FRONT_PAGE .post-thumbnail { 
display: block;}

    If you have not added a custom CSS or a functions.php code in your child theme to modify the behavior of the featured image, then check if you have any mobile specific themes or plugins that modifies the thumbnail/featured image.
