Title: Matisse Theme Help – Slideshow Issue Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Matisse Theme Help – Slideshow Issue * [plw99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plw99/) * (@plw99) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/matisse-theme-help-slideshow-issue/) * I can’t seem to figure out how to get any slideshows into the designated area on my site. I can’t even find an area in the dashboard to create these slideshows. * I’m trying to get the slideshow to show up like the theme homepage: [http://matisse.blankcanvas.eu/](http://matisse.blankcanvas.eu/) * Any Matisse theme users that can shed some light? * Thanks in advance.

I’m having a strange problem. When I put a custom background image into the theme, the white background for the ‘container_12’ class disappears, but _only for pages._ Posts are fine. * [Here’s](http://www.thetwistedgroove.com/) my posts page. * And [here’s](http://www.thetwistedgroove.com/guests/) one of my pages. * I’ve tried having and not having the sidebar widgets on the pages because I thought that might be the problem, but it didn’t seem to make a difference. * Both archive.php and page.php seem to have the div with the ‘container_12’ class properly wrapping all the rest of it, so I’m kind of baffled. * I appreciated anything you can suggest. * [Jyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jynmeyer/) * (@jynmeyer) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/matisse-theme-help-slideshow-issue/#post-2402143) * Hi- the theme actually caught my eye because it’s my image in the thumbnail for the downloads. 🙂 (Im the photographer and Model) So I figured why not download it but when I try I get this error: *An Unexpected HTTP Error occurred during the API request.” Not sure if it’s a server issue (server down for maintenance) or a template package issue? -Jyn * [tommek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tommek/) * (@tommek) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/matisse-theme-help-slideshow-issue/#post-2402144) * > Hi, > Thanks for the great theme.

I’ve checked 2 posts in “Stick this post to the front page” but nothing happened. These 2 posts are located at the top of the home page (that wasn’t the case when the checkbox “Stick this post to the front page” was empty) but that’s the only thing. * Is there something to do with “post format” ? Did I miss something ? * Thanks for help, I hope I was clear. * [tommek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tommek/) * (@tommek) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/matisse-theme-help-slideshow-issue/#post-2402154) * Create page “home” set template “Slideshow” or “Slideshowe white Post”go to Settings > Reading and change ‘Your latest posts’ on ” A static page (select below) > Home ” * [Pynduitr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pynduitr/) * (@pynduitr) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/matisse-theme-help-slideshow-issue/#post-2402155) * Thank you very much, that’s working now.
