Very Difficult to Use. No Updated Support.

    I deleted a Sliding Door Slide and Page from the Sliding and Primary Navigation menus. I replaced it with a new page and updated my media with the intended sliding door picture. It is the 4th slide. The slide is white / blank. The picture I want to insert doesn’t show. For my other 6 slides, In the past, I selected “use as featured image”. This option is not longer visible.

    Back in 2012 I decided to use Sliding Doors. It is not a user friendly theme unless you are familiar with code (CSS). I am not and therefore, have depended on the steps offered by other users in the FAQ of the author’s site. To find any useful information, I have to spend hours sifting through FAQ’s that are not pertinent to my issues. The author, Wayne, has not made any notable contribution to support current issues; but he does chime in from time to time providing a link back to the FAQ’s on his support site. These links point to outdated answers and are of no use with the current version of Sliding Doors. Case in point: A pictorial on how to add a picture to the sliding navigation menu stating to select it as a featured image…which I can no longer find. There are no comments on updates or changes made in this area.

    If I get a response to my above question in the next 24 hours, I will update my review and increase my rating.

    Thanks.

    Sunny, I am sorry you are unhappy. The team has been upgraded to make it easier to use. You do not need to edit any CSS to use the theme in its basic form. Everything can be done from the WordPress menus themselves, including the “use as featured image” which is still available on the posts. I’m not sure why you couldn’t find it.

    It is true that the support site has a lot of talk about CSS. This is beyond the scope of the normal WordPress user I agree, but there are people out there who like to discuss this kind of thing. The support site is for those people who want to delve into a little bit of CSS and so on, but you do not need to go anywhere near that to use the theme.

    This is the case with all WordPress themes. You can use them “as is” or you can get “under the hood” and do some mods.

    On the support site there is an FAQ which is up-to-date.

    I am sorry that I did not reply to this earlier, I only check this forum every two or three months.
