You should see the 1st post, a 2nd is ready to go.

Yes the “Nothing Found” message is gone when I published the test posts.

Also, when I REMOVED the “featured” tag from 2 featured posts, the posts showed with the featured image(s) AND NO “Nothing Found”.

Thank you Gary for your time, I really appreciate your help trying to sort out my mess.

The test posts post on the home page, newest (#2) first, #1 below & NO “Nothing Found”.

Before I added them I had the “Nothing Found” & (below) the “Ready to publish your first post? Get started here.” message.

The Featured images work on both featured (“Nothing Found”) & the test posts; i.e. show and “move next” on their own or when clicking the “<” or “>” symbols.

The Images are a part of the “featured” post. The post does not show, only the images at the top (the “<” or “>” symbols); the featured posts & images should be below the moving featured images, the test post are but the “real” posts aren’t.

According to the doc for Dyad-1 & 2 I used the tag “featured” on the “Featured” panel and on the featured post, then added the (featured) image(s).

On another support page (I don’t remember where) explaining the “Featured Content”
the tag “slider” (visible in a screenshot of the “Featured Content” panel) was used. I used “slider” in “Featured Content” and as the tag for the featured post.

I don’t know/remember which tag worked (slider or featured). However, I have since used either (stand alone) or both tags with the same result i.e. “Nothing Found”. I have since removed the slider tag & slug.

The only tag now is “featured”.

I removed my 2 test posts and I’m back to “Nothing Found”. (The 3 “real” featured posts worked before, the pictures were just too big and necessitated the movement of the page scroll bar. I wanted 3 in a row (Dyad-1) but I’ll settle for 2+2 (Dyad-2).

All the menu items work: about, blog & page (which I created new & then deleted the “Sample Page”.

At the risk of seeming ungrateful or worse – a jerk, the site works as I’ve described above.

Thanks Gary, but with only 3 featured posts, the picture rotation worked AND the featured 3 posts (with images) showed below, I just though the pictures were too big (found browsersize.com) and wanted them to lineup 3 across (like Dyad-1 shows).

I added the 4th “Featured” post last night and still got the “Nothing Found” and want (at least 4) “sticky” “featured” posts on the front.

It’s really frustrating, I had it working and did something stupid. I wonder if an old piece of “Construction” or the Dyads or another theme is screwing things up ?

Added a test post with no tags and it shows.

Before we continue jarret, thanks for your time and efforts.

Yes, I’ve created a page with blocks and an Image w/Caption and it all shows. I View my site from the Dashboard, and again it’s “temp” and not “live”.

Originally I tried “Construction Lite” and couldn’t make it work. I then bounced around between Dyad & Dyad-2. Couldn’t make the Dyads work (Featured panel) until with some digging, found out about JetPack and it worked. However, at this point I’m not sure if it was Dyad-1 or 2.

“Construction Lite” required a slider (and was put in). Could there be something strange going on with tabs and/or categories ? Does switching from 1 Theme to another require the deletion of all previous tabs, categories, widgets, etc. ?

If I can get this going, all I’ll have to do (hopefully) is resize/optimize my images & start creating some “blocks” (most of which I’ve wrote & will be “pasted” in).

Haven’t gone “live” I’m still “temp”. Have “Published” the posts, they are “Public” and not “drafts”.
