    Hello,

    I'm having some trouble setting up a Wordpress plugin.

    I chose the "FeaturedContentGallery" plugin to manage a slide show on my front page.. (Featured here: http://www.featuredcontentgallery.com/ )

    My first problem is that I cannot seem to make it work at all.

    Secondly, I only want it to appear on the front page, and have no idea how to make it do so.

    I would really appreciate it if someone could enlighten me on the plugin and/or the general WP problem.

    Thanks,

    I am fairly new with that plugin but think i might have it down. First of all you will need to be using a theme compatible with the featured area. The Revolution themes are really good themes that I like.

    Second, create a category named "featured" and post at least 3 post in that category (you will need at least 3 posts for the plugin to work). In the plugin's settings area specify the new category number for the featured area.

    Next you will need to create an image for each post (depending on your theme you will need to find out the size requirements). After that you will be able to see the featured area on the home page only. I am brand new to this forum so I guess I cant put a link in my post yet to a working example. But PM me and I can show you one.

    Hope this helps!:)
