[RESOLVED] How to activate the slider on the Speed theme?
-
Hi. I recently activated the Speed theme, but I can’t figure out how to use the Slider. The creator has a support form, but it doesn’t seem to be working.
The creator left these instuctions, but I don’t quite inderstand them:Slider image.
Works auto, will load specified image with custom field.
Just add the key = front_image and value = your image url for the post,
then the slider will load this image.This is a demo of the theme working: http://317.milo317.com/

Sounds like a large image should be attached to post.
1. While either in the Post > Add New or Post > Edit panel in the backend, you need to upload an image with the WP media uploader that will be attached to your post.
2. When that pop-up box appears, click on Link button in middle of the panel to find the URL of that media, copy and save that URL.
3. Then just below the textarea where you posted, you’ll find the custom field box. If you don’t have a key “front_image” yet (in all probability, not), you will add the text front_image and save.
4. Since you’ve now registered the key, choose front_image from the dropdown and then paste the image link URL you got during media upload.
5. Click on Save. That should do it.Disclaimer: I have not used that theme. I don’t even know if it’s compatible with current BP/WP versions. But the way to add custom fields is correct
=== but the custom field box is nowhere to be found. ===
@candanosa While in your Post > Add New or Post > Edit panel, click down the “Screen Options” tab on the upper right hand area of the screen and check on Custom Fields. When you close the Screen Options tab, it will show up.@gunju2221 BuddyPress forums of course
However, the Speed theme is a free theme for BuddyPress which is a rarity at this time. So, if there’s a way to provide some support for it in a reasonable time frame and manner, I will Hey Candanosa,
I’m having the same problem and got hold of milo but she doesnt seem to remember or want to tell me how to fix it
All I would like to know is how to set a defualt or define what image/post is initially displayed on the slider??
I’ve tried 100’s of combo’s of custom fields.
Thanks
Geoff
