Hey,
in index.php replace:
$additional_loop = new WP_Query("cat=".$k_option['mainpage']['feature_cats_final']."&posts_per_page=".$k_option['mainpage']['feature_count']);with:
$additional_loop = new WP_Query(array('post_type' => 'page', 'post__in' => array(37,50)));Instead of 91, 71 insert the ids of the pages you want to display....

Hey,
1)login in and go to the page you want to add to the slider. Click on "Edit Page" in the top wordpress admin bar. You'll see that the url of the page editor contains a number (like http://localhost/wp-admin/post.php?post=50&action=edit ) - i.e. this page has the id 50. Note the id and then insert them seperated with commas.
$additional_loop = new WP_Query(array('post_type' => 'page', 'post__in' => array(37,50)));2) You inserted the image directly into your post too. You have 2 options:
a) Remove the second image by deleting it from the post content
b) Remove the featured image from the post content - open up single.php and delete:
<?php if($preview_image) { echo '<div class="entry-previewimage rounded preloading_background">'; echo $preview_image; echo '</div>'; } ?>Posted 2 years ago # -
I have tried this as outlined a few times. The site is working fine with calling the last 5 published posts.
Step 1 remove;
$additional_loop = new WP_Query("cat=".$k_option['mainpage']['feature_cats_final']."&posts_per_page=".$k_option['mainpage']['feature_count']);
from index.phpStep 2 replace with;
$additional_loop = new WP_Query('page_id=39,57,73,276,44');
In my case those are the pages I would like to use in the slider, for now, we will change them from time to time.What happens is the first featured image comes up, no other images come up. I am going to leave this up so you can take a look. http://VisitLondonderry.com

That made progress, however it results in only three page sliders showing. Even though five have been entered. For example.
$additional_loop = new WP_Query(array('post_type' => 'page', 'post__in' => array(50,51,52,53,54)));With this setting only 51, 52, 53 show. The configuration menu in "mainpage options" is set to "5" sliders. Setting it to "7" sliders, we still only get 3.

Thank you that worked! I would recommend you make a sticky of this or set up a clear post, I have seen a lot of people that have bought the theme looking for this option.
Also if you could consider in the next update of the template adding this option to the dashboard. Providing boxes to enter the posts and or pages by number so editing the code is not required. You could have a selection of "the last X (3-7) posts" or "enter your post or page number.
Thank you for the help my people here will be very happy today.

I am using friendly url's for my page names, so I don't know how to find the page id

Login and go to the page you want to add to the slider. Click on "Edit Page" in the top wordpress admin bar. You'll see that the url of the page editor contains a number (like http://localhost/wp-admin/post.php?post=50&action=edit ) - i.e. this page has the id 50.

Hello,
the solution is working for me, except one thing: I cannot rearrange the order of the pages in the slider. Whatever I do, the page created the last time (nr 42) is at the first place and the oldest one (nr 10) is the last one in the slider. How can I rearrange this order?

Thanks a lot!

Hey,
The order of pages is defined by the order in which they are called in the WP_Query - in Dude's latest example code above the posts called are: 50,51,52,53,54
So changing the order to: 54,50,51,52,53 would load the page with the ID of 54 1st.

Unfortunately, it's not the case at my temporary site: http://fenyves-taborhu.web-server.hu/ . The array in this moment is (10,13,15,42) --> the first slide should be 10, but instead it's 42. Whatever I change in this array, it won't affect anything in the slider. Please help me to rearrange the slides in the array of 10,13,15,42... Thanks a lot!
