"Featured" Posts not showing

I see you already have Jetpack installed on thatangle.com, so try heading over to Appearance > Customize. In the Featured Content section, set the featured tag to match the one you’ve assigned to your posts.

Have a look at your front page now and see if that did the trick.

If you had a different theme active before Untitled, you may need to regenerate your thumbnail images now, to set them to be the correct size for the slider. You can do that with a plugin like this one:

Let me know how it goes.

Voila the featured content showed.

It looks great. Great Theme. Thank you so much.

Good stuff, glad to hear it.

For your other questions, do you already have a child theme set up? If not, you’ll need to create one. I’ll give you some guides on child theming at the bottom of this post.

Place a copy of comments.php in your child theme folder.

On line 62, change this:

<?php comment_form(); ?>

to this:

<?php comment_form(array('comment_notes_after' => '')); ?>

Doing that will get rid of the “HTML tags and attributes” stuff after the comment form.

To remove “Bookmark the permalink” you’ll need to make a copy of single.php and place it in your child theme folder.

The wording you’ll need to remove is on several lines: 79, 81, 87, 89. On each of those lines, delete this part:

Bookmark the <a href="%3$s" title="Permalink to %4$s" rel="bookmark">permalink</a>.

Be very careful not to delete the ‘ mark just after the period in the code you’re deleting.

(Line numbers may differ if you’ve already made a child theme and edited the same files.)

If you’re new to child themes, you can explore these guides:
