 * Hi all, first post here, and sorry in advance for my english, i’m italian ^^
 * I’ve just started using WP with some results so far, but now i’m stuck with some
   problems, adn since i’ve to finish a site within a few days, i’m a bit worried
   😀
 * I installed WP locally (using XAMPP as APACHE/MySQL database), all works well.
   I installed [this theme](http://www.themes2wp.com/page/2) (named “Dreams”), but
   i got 2 main problems: the large slider doesn’t work (and once downloaded, the
   theme doesn’t even contain the sample images i saw in the demo!). I found the
   code part of the slider, but knowing nothing about php or WP code in general,
   i cannot solve the problem. I guess that slider has to retrieve images from articles(
   it’s made to show last articles images), but i don’t know how. If i simply add
   an image to an article, it doesn’t show up 🙁
 * After some scrubbing of .php files, in “functions.php” i found a code part with
   a tag “img src”, though empty, if i add an absolute image url (making it look
   like <img src=”http//…”) then it works, but i need the slider to retrieve images
   on its own – every image from the article that owns it.
 * That string is:
 * <div class=”slider-image”>
    <?php $screen = get_post_meta($post->ID,’slide’, 
   true); ?> <img src=”<?php echo ($screen); ?>” alt=”<?php the_title(); ?>”width
   =”963″ height=”272″ class=””> <div class=”slider-post”>
 * From what i understand, “echo” displays something (“($screen)” in this case i
   guess), but i don’t know what ($screen) means °_°
 * Second problem: how can i erase all elements from the right sidebar? In “widgets”
   there’s nothing already and i don’t know where to look…
 * Thanks in advance for reply!
