In reply to: [Sela] Front Page Template not showing correctlyThank you SO much for all your time and help.
Yes, I noticed that the photos were loading slowly. I shall work on that. I just added them as they were, without changing the size. So many things to learn!
I shall try the social menu as well.
Do you know anything about the testimonials page? If I add that page, will they automatically appear on the Front Page also, as in the example?
I have searched for such a long time – and tried so many different themes to finally find one that I liked and looked the way I wanted it to! You can imagine my disappointment and frustration when I simply could NOT get it to work. Thank you, thank you! I really like the theme and am now happy to be finally learning to use it. Your assistance has been invaluable.

In reply to: [Sela] Front Page Template not showing correctlyHi m4j4,
Success!!! Thank you!
I uploaded a totally different photo and, as you suggested, resized it to width 1180. It came out much wider for some reason and filled the space. I’m not sure how a smaller photo ended up wider, but I’m not going to worry about that! At least now I can fit whatever photo I want to that space!I have learned SO much about the theme – for instance, when you click “size” in the media page, there are a variety of “sela” sizes for various things like testimonials, or grid photos, etc.
I am truly grateful to you for all your patience and help.

In reply to: [Sela] Front Page Template not showing correctlyOk, sorry, I fixed the alignment of the third widget. I’m sure the photo problem HAS to be something simple…such as alignment, but I cannot find anything!

In reply to: [Sela] Front Page Template not showing correctlyI had to title the page “Welcome” – and that appears in the white box in the center of the featured photo.
At the moment I’m trying to create the front page sidebar widgets to see if they work correctly. But if you look at the third sidebar widget, it is higher than the others, despite being exactly the same size!
I have tried everything I can think of to enlarge the featured photo- nothing seems to work. I like this theme, but I am ready to throw it away!

In reply to: [Sela] Front Page Template not showing correctlyHi m4j4, thank you for your reply. I followed Step 1 above exactly. I selected a different photo, but one that is also 4752 x 3168, as the featured photo, and it was cropped left. When I go to: Dashboard/Appearance/Customize/Static front page the new page I have created does not appear as a choice among the pages. Should I have saved or published it first? Regardless, the photo does not fill the space.
My belief is, that the Front Page Template is not functioning properly. Everything else about the theme seems fine; the other templates are ok, but the Front Page template does not display correctly.

In reply to: [Sela] Front Page Template not showing correctlyJust to add, I tried to use Regenerate Thumbnails, but it is compatible only up to WordPress 3.1 and I am running WordPress 4.1.1 It doesn’t seem to work – nothing happens when I hover over a photo in the media library.

In reply to: [Sela] Widgets out of wack after updateI have just switched to the Sela theme. I am trying to create a Front Page, but the featured image will not fill the space and the widgets at the bottom are ‘footer’ widgets not ‘front page widgets”. I’ve tried everything to make it work – including clearing the browsing history and cache. Can you help please? Thanks so much. http://www.theamblingblog.com
