Trouble creating album slider like the one in your "Dark" Demo

Hi,

Apologies in advance to my severe lack of programming/web designing capabilities, but I promise I'm trying! : )

I'm am trying to mimic the same layout as your "Dark" Thirteen Demo : http://thirteen-dark.apollo13.kinsta.com . I tried creating an album on the Home page page, but they aren't showing up. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide you with a link to my site because I am still using my old one while I work on this new theme.

I've searched on here for answers, but it seems everyone else is way ahead of the game and know how to at least create showing albums. I may just be trying to upload my photographs in the wrong direction as this is all new to me. Do you have a link that explains how I can make my home page similar to the one in a demo. Or at least, offer a couple of pointers to get me in the right direction.

Any help is most appreciated!

    Hello there:-)

    You can do few things :
    - you can view our documentation http://apollo13.eu/docs/thirteen/
    - you can check how to setup home page http://apollo13.eu/docs/thirteen/#!/adding_frontpage
    - You can also import demo data if you need, but it will erase all your data http://apollo13.eu/docs/thirteen/#!/installing_demo_data

    It would be easier to help you if you would know what you tried already. However if you are quite new to it, then I hope that documentation will help you most, and I will clear rest for you :-)

    With kind regards.
  • I appreciate your super speedy response and helpful advice! I'm going to try these options first and hopefully I can get it right. If I fail miserably, I may need to bug you again (with screenshot of what I did), but until then I'm not giving up hope! haha

    Thanks so much! :D

    Good luck then!

    I am here for you for next ~4 hours, so if you fail after that time I will reply in Monday then. I have faith in you :-)

    With kind regards.
  • Hi, it's me again!

    I'm at a standstill so I must bother you real quick (I know, that short lived faith in me!) I've attempted to follow the documents as best I could, but still seem to have my album listed as the brick format, rather than the slider look in the demo. I tried switching the layout to slider, as well as, click the option for one photo displayed, but when I did that, the screen when completely blank.

    Would you please have a look at my screen shots to see if something immediately seems off to you. Or better yet, can you please let me borrow your brain for the day (or month) : )

    Also, I'll be traveling for work later today so please no rush in responding. Thankfully I'm working with this site in the staging area so I have time to learn!

    Thanks again!!
