 * How do I enable the slider and sticky posts? I’ve looked in the editor and the
   coding is there for the slider but it just isn’t showing up. I’m not seeing an
   option to sticky posts anymore either. Any advice?

 * It’s cleverly hidden.
 * To activate the slider in the Ascetica theme, you have to:
    -  1. Create a post (Posts > Add New)
       2. Click Add Media (now insert your image
      for the slider) 3. IMPORTANT PART! On the right side of the “Add New Post”
      form, click **Visibility: Public** and it will open up hidden options. Click**
      Stick this post to the front page** 4. Publish post. 5. Insert sigh of relief.*
 * *NOTE: If it doesn’t work, go back to each post and try setting “Set featured
   image” to the picture in the post itself. That oughta fix it!
 * I also set all my “slider photo” posts to Format – Gallery and created a category
   of “Photos” to add them all to.

 * 🙂 Thank you! It’s working now. Number 5 was what I was missing.
