   Hi there, in this occasion I'am writing because I have a question, Does the slide show have a limit in the number of posts or pages you display with it?
   The thing is that I had several entries o pages, with its featured images and texts, and they worked well going through the slide show. However, when I added more pages to the slide show, it's not working well anymore.
   So far, I only have 5 entries running well on the slide show, but now I have 2 pages that used to be on the slideshow, but are not showing there anymore. Also, I added 2 more pages with featured pictures and all this, and don't show neither. I already checked out that the pages were published and in the right category of the slideshow, by the way...
   I'm guessing that the template has a limit of 5 pges or entries to be on the slideshow... or am I wrong?

   If this is the case (having a limit of 5 pages in the slide show), is there any way to change the code of Iphone 5 template to allow more pages to show in the slideshow?

   I'm really interested in doing this since each entry is a kind of add for services I'm offering in my web site,and I have more than 5 topics to show...

   Any hint about this problem..I'm using Iphone 5 template.
   Thank you for your help.

   All right. What I did was:
   1. I went to "Editor".
   2. Then, I went on the right side, and clicked on "featured.php" to see the code of the template.
   3. There, I made a couple of changes in the following code lines, pay attention...
   After the first quarter (more or less) from the begining of the code, you will find this lines that refers to the "featured_posts_category", which controls the slideshow.

   So there you have these lines:

   <?php
   $featured_posts_category = get_theme_option('featured_posts_category');

   if($featured_posts_category != '' && $featured_posts_category != '0') {
   global $post;

   $featured_posts = get_posts("numberposts=5&&category=$featured_posts_category");

   So, in this last codeline, you see: numberposts=5&& right?

   Well, you have to change the number 5 to the number of pages you want to make it appear in your slide show. For example, I changed to: 10&& since I want to show 10 featured images...

   But, Be Careful: don't forget to add the && signs, and don't change anything else, in order to not mess up the program.

   4. After you do that, you got to make another change:

   A few lines down the codeline with the number you changed, you'll find this line:

   </div>
   <?php }
   } else {
   for($i = 1; $i <=5; $i++)

   This last line corresponds to a cicle "For" that tells the program to increment and show one by one each featured image, from the first one you have -in the order settled up to show it-, to the last one. So, you must put the same number you changed before, in order to show all the images you want to. So, as I changed before to 10, I must make the same change now, by this way:

   for($i = 1; $i <=10; $i++) As you see, the only change I made was the number 10, instead of 5.

   Everything else stays the same...(careful)

   By this way, you can control how many featured images you want to add to your slideshow, 50 if you want...there's no limits..

   I know some programming stuff for other languages. But, I don't really have experience with web programming languages..However, I found this cicle, and is the same, so I discover the issue..
   I Hope this can be helpfull for anybody using Iphone 5 template.
   Take care. :-)
