I cant get the plugin to work on our website, not sure if its because of the theme w/ the Featured Content Plugin? please let me know what i can test or do?
@mike,
The template which you are using on your site, don’t have any post on frontpage. It shows only archives and categories, this is the reason Wordpress FrontPage banner plugin is not running on you site.
Grab a theme which has atleast one post on frontpage then it will work.
