template portal 1.0.5

http://demo.theme-junkie.com/?theme=portal
Eu ja tentei umas 1000 vezes instalar este portal, só que o slider não aparece na pagina inicial, ja coloquei posts com fotos e tudo mais e não achei como ativar este slider

junto com o arquivo veio este pequeno tutorial, mas não adiantou nada

INSTALL:
1. Upload the theme folder via FTP to your wp-content/themes/ directory.
2. Go to your WordPress dashboard and select Appearance.
3. Select Portal WordPress theme.
4. Inside your WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance > Portal Theme Options and configure them to your liking.

FAQ:
* How to create thumbnails
With the built-in theme functions you have two options to create thumbnails:
1. Auto thumbnail creation:
If you would like to create thumbnails for homepage and archive pages, just simply upload an image and insert to the post,
the thumbnail will be automatically created, no custom fields needed.

2. Custom field for thumbnail creation:
If you would like to create thumbnails via custom field instead of auto-creation, just simply add a custom field to the post:
Custom field name: thumb
Custom field value: IMAGE LINK (i.e. http://www.yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/sample.jpg)

Se alguem souber como faz para trabalhar com templates com sliders , agradeço, thanks
