    I love this theme and am using it for our local residents association, but there’s one thing I’m struggling with.

    When people post news I would like that item to appear on the front page. I use a front page news slider, but that only works if there is an image. I’ve tried to ask editors to include an image, but they always forget!

    Is there a way to have a “latest posts” without having images.

    Sorry if this is a basic question. I’ve looked and looked but I am a novice user.

    Depends on the desired visual presentation. If you want the news to be displayed in the slider or in the columns, those are image based so the posts need images. Try looking for a plugin that sets a default featured image (when no other exists).

    Otherwise, for text-only content you can enable displaying posts below the columns (but you’d need to control the category(es) also with a plugin if you don’t want all posts to show there).
