Magento Porto Front Page Slider Issue

Damn, Magento is difficult, and more than a little fickle. This eCommerce open source package runs on a LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySql, php) and seems popular enough, but wow, there’s not much community support. Scary,when you need help but cannot turn to your people.

My client’s Magento site runs on Porto 1.2.0. The front page has a products slider that only displayed “;”. The products slider shows he most recently added products. Like, what? It used to work, I did not even know where the code was located, and now it broke? I tracked down the html with Firefly but even with the identified html could not find it in Magento or the Porto theme. I get a hint from the client that it is the homepage_15. Lo and behold, there is the code.
