    Is there a way to limit the home page blog carousel to one row of blog posts? It seems like the second row randomly includes a post here or there and there's a large amount of white space between the blog carousel content and the navigation buttons that control the carousel, which I'd like to remove.

    Paste this code in Custom CSS
    Appearance > Theme Option > Styling Option > Custom CSS

    Code:
    #carousel-full .carousel-nav {
    display: none;
    }

    Gourav,

    That removes the nav buttons. I want to make the blog posts appear in a single row. What controls the height of the entire carousel div? Right now, if you look at the home page, the blog carousel is very tall and sometimes, randomly, a blog post will drop to a second row. I would like to shrink the div to accomodate only ONE row of blog posts in the carousel.

    Please share screenshot of the carousel, Where you are getting this issue and also specify which browser you are using.
    We have checked your site in multiple browsers but not getting such type of issue.

    I was able to resolve the issue by adjusting the height in the CSS declaration below. The problem is, I have to limit the amount of text in titles and categories or the content messes up. I just don't think the carousel looks great the way it's designed because the cascade forces posts to drop below the first row unless you shorten the height property and limit the text content in the titles and categories. But that will cause problems later. Any thoughts?
    #carousel-full {
    background: url("images/dashline.png") repeat-x scroll center bottom transparent;
    height: 250px;
    margin: 0 12px 0 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding-bottom: 22px;
    padding-top: 38px;
    }

    The Infowaytheme seems to be acting funny.

    1. I can't make a child theme without it crashing
    2. the Blog Carousel has now disappeared
    3. I suspect that there are two versions of the infoway theme and they are not properly documented, which leads to inconsistencies. For instance, the slider speed can now be changed in the theme options area, but I couldn't do that yesterday. Also, the blog carousel has disappeared.

    What's up? Thanks!
