Is everybody having the same problem with home page slider image???

Hi everyone,

I have to firstly say I do love this theme but and I mean but as I am now starting to get slightly Peed off with the images on the home page slider and the fact that no matter what I or who evers instructions I follow the images still do not fit in there properly and have been given several solutions as to how I fix this, one being the images should be 440 x 270 (doesn't work) one being change a part in the CSS to 800, 600 ( also doesn't work!) and I was just wondering if everyone else was experiencing the same frustration as me as this is causing me to lose what little hair I have left!! Can someone please help me and give me the correct explanation as to how I get the images on the home page slider to fit in the box with out cutting parts of it out and making it look awful.

Any help or advice on how to fix this as long as it dose fix it would be greatly appreciated

 

David,

I just uploaded full size landscape format images.... 900 x 600 or so and they just get "fit" into the slider. I suspect, that there is a little bit of automatic adjusting to get the aspect ratio right... but it is transparent to me as it occurs... an dI can't tell the difference looking at them.

Makes sense?

Hello,

Theme contain two sliders with different dimension one at front page (215 x 160) and second at single listing (450 x 270)px.
In single listing slider you can add image of any dimension. It will display full image without cropping.
But dimension of front page slider is small so cropping is required there otherwise images will look compressed.
So if you don't want to crop your images then

Go to the Appearance > Editor > front-page.php
and make changes at line number
82, 84,
156, 158,
220, 222




Or

If admin itself adding listings then adding "featured image" of size (215 x 160)px is also a solution. Featured image will display at the front page and category page slider.
So edit your listing, featured image option is at the right bottom (below widgets) of your screen.
