Full Width Slider Image Width

[redoak]

Hey Guys,
Great theme and smart positioning – nothing really like it. I have worked with Genesis for awhile (but not a developer) and having the flexibility has made it a pleasure to use with the clean look and varied layout options especially compared to so many other Genesis themes out there.

Anyway, quick question. I am using the Agency style and looking for the slideshow to display a slider with more width than the 550px. More around 750px or similar to the demo. Could you advise how I do this? I have uploaded an image 1900×750 but it is scaled down to 1900×550 still. Can’t find the options or code to adjust. Thanks for your time.

Hi

Glad you like using the Flex pro theme. Regarding the slider image height, it is controlled via image-size explicitly defined in the functions file.

*** Backup before making changes. ***

1. Open functions.php file (Appearance > Editor)

2. Change the height 550 in the following code:

 add_image_size( 'box-slider', 1080, 550, true );
  add_image_size( 'full-width', 1900, 550, true );

3. After making this change, you need to upload the slider image again. Try to use a different image name or delete the existing image.

P.S. For best results upload image of exact required dimensions. For example for keeping 700px height, upload 1900 X 700 image size.

Awesome, this is perfect. Thank you!

I too would like my slider images taller than 550, but following the above instructions does not seem to do the trick. Any thoughts?

After performing above steps: did you upload new images or same image with a different file name?

I selected a different slider image from my media library, with no result. Just tried reuploading the original photo, and that worked – yay. Thanks 🙂
