I’ve just started using responsy-wp and cannot get the slider to work on the home page. I’m new to wordpress so still finding my way around. I have slider type as small, animation as slide. Call to action text shows but images don’t.
I’m doing something wrong probably :)
Are images added in ‘slides’ for the slider?
Do images need to be a particular size? I can’t se any settings to adjust slider apart from animation time and wait time.
Is there any sort of manual/pdf to help with such problems?

got the slider working. I’m using square images. My slider sits to the left of page. Is there any way of getting it centred?

how do you add words and buttons to the right side of the sliders on the homepage like the demo? I did not see it in the documentation

words are added through the ‘call to action area’ on the themes home tab. Not sure about buttons or images… Hopefully Mehmet will enlighten us…

yes, I had said above I had achieved this with offset2 added into sliderhome-small.php in the editor.
I’m hoping you can help to make the slider box default smaller to hold 500×500 images. At the moment to make a square picture work in slider it has to be 870×870 which is quite large.
Really good theme by the way… really pleased with it :)

Tested, this works:
```
.flexslider img
{
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
```

I went from the Read theme to this one because I want my home page to be my lastest post along with having a slider at the time.

In other words, I want my blog to be my home page with a slider.

Similar to this site: http://bit.ly/GZbiG

Thanks

This is not possible by default, needs more further customization, you may consider working with a professional, if you are not familiar to WordPress coding.

This is a link to the home page: http://bit.ly/12mXMNy

As you can see in the slider their is a white text box that is way to close to the top of the picture, how do I move it?

Also, can their be a color change?

Thank Nick

Well it depends on what the photo looks like.

At times I would like it at the top left or right and at other times at the bottom left or right.

would i need code for all of this?

Well why did you suggest on where I would like to move the box if it stays in one point. Could you provide me an option that puts the box at the bottom?
