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?

Please read the theme documentation.

[pcrow]

I have no theme documentation.

[Mehmet S.]

The documentation is in the downloaded package.

[pcrow]

got it thanks :)
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?

[jedretzka]

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

[pcrow]

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…

[jedretzka]

interesting. thank you — in addition, how to you center the images if you don’t want words next to them??

[pcrow]

Mehmet can I change the slider box to square and have this centred on the home page?

[Mehmet S.]

Paste to Theme Settings > Style > Custom CSS:

.flexslider { text-align: center; }

[pcrow]

did not work :(

also, can I changer the homepage slider box size using square images?

[Mehmet S.]

Try this:

.flexslider { text-align: center !important; }

[pcrow]

no, still nothing

[pcrow]

just to double check, does it matter if I use small or big slider option PLUS I would still like to resize slider on my homepage to take images 500 x500 px
Many thanks

got slider centered with
in editor / sliderhome-small.php
I replaced

div class=”flex-container main-slider main-slider-narrow span8″

with

div class=”flex-container main-slider main-slider-narrow span8 offset2″

just need help with a resize of slider if possible

Can you provide a screenshot?

[pcrow]

what do you want a screenshot of? code/editor or the homepage?

[Mehmet S.]

Homepage, the slider with your images.

[pcrow]

homepage is here http://www.philcrow.com

[Mehmet S.]

You had made it centered.

[pcrow]

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 :)

[Mehmet S.]

Tested, this works:

.flexslider img
{
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

[pcrow]

works brilliantly. Thanks Mehmet!

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

[Mehmet S.]

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.

[nelisseos]

Made a custom page that represents my blog and set that has my homepage with a slider, thanks for your help

[nelisseos]

How do I move the text box that is on the slider?

Is their a way to change the font and white color of the box?

Thanks

[Mehmet S.]

Sorry, I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking? Can you provide a screenshot.

[nelisseos]

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

[Mehmet S.]

Where do you want to move it?

[nelisseos]

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?

[Mehmet S.]

It stays in one point for all time.

[nelisseos]

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?

[Mehmet S.]

.flex-caption { top: auto; bottom: 0px; }
