You can adjust the dimensions in functions.php however the result will be wired. So basically the crossfade slider is the only/best option in your case. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-as-a-banner#post-29400 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 11:57:36 +0000 Dzordz 29400@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>That is the accordian slider :)<br /> Crossfade slider works with one picture only. </p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-as-a-banner#post-29360 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 04:57:05 +0000 Dude 29360@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>The newsitems slider isn't the right slider for banners (imho) because it would require some changes to remove the item list. I'd use the standard slider (or the accordion) instead. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-as-a-banner#post-29314 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 10:23:34 +0000 Dzordz 29314@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Dude,</p> <p>my concern is with this space circled in red. <a href="http://tinypic.com/r/2mfaofo/7" rel="nofollow">http://tinypic.com/r/2mfaofo/7</a><br /> The thumbnails are OK but the slider looks like this when you have only 1 article selected.</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-as-a-banner#post-29310 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 09:10:40 +0000 Dude 29310@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> Basically the steps above are correct however you need to create one post per slide because you can only apply one featured image to one post. You can adjust the thumbnail sizes in functions.php. Afterwards you need to regenerate them with: wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/ </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-as-a-banner#post-29303 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 07:45:34 +0000 Dzordz 29303@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Ahhh forgot to ask what is the size of the slider space?</p> <p>Been testing and it seems all pictures get resized to a size about 200px narrower than the slider when put as featured. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/slider-as-a-banner#post-29302 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 07:44:29 +0000 Dzordz 29302@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Been tinkering around and just need to confirm.</p> <p>How to get the slider to work as a banner:<br /> * Get a big enough picture to cover the whole size the slider space<br /> * Create a category with only one post<br /> * Create a post in the Category and put the picture as featured<br /> * Select only 1 featured in slider and only the specific category</p> <p>There should be only 1 picture but when you hover it still does that thing like it wants to change pictures, but still not bad.</p> <p>Am I correct? </p>
