On abundance frontpage, I want to put static text and a small unlinked image to the right of the slider. It needs to be only as tall as the slider, 362px tall, not a full length sidebar. The text would replace the three featured category image links that were there initially (if I remember right). Content underneath the slider and text will be full width, no sidebars. The slideshow is set to 'fade slider (size depends on page layout)' and the images that go in there are 703 px wide.

Can you help me get text next to the slider please?
Thanks!

Hello,

On your custom.css, put this code
```
.container.slideshow_big {
padding: 23px 23px 0 23px;
width: 703px;
margin: 0 0 !important;
}
```
Then open functions.php, find this code

$avia_config['imgSize']['featured'] = array('width'=>930, 'height'=>340); // big images for fullsize pages and fullsize 2D & 3D slider

Replace it with

$avia_config['imgSize']['featured'] = array('width'=>703, 'height'=>340); // big images for fullsize pages and fullsize 2D & 3D slider

Then you can open header.php and find this code.
```
//display slideshow big if one is available
				if(!empty($avia_config['slide_output'])) echo "<div class='container slideshow_big'>".$avia_config['slide_output']."</div>";
```
Create a new div below containing the static text and the image. I guess you need to style it with an absolute position. Or place it inside the slideshow_big container.

Regards,
Ismael

Thank you Ismael. I may try this in the future. In the meantime I added the text to the slideshow image and used the slideshow at it's full width. That makes the image files bigger so your solution is probably better for faster load time.

Really appreciate your support.
