   Hi,

   Can I increase the height of the slideshow window on the homepage so that I can display images that are 850 x 567 instead of 850 x 400?

   Thanks,

   Mat

   Hey,
   open up style.css and add following code:
   

   #top.home div .slideshowBig{
   height: 567px;
   }

   and adjust the height value. Afterwards open up functons.php and define a new image size. Replace:

   $k_option['custom']['imgSize']['XL'] = array('width'=>850, 'height'=>400); // big images for fullsize pages and mainpage slider

   with:
   

   $k_option['custom']['imgSize']['XL'] = array('width'=>850, 'height'=>400);		// big images for fullsize pages and mainpage slider
   $k_option['custom']['imgSize']['XXL'] = array('width'=>850, 'height'=>400);		// big images for homepage

   and adjust the height value of the second entry (XXL) accordingly. At least open up display_featured_media.php

   and replace:
   

   else
    		{
       	 //get full sized preview image for the first post, inject it before the actual post so it displays above the sidebar as well
       		$big_prev_image =kriesi_featured_images($post->ID,
       												array(	'size'=> 'XL',
       														'link' => $linking_behaviour,
       														'ul_attr'=>array('class'=>'slideshow slideshowBig featured_container'.$counter)
       													  ));
       	}

   with:
   

   else if(is_home())
    		{
       	 //get full sized preview image for the first post, inject it before the actual post so it displays above the sidebar as well
       		$big_prev_image =kriesi_featured_images($post->ID,
       												array(	'size'=> 'XXL',
       														'link' => $linking_behaviour,
       														'ul_attr'=>array('class'=>'slideshow slideshowBig featured_container'.$counter)
       													  ));
       	}else{
       	 //get full sized preview image for the first post, inject it before the actual post so it displays above the sidebar as well
       		$big_prev_image =kriesi_featured_images($post->ID,
       												array(	'size'=> 'XL',
       														'link' => $linking_behaviour,
       														'ul_attr'=>array('class'=>'slideshow slideshowBig featured_container'.$counter)
       													  ));
       	}

   I think I have managed to correct the problem. However, despite having followed all the instructions, the image is still displaying at 800 x 400 and not 850 x 567 - http://www.substancephotography.co.uk

   Anything I have missed?

   Hi. I know you're busy but if you could spare a few minutes to help me correct this problem. The images are still not displaying at 850 x 567. Not sure why. I have followed all instructions.

   Cheers.
   P.S. Sorry about the capitals in the heading, I do it just so I can more easily find my replies.
