   first of all, great theme!

   second of all, we are trying to figure out how to make the theme and our desired user interface to work together.

   the situation: we have a photography section and within that section, we have 3 sub sections. at the moment, the 3 sub sections all show up as "portfolios" when you go to our photography page. and when you click one of the 3 sub sections, it goes to a slideshow with all of the sub section images.

   what we are trying to do: we would like to go to the photography page and rather than seeing only the sub sections, we would like to see all of our images tagged photography. is there a way to do this without having to create a portfolio for each individual image?

   thanks for any help!

   Hi,

   Try to create a single page then upload all of the tagged photography that you need. Then create a template on the Template Builder. Insert slideshow then select the newly created page with the images. I'm not sure if this is what you want, give it a try.

   Hi Ismael,

   My images are getting cropped in the slideshow. Can you please tell me how to fix this? I don't see an option for full frame when I upload the images or in the Template Builder.

   Here is the page:

   Thank you

   I updated the code in the functions.php file for ['imgSize']['featured'] to reflect the size my images are going to be (1000px x 667px), and then regenerated my thumbnails. It appears to be working, but is there a better way I should be doing this so that I don't lose formatting when I update the theme down the road?

   Thank you

   $avia_config['imgSize']['featured'] = array('width'=>1000, 'height'=>667, 'crop'=>true ); // images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider

   Hi mudskippir,

   I think its better to set your slideshow image to 1140 x 760px as it is the current dimension of your slider images.
   $avia_config['imgSize']['featured'] = array('width'=>1140, 'height'=>760, 'crop'=>true ); // images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider

   The best way I know is that before you update any theme make sure to backup the file (specially files with customizations such as functions.php and custom.css). After the update, you re-apply the changes you have made. Unless you don't really want that file to be replaced, you should set the permission to 444, but I don't really recommend this one.

   Hi Ismael,

   Thanks for the response. My original images are 1000 x 667, and I would like them to stay this size. Do you know what I need to do differently to ensure that they do not get as large as 1140 x 760?

   Thanks

   Hi mudskippir,

   The slider is already using that size, you can try to use firebug to check that. I think even though your image is stretched a bit, it still has a good quality so it's really okay if you don't change it. :)
