    Hi,

    There’s no forum for Biz Boost so posting here as maybe the closest thing…

    When I select a page as one of the sliders, that page’s Featured Image gets pulled in as the slider image. But it’s getting cropped & scaled. What is the ideal size and aspect ratio for a slider image?

    I really only want the first slider as part of my static front page design. But when I set it up that way, there is still a light grey box on the right where the next slider would be. How can I get rid of that?

    Finally, I don’t want the Learn More button in that first slider to go to that page. I’d like to get rid of it or have it go someplace else.

    The site’s temporary development location is

    Thanks

    Hello,

    Regarding your query, you can add the image of size 1280*1024 in the featured image of the post/page which you want to show in the slider section.

    Further, you can add below given CSS following the path Admin Panel > Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS to remove the next slider shadow in the main slider.

    .home #introduction-section .wrapper:after {
        display: none;
    }

    You can add below given CSS following the path Admin Panel > Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS to remove the button from the slider.

    #introduction-section .wrapper .buttons { 
       display: none;
    }

    Hope this helps.

    Regards.

    Thanks! Those CSS snippets did the trick.

    But the 1280*1024 image seems too big for the box. If I scale it down, maintaining that same aspect ratio, the theme seems to be scaling it back up. Maybe my question is either how to get the theme to stop scaling the image or how can I make that image box bigger?

    No matter what size image I put in there, it’s cutting off the top and bottom. I think I need to vertically grow that blue field. The only way I’ve found to do that is put a lot of text into the title area of the home page. I’ve tried spacers and other attempts at putting something “invisible” on the home page but that blue field only seems to react to the title, which is just a short phrase.

    Thanks!

    I stretched the top of the image and put as much text as possible in as the title. But I’d still like to solve this by growing the blue area by itself.

    It looks like the theme is trying to focus on the center of the image within a slider. My image has a face in the top third and was getting cut off. So I extended the top of the image with Photoshop to put the face in the vertical middle. I also put more text in as the page title to grow the blue field. This was even more complicated because the amount getting cut off varied by screen size.

    I was able to make it work but I think there should be a bit more control in how the sliders display their images.
