Slider image size

[chrisdodge]

Hi. I love the Leaf theme, but I'm having trouble with the sizing of the images in my slider. For some reason it only renders a very small image of the images in my post and then leaves the rest of the image area grey. You can take a look at my site at www.whattodoinottawa.com to see what I mean.

Looking forward to resolving this issue. Any help that you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Chris, set a featured image on your post bigger than 720px X 320px.

Hi Brad ... thanks for your response. I tried what you recommended and for some reason when I modify the scale of the image I get an error flag ("!") and it resorts back to the smaller size. When you visit my site (www.whattodoinottawa.com ...note: it's still in setup mode) ... you can see how the iView Slider image is smaller than the grey background area. My goal is to have the image fill the entire grey space, like the demo version of the Leaf template. Any other thoughts on how to rectify this bug. I also deactivated each plugin to see if it made a difference and it doesn't seem to have an impact. Any hep you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Can you explain everything you did when you received the error?

Brad is there a minimum image size that I should be using so that it covers the entire iView slider area (grey background)? I seemed to get one image to work now after I "reset" the theme options.

Thanks,
Chris
