Adjusting Slider Width – Associate

[seminolecrew]

Here is my sitewww.irvinecoltsbaseball.com/wordpress

I decided not to use the Genesis Slider because the client didn't want a "post" slider, but rather just an image slider. So I found one called Meteor Slider in the plugins, that allows you to use it as a widget. It has a settings panel allowing you to adjust the width and height. I can get the height adjusted, but whenever I try to make the width bigger, it won't size. Do you see how there is a bigger gap of white space on the white side than the left? The original default for the Genesis slider was 870 px wide. I tried bumping my settings up to 880. But there remains that larger space on the right. Do I need to change some CSS somewhere? Any help would be appreciated. Ultimately my goal is to have the same border width on the right AND on the left. Thanks!

Well, the image in the slider is 880px wide, but the div is 910. Can you try setting the width of the slider to 910, maybe, and uploading an image that is that size also?

Alternatively, if you can override the meteor styling by adding this to your own style.css:
div.meteor-slides {
margin: 0 auto;
}
then it should center. You might have to add !important to the rule--hard to tell from this end. But that makes the slider center for me at its current width. HTH

Hey There Seminolecrew and Robin,

I used Genesis Responsive Slider and put in just photos. It was actually easy and I did it because I didn't know you couldn't and that it was intended for posts not photos!!

What I did was just posted photos, made the category "slider" and plugged those "posts" into the slider. Piece of cake.

(soon we plan to change those still photos to video, so if you check this later and it's changed, that's what it did.)
