    Hey,

    I am trying to customize the outreach pro theme. I have everything where I want it except for 2 things. I want the slider at the top to be full width and not the width of the content. I have tried to make it full width and I just cant seem to get it to work. The other thing is the 4 boxes right below the slider, I want them to be half over the slider n half not. I tried using z-index and it did not do anything it just appeared under the slider. Hope someone can help.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    You have to make your upper wrap 100%. You can add this to your theme's style.css file:

    
    .home .site-inner > .wrap {
        width: 100%;
        max-width: 100%;
    }
    

    You'll have to adjust the slider settings as needed, but that will give you 100% width.

    To bring the four boxes into the slider, around line 2251 of your theme's style.css, add a negative top margin and position:

    
    #featured-page-2, 
    #featured-page-3, 
    #featured-page-4, 
    #featured-page-5 {
        background-color: #1f3f7c;
        color: #ffffff;
        margin-top: -200px;
        padding: 10px;
        position: relative;
    }
    

    Change the -200 to whatever you need. You'll also have to make the necessary changes for responsive (setting margin-top back to 0, etc).

    Hope that helps!

    Tony
