Header slider not working properly.

[Fredrik Hansson]

Hi
I have followed the tutorial however. Ive made a slider demo that seem to work fine when inserted in a page however when using the advanced text widget inserting it in the header it comes out wrong

What can i be doing wrong?

In the attached link i have both slider in the page header and below the same slider in the page. Same link.

I think i found the reason but not the solution.
What should the PHP code look like in the Advanced text widget?

??

should be this:

[widgetkit id=24]

Then this happens…

Look further down in the page for the same slider..

[Fredrik Hansson]

Ah.. it seem to work but its of centered. Padding works fine with an image but not with the slider.

What happens if you put it into the Showcase widget position instead of the banner one?

[Fredrik Hansson]

Please advise. I can not get the slider to center align. It still place itself to the left and it seem to be enlarged. Photos in the slider are 1170×340. I have removed the “alllignnone” part in the code for the image in the slider.
If I choose to enter an image the header instead it places itself centered.
What can i have missed out on regarding the slider? I have followed every step in the instructions.

I think I found the issue and a possible solution…if this works for you then I will make it part of the next update.
Open the theme’s style.css and go to around line 870

img {
display: block;
max-width: 100%;
width: auto;
height: auto;
vertical-align: middle;
border: 0;
-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;
}

Change this:

display: block;

to:

display: inline-block

Then in the style.css around line 170

#banner-wrapper {
padding: 6px 0 0;
}

Add:

text-align: center;

I just tried this with a static image but not a slider, but we will see if it works on a slider as well. If not, we’re in the right direction and I will keep at it until it does get centered.

Thanks you.
Sorry but I had to make the page work and have rough demo by yesterday evening. I had to change theme.
I cannot change back now , I have passes point of no return. However thanks for the reply and I hope that you implement it for further use if needed.

Does the encounter slide show also work in preference?
Or what I would like to know is can I use it in this theme?

[Sushil Adhikari]

@Annick….the Encounters and Preference demo sites (front page) are using the same slideshow. The only difference is the styling for it, but yes, it does, hence the live demo sites 🙂

Preference: http://demo.styledthemes.com/preference/
