    Newbie here.

    How do I add a border around the slideshow?

    Add if you say I need to add a custom slideshow template

    Copy meteor-slideshow.php from /meteor-slides/ to your theme’s directory to replace the plugin’s default slideshow template.

    1. to copy meteor-slideshow.php from /meteor-slides, where is this? Where do I go to copy the file, exactly?

    2. How exactly do I copy the copied file to the directory? Where exactly?

    Finally, how do I add that border? 🙂

    Thanks and sorry for the newbie questions.

    Mark

    Hi Mark, you’re close, but you need to update the stylesheet, not the template.

    If you are installing Meteor Slides right from WordPress, you can download a copy to your computer from the directory. Grab the the meteor-slides.css file from there (it’s in the CSS folder). Edit that file in a text editor. Edit the first entry:

    .meteor-slides {
	margin: 0;
	overflow: hidden;
	padding: 0;
	position: relative;
	z-index: 1;
}

    Like if you wanted a thin black border, you’d change it like this:

    .meteor-slides {
	border: solid 1px #000;
	margin: 0;
	overflow: hidden;
	padding: 0;
	position: relative;
	z-index: 1;
}

    All you have to do is use FTP to upload that file into your theme’s folder, which will be in wp-content/themes.

    I want to put a border around the images, rather than the slideshow, since my images are all the same width but different lengths. So, I altered the CSS like this:

    .meteor-slides .mslide img {
    border: solid 1px #98ccfe;
    display: block;
    margin: auto !important;
    padding: 0;
}

    The border shows up on three sides: top, bottom and left. Why?

    Hi, I have tried to use light grey colors, dotted rather then solid but the border remains dark? I would like a very light border.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Hmmm sees ok now, may have been a cache issue?
