    I have a slideshow that was originally created by a now retired web designer. I want to add new slides to the show, which was successful; however, the dimensions to that image are wrong and creates extra space between the slideshow and the text, which wasn’t there before.

    I tried to “scale image” to the size of slideshow dimensions by clicking on the “edit image” link when the image is selected from the “set feature image” screen, but when I type in one dimension, it automatically resizes the other dimension and won’t let me customize it.

    In other words, I want my image to be 730X300 (the size of my slideshow), but when I type in 730 in one of the box, the number 548 automatically appears in the other box.

    Can you please help?

  • You need to do that in an image editor, not in wordpress. Try http://pixlr.com/editor/ open your image(s) , go to image/image size and resize your image to 730×300. Actually the cropping may be better than resizing, depending on what you need to do (image / canvas size).

    @podxt Thanks for helping out with support!

    I am trying to use Meteor Slides in a page with 2014 Extended theme. I initially had some trouble with the height not being what I wanted it to be (525px), but then I realized I had published the slides first. So I deleted the page, the slideshow and the slides, then recreated the slides. The slides now show a size of 774X525, which is perfect. I then created a new slideshow and inserted the slides, then a new page and inserted the short code. I’m still getting slides that are roughly an inch and a half tall, when I think they should be more like 5 inches tall. Here is a link to the show. Any ideas?

    @giambed Can you post a link so I can take a look?

    Sorry Josh, I tinkered around with this a bit more and got it to work. First I thought it was because I had sized my pictures outside of WP, so I sized them on my desktop rather than scaling them in WP. I also saved them as PNG’s. Originally they were JPG’s. One of those 2 things seemed to do the trick, although now it seems to work even when I try to recreate the problem! Meteor Slides is working perfectly for me now. Thank you so much.
