 * 1. I’ll specify the Image Link URL:
    ex: [http://www.somesite.com/subsitename/2014/09/01/the-florida-keys-an-intriguing-arts-destination/](http://www.somesite.com/subsitename/2014/09/01/the-florida-keys-an-intriguing-arts-destination/)
 * 2. When I look at the rendered HTML I get two different hrefs, the second oneis
   a dud link..it adds CPT to the link string:
 *     ```
       <div id="5729" class="item next left">
       <a href="http://www.somesite.com/subsitename/2014/09/29/first-look-the-art-collection-at-park-hyatt-new-york/"></a>
       <a title="Title Name" href="http://www.somesite.com/subsitename/cptbc/first-look-the-art-collection-at-park-hyatt-new-york/">
       <img class="attachment-full wp-post-image" width="1740" height="1030" alt="serra_2resized" src="http://somesite.com/imagename.jpeg" scale="0">
       </a>
       <div class="carousel-caption">...
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Is the only workaround to add an html link in the excerpt for now?
 * Separate issue, but I tried to use the background image option to compensate 
   for this problem. Fixes the linking but the background image does not size appropriately
   like images.

 * Hm, it’s become clear that I’ve got a function that is creating that issue. It’s
   a function to auto wrap featured thumbnails with links. I’ll have to figure out
   a way around this. Thanks. I think you can close this issue.

 * Hi Jason,
 * Glad you tracked the problem down, good luck with fixing it. Regarding the background
   images issue, that feature is new and relatively untested at the moment, so if
   it’s doing weird stuff let me know and I’ll look into it.
 * Cheers,

 * Thanks! The background image appears as a different size than the image version.
   It would be cool if they behaved to look exactly the same.

 * Oh ok.. This is kind of the point of the background image mode – to stretch /
   crop each image to fit the space available in the carousel (with the manual height
   adjustment). Just use the default mode if you want to see the entire image.. 
   Or am I not understanding you correctly?

 * I had it at default. But the background images were not positioned right and 
   I did specify the height (does there need to be an auto height, or blank for 
   that to work correctly?)

 * Ah ok – if you’re not using the background images mode then the height value 
   doesn’t do anything (apologies, this isn’t very clear – the settings page has
   been rewritten in the new dev version to help with this). On the default mode
   the images show as they are – if they’re narrower than the carousel they won’t
   stretch to fit the width, and the carousel height will change according to the
   varying heights. In other words, you need to adjust your images to fit the carousel
   before uploading.
 * The background-resize mode aims to get around this by using a different technique.
   The height is set manually and fixed, then the images are stretched / cropped
   accordingly.
 * Does this make sense?

 * I think so. I’ll hold off until you release the new version. Sounds like you’ve
   addressed this in the new version coming up!

 * Ok, cool. You can grab the dev code from github if you’d like: [https://github.com/ewels/cpt-bootstrap-carousel](https://github.com/ewels/cpt-bootstrap-carousel)
 * I still have a couple of extra things that I want to work out before I push the
   next release and I’m pretty busy at the moment, so not sure exactly when I’ll
   find the time to sit down and get that out.
