 * I am redesigning our site’s homepage, and I’m using a custom template for the
   new page.
 * [Here is the current homepage
    
   
    [Here’s the new page in progress:
 * I’m a novice at CSS and I’m not sure what I need to do to make the entire slider
   show up, even though it overflows its parent container.

 * Relevant section of the tempalte below:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /** Template name = NewsFeed
       */
   
       remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
       add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'sfs_do_resident_query' );
   
       function sfs_do_resident_query() {
   
           global $paged;
           global $query_args;
   
           // Show Residents
           $args = array(
               'posts_per_page' => '10',
               'post_status'    => 'publish',
       	'tag'		 => 'frontpage',
               'paged'          => $paged,
           );
       ?>
   
       <div style="float: left; width: 375px; text-align: left;">
       <?php
           genesis_custom_loop( wp_parse_args($query_args, $args) );
       ?>
   
       </div>
       <div style="float: right; overflow-x: visible; margin-top: 0px; position: relative; margin: 0 -420px -121px 0; z-index: 90;">
   
       	<?php echo do_shortcode('[metaslider id=693]');
       }
       	?>
       </div>
   
       <!-------Call rest of template------->
       <?php
       genesis()
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Like I said, I’m not a CSS or PHP expert, so there may be a more elegant way 
   to do this. All suggestions welcome.

 * Hi there,
 * It looks like slider has a ‘fixed’ position and also a negative z-index (in the
   CSS)
 * This means that the slider will remain in the same place on the page and that
   other elements will appear over the top (as they will likely have a higher z-
   index value).
 * Were you looking to alter either of these things or is there a separate issue?
 * Thanks,
    Dave
