[Plugin: Meteor Slides] slideshow moved up/right after 1.5 install

    After the 1.5 upgrade, my slideshow has shifted up and to the right, slightly! Site url: http://www.bowercenter.org/
    I have made no changes to the settings, and added no new slides. Slide size is 267×179, and used to be positioned perfectly in the center of that space… i.e., there was a red border on all 4 sides that approximated the border around the logo.
    I use the Weaver theme and have always had this custom CSS for the show:
    /* right justify slideshow overlaying header image */

    .meteor-slides {
	margin: 12px 12px 12px 0;
	padding: 0;
	position: relative;
	z-index: 1;
	overflow: hidden;
	float: right;
}

    Using Chrome/Inspect Element, the slide size displays 182 rather than 179. I don’t understand that, but since I haven’t fooled with this since last fall, I can’t say for sure that this is different than before.
    And as may already be obvious, I’m not at all adept with CSS!
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Addendum to my previous post: there is one other bit of custom CSS for the slideshow in the Weaver advanced options:
    <div style="position: absolute; float: right; top: -4px; right: 0px;">[meteor_slideshow slideshow="header"]</div>

    OK… never mind! I fiddled with that last bit of code and it’s now positioned correctly again… changed the top/right pixels as below:
    <div style="position: absolute; float: right; top: 8px; right: 10px;">[meteor_slideshow slideshow="header"]</div>
    Still don’t understand why the install caused this issue, if you have any input on that. Thanks.

    That’s strange, not sure what caused that, but I’m glad to hear you got it figured out!

    Hello JLeuze!

    I have quite the same problem: my site
    My slideshow should be the exact size the header is: 1050px width/288px height. Instead, after the 1.5 version update … it looks like you can see in the link above.. 🙁
    I use WordPress 3.3.2.
    Can you help me with that, please? 😐

    @engl9253 The title and description are floated to the left and right and are floating the slideshow as well. Add a clear before the slideshow to fix this:

    <div style="clear:both;"></div>

    thanks a lot! I’ll do that, but.. where, in the style.css? file?
    I am using a child theme…

    and it looks like this:

    #headerimage {
	width: 100%;
	clear: both;
	}
<?php if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow(); } ?>

    …

    I added the line, just before the slide, but.. no change.. 🙁

    #headerimage {
	width: 100%;
	clear: both;
	}
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<?php if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow(); } ?>

    The slideshow template tag doesn’t go in the stylesheet, it should be in your header.php file. The above code has inline CSS, put it right before the template tag.
