 * I feel your pain, Mike… that’s why I scuttled the original home page and went
   with a static page I could control. Of course, this was for my son’s tutoring
   site… not one of my commercial sites that needs the more polished look and feel.
 * FYI… WP-Cycle was created by Nathan Rice [http://www.nathanrice.net/](http://www.nathanrice.net/)
   who works for Copyblogger Media… this company fairly recently acquired StudioPress.
   com, the creators of the Genesis Framework I referenced previously. One of the
   advantages of staying loyal to a specific framework is that you have access to
   another community aside from WordPress.org (which is wonderful) that can frequently
   offer more direct theme support. However, when I tried to troubleshoot my original
   problem with WP-Cycle, I got no love… none… zilch. Unless I wanted to pay Nathan
   a small fee to answer my question. I didn’t.
 * It never hurts to send an email to the plugin developer directly [http://stefanboonstra.com/&#8230](http://stefanboonstra.com/&#8230);
   most are very helpful and some do charge a little… I imagine because they get
   bombarded with questions otherwise. The sad thing is… it’s probably something
   simple, but it’s probably also something specific to the plugin… I’m guessing.

 * Okay… your issue may be above my pay grade as I mostly use child themes from 
   the Genesis Framework so I’m not as familiar with the structure of TrueThemes.
 * What I did on my site was easier because I didn’t want the long slider slideshow
   so I used a static webpage with some widgets and customized the slideshows plugin
   to fit the size of my static homepage so I didn’t have to alter anything in CSS.
   Have you checked the CSS for the slideshow parameters? I’m wondering if the dimensions
   are still set for the WP-Cycle plugin as it was setup in the original template
   which is much more narrow than the new slideshow plugin you’re currently using.
   If you haven’t already looked there, that’s where’d I start.
 * If you’ve already tried that… I’d probably start a new thread and hopefully get
   more input from an experience moderator. Hope that helps… fingers crossed for
   you.

 * And are you sure you loaded the same plugin I’m using… there’s so many to pick
   from…

 * Hi Mike… what’s your web address. It might help if I can see what it’s doing…
   happy to help if I can.

 * Thanks everyone… neither of those ideas worked so I went straight to the source
   and was told it was a CSS problem, but wasn’t given any way to resolve the issue
   so I downloaded a different slideshow plugin called “slideshow” and it works 
   great. Thanks again for your input. That’s what’s great about WP… if one plugin
   doesn’t work… just go find another.

 * One other thing to mention. I tried putting a non-breaking space between the 
   WP-Cycle and the text, but it leaves a rather obvious gap between the slideshow
   and the images and a huge gap in IE.
