Centering your slideshow

    Hi everyone. A few people have been asking me how to center align their slideshows, especially as the v2.0 update has re-aligned what was previously centered.

    For center alignment, there is a simple fix. Simply use the shortcode below:

    <div align="center">[easingsliderlite]</div>

    That should do the trick. In the future, we will be adding a shortcode attribute for this. Until then, use this!

    Matthew.

    In the theme file you want to display the slideshow in. Index.php, header.php, page.php, etc. Definitely not functions.php or easing-slider/easingsliderlite.php!

    Fixed. Thank you for your help.

    No problem at all ??

    Hi,
    First thank you for taking the time to offer all this help.
    I’m not having success with the two options though, probably because I don’t exactly understand your instructions.

    I tried inserting this into my home page, is that right? If so it did not work.

    <div align=”center”>[easingsliderlite]</div>

    Second, I tried inserting this code into my index.php without success.

    <div align=”center”>
    <?php if ( function_exists( ‘easingsliderlite’ ) ) { easingsliderlite(); } ?>
    </div>

    p.s. a link to my site vavisuals.com

    Hi @viv85e, I think I see the issue. Your theme’s content area is restricted in width only allowing the slideshow to span to the dimensions it currently is.

    You’ll need to find this line in your “index.php” file:

    <!-- start leftcol -->
<div class="eleven columns" id="leftcol">

    And change it to:

    <!-- start leftcol -->
<div class="sixteen columns" id="leftcol">

    Then, try inserting the centered code into the theme file again. Should work this time ??

    Yessss. Still tweaking some things but you’ve put me back on track with the site and saved me some headaches. Gracias!

    This article very useful. I managed to hit the slider.
    But now how do you set a variable width and not fixed?
    In the parameters of the plugin you can only set a pixel width?
    I want it to be responsive.

    Thank you

    @eln2, the option for making the slideshow is underneath the width and height values. See this screenshot.

    Thank you for your reply!
    Yes, but I would not want to set fixed values??.
    I wish that the slide the practice spreads to 100% of the page.

    When responsive, the width and height values are “maximums”. The slideshow will resize until it reaches the maximum width and height. It isn’t possible to make it infinitely wide and high because the image resizing needs specified dimensions to work from.

    If the maximum width of your site is 960px, for example, set the slideshows width to that.

    Ok thank you very much. You’re very kind.

    Hey Matthew, I’d love you help on this. I just updated the plug-in from version 1.? & it got all wonky.

    I didn’t build this page (and am mostly doing user admin stuff), but occasionally I get all fancy & update plug-ins. So anyway… the website is insacredbalance.com.

    There was not a white frame border before and not sure why its there now, or how to get rid of it.

    Thanks for any help you can provide!
    Tim
