metaslider images wrong sizes & navigation issue

Hi there,

It looks like you’re using Jetpack’s Photon feature which is resizing the images.

If you disable this you should find it resolves the issue.

The navigation text is hidden by default – would you like it to be displayed in addition to the arrows or instead of?

Thanks,
Dave

That was it – thank you SO much!!!

With regard to navigation text – I would like to display it in addition to the arrows.

One last question – is it possible to add a slide count feature below the slides (is this referred to as pagination?) – i.e. 1/53, 2/53, 3/53 etc.?

Again, thank you for your help – and for responding so quickly.

Hi there,

It would be tricky to display both text and image as the image needs to be set at a width and height of 30px which doesn’t allow enough room for the text plus it would overlay the image.

You could create images that have the text as part of it but this isn’t ideal.

Or you could have just the text without the images but visually this isn’t as appealing.

Regarding the image count/pagination, take a look here:

OK, so I would add this to my theme’s functions.php file, right? And would I just paste this code to the end of the file? Thanks.

Yes that’s right, adding it to the bottom of the file is a good idea.

Thanks,
Dave

You’re a genius! But of course you probably already know that. the modification to the php file worked and the slide count feature looks great. Thank you!!!

I understand about not being able to add “previous” and “next” in addition to the arrows, but if my client wants to use the text instead of the arrows, how can I make that happen? I tried unchecking “arrows” but that did not make the text appear. What step or setting am I missing?

Hi,

To display the text only try adding the following CSS:

.metaslider .flex-direction-nav a {
    background:none;
    text-indent:0;
    width:auto;
}

Thanks,
Dave

Beautiful! Thank you!!
