    How can I increase the slideshow photo size on featured posts? predetermined size is 720×340 and I need it to be over 1000 because i use the maximun layout and the photos quality looks bad

    Hi m4tl4s. The default width for the flexslider is the content area width minus 60px of padding (30px right and left). If you don’t have any sidebars it should fill the content area width. Can you post a link to your site? Thanks.

    https://hiphopandrnb.com/ I have not posted yet, it’s a new site but i forgot to say that i only want the home with 1 column, the global layout is 2 column right so i just need the flexslider image can be 1080px at least

    In Theme Options > Layout, set the Home page to the full page layout. This should give you a flexslider the width of the content area, with two columns of posts below it. If you want only one column of posts then set Theme Options > Blog > Standard Blog List to ON.

    i know, the flexslider in home is with full page layout but the featured image size uploaded is still 720×340 and it looks blurred because the full lenght is 1060×500

    look, i just added an example post: https://hiphopandrnb.com/

    I guess my eyes aren’t good enough to see it. The slider image looks ok to me. I even zoomed the browser to 150% and it still looks ok. I’m only using a 23″ monitor so maybe that has something to do with it. In any case, if you know you’re slider is always going to be that size, you could do one of two things:
    1. Reset the default theme thumbnail-large size, then regenerate your thumbnails. That would create a new thumbnail of 1060×500 but it might actually be as blurred as what you see now. The other downside is, wherever “thumbnail-large” is used in the theme, that size thumbnail would be used although it would probably be scaled down.
    2. You could register a new thumbnail size and call it, say, my-big-thumbnail, then upload images that were larger than that size to create new thumbnails, then edit the php file that displays the slider to use “my-big-thumbnail”.
    A bit of work no matter how you look at it. Might even get to the point where this theme is not the best fit for what you’re trying to accomplish.
