    Hi,

    First of all, I am a bit frustrated by the lack of documentation and support on the LayerSlider website. It leaves a lot to be desired.

    I created a full width slider, but the problem is that the preview screen never shows the full width proportions of my image. This makes it very tedious to try and set up the slide because I can’t see where elements will end up?

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Hi xuamox,

    I’m not sure, please link to the site in question and try to explain a bit further as to what is going wrong.

    Hi Rikard,

    Thank you so much for responding.

    Here is a link to a screenshot of my admin area with LayerSlider WP slide admin open.

    What I am referring to is that my image is 1903 x 730, but on the editor, the window that shows the background image is much smaller, and does not match the proportions of my image. Just trying to figure out if there is a way to change that, or if that is a limitation of the plugin?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,

    There is a zoom slider located at the top of the preview. You can adjust the value there.

    Hi Ismael,

    I realize that there is a zoom slider there, but it does not use the same aspect ratio as the images that you use. For example, I could upload an image witha 16:9 ratio, and the preview will not display at that ratio. It uses a different ratio, which makes it hard to visualize the end result.

    It’s seems that when you preview the slider you get the correct proportions, but when you are working on the slider, the size is not the same aspect ratio as the slider image.

    Hi,

    I’m sorry but we didn’t create the plugin and honestly we didn’t see any problem with it while we’re creating the theme demo. This is actually the first time someone noticed the “ratio” in the slider preview. The workaround is to add the layer slider in a temporary page and then open it on another tab while working on the layer slider editor. You can then see the actual results by refreshing the page.

    Hi!

    One LayerSlider user, Mike, kindly provided his solution. Please see below

    To solve his screen width problem, he needs to do the following:

    1. Get into Layer Slider, open a slide set and then click on Slider Settings.

    2. Under ‘Layout’, look for the heading ‘Full-width slider settings’ and, under that, the item ‘Layers container’. He will see the note alongside which explains what he is experiencing. It says that this setting : “Creates an invisible inner container with the given dimension in pixels to hold and center your layers.”

    This setting works in all cases – whether Full Width is selected or not.

    When this slide width setting is increased or decreased, it shows more or less of the slide (horizontally) depending on the adjustment. All horizontal layer-element positions are measured from the left side of this invisible container. So as the container is widened or narrowed, all layered elements move to the left or to the right with the left wall. All he has to do is change this setting to match the width of his slider images and he will see the whole slide in its proper perspective.

    In full width mode, another setting also comes into play with some unexpected effects on the presentation of the slides on a screen that is above the responsive size. That is the setting just above that one called ‘Responsive under’ . This setting’s description says “Turns on responsive mode in a full-width slider under the specified value in pixels. Can only be used with full-width mode”.

    I was using some really long thin slides – 1900 x 500 pixels and the end were cut off by the edge of the screen, as would be expected when maintaining a 500 pixel height. However, the more that I increase this ‘Responsive under’ setting in Full Screen mode, the more of the slides’ hidden sides come into view, narrowing the height in proportion until the whole slide is in view at a 1900 pixel setting and the slide height has narrowed to about 453 pixels. This obviously affects the placement of the animated layers on the screen as well.

    Your customer also complains about the lack of documentation. With the purchased version, I received some documentation in which the vendor, Kreatura Media says under ‘Using the Slider Builder’ : “Always read the tooltips messages. Due to space efficiency we’re using tooltips for describing what each options exactly does. Just place your mouse cursor over an option and a tooltip message will appear with additional information.”

    Cheers!
