Something has changed in the LayerSlider. At many screen sizes I now have images and text truncated at the right hand side, whereas yesterday they were fine.
I had already corrected any issues there by making sure that any text was at least 130px (I think) clear of the right hand side. I now see the slides off centre and images cropped at the right.Hi Tim!
Perhaps you set a fixed width value in the slide settings instead of 100%.
Send us a WordPress login and we’ll take a look.

ElliottNo, it 100% with a height fixed at 477 px, and responsive when under 1200 px wide. It was behaving fine until today.
I’ll send the logonHi!
I changed the responsive under and layers container options. It should be fine now.
Best regards,
ElliottThank you Elliott. Thats improved although not quite right yet.
On larger screens everything has shifted to the right, and in factprotrude off to the right at certain screen sizes, and on small screens elements are protruding beyond the left edge.Do you have any idea how it happened ? that might be useful to know.
I’ll have a look and try and understand how you fixed it also, that is also useful knowledge – tomorrow morning now, I have to go out.Hi!
In your layers you have all of the text and images set with pixel values from the left side. You’ll want to change that so they are set with percentages, 50%, 75%, etc etc.
Best regards,
ElliottThey worked perfectly until two days ago. The elements set with pixel values were not a problem – although it resized in a series of steps and I needed to leave a certain margin at the edges, all of the elements stayed in their relative place and stayed within the frame. this has had me checking the page width and also the height of the slider because it is appearing at a whole different aspect ratio, but I haven’t changed any of these things, and after checking they are as they should be.
The background images are not within the frame.I checked as i started seeing the proportions had changed and it looks like the problem is that the themes settings under ‘General Layout’ are not being obeyed. It is a boxed layout with maximum container width set at 1,310 px, but when I check the page width it is only 1,100 px. It looks like the slider is still behaving as if it’s in a page of 1,310, as it says in the settings.
The whole thing looks a mess at the moment.
I changed the container back to it’s dimension, that was not the issue.
I went to look at FireBug in FireFox and the site looks fine in FireFox, so I checked in IE (it’s v.11) and it’s fine there too. So it looks like it’s a Chrome issue that has appeared in the last 2-3 days. I don’t know when Chrome updated on my computer as it’s automatic. i now have Version 39.0.2171.95 m.Hey!
It’s displaying the same in all browsers on my end. If you switch the left values to percentages or reduce their values a bit then they will fit inside the container. Or like you said you can increase the width of your site a bit more in Dashboard > Enfold > General Layout > Dimensions.

ElliottWhat I was saying is that the site is already set at 1310 width, but that it was not showing at that width in Chrome.
I’ve looked today and it is back to normal in Chrome, as in the other browsers.
It is a complete mystery to me. I run multiple instances of Chrome (different Users) so I don’t think it was due to local caching. The slide show was messed up for 2-3 days although I hadn’t changed anything related, and now it’s fixed itself – I don’t understand it at all but there is no problem at the moment
Thanks for the tip about percentages rather than pixels, I’ve taken it on-board but will leave it as it is for now as I have other draws on my time.Hey!
Customers were saying this happened to them also with the latest WordPress update. If you reset the value to whatever you had it before though then it should save correctly.
Regards,
Elliott
