Hi, i would like to know how i can make my featured images uniform
i.e. stop the images from altering the size of the featured slider box
which causes the tex to below to continually adjust?
many thanks

The featured slider recommended size is Width: 644px and Height: 320px. If you have image with this size then it’s perfect or if you have larger then this then it will crop to this size. But if you have featured image smaller than this, then it will display the original size of image.

Thanks for the reply and your absoulutely correct but i’ve been looking at the image slider and it actually seems like the text is causing the screen to constantly adjust. Is it possible to control the amount of text that is previewed in order to stop thes jerking effect.
many thanks

The Featured Post Slider take the title, excerpt, and featured image from the post.
So you need to adjust your title and excerpt text.
You can control the overall “Excerpt Length” by typing the number of Words in “Appearance => Theme Options => Excerpt Length in Words”.
But if you like to control the excerpt text of only the post in slider then you can use the excerpt box under your post editor. See this for more details about excerpt http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/excerpts/

Thanks very much, that worked a treat! Just have to play with one of the images but that sorted it right out.

April 9, 2013 at 2:59 am #6631dreamydayzMemberHi,
in your posts page select the post you want to use a featured image with and then on the right hand side below your categories window you will see a link called set featured image. Click this link and select an image from your library or upload one from your pc.
You may choose to edit the image if you want.
then go to your main post page and make a note of the ID number for the post you have just uploaded a featured image in.
Then in your backend go to appearance > featured slider > slider options
in the featured col# 1 box enter the ID number of the post and click save
your featured post should now be working
