Hi
Using Slider Rev and slider looks great on a desktop. I test it on my laptop and the slider bleeds off the bottom of the screen. The image aligns perfectly to the bottom of the screen on a desktop but not on a laptop. Also the laptop can’t read the font properly either.

Have a look here.

Thanks!

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

Would you mind letting us know which url has this slider?

If you’re using the rev. slider, there is layer alignment setting that will force them to bottom, sides, top, and center regardless of device size.

Thanks.

oh, my apologies! i removed it, but i put it back now. please try link above again. i’d like all the elements and the background image on both desktop and laptop to be responsive like this slider rev example. i’m not sure if that’s aspect ratio technically speaking, but the elements do resize properly when the window is resized. as it is now, the slider only seems to resize horizontally and not vertically (which is what i want it to do). also the slider only keep the correct font on desktop, and changes to an ugly, basic font on laptop or mobile.

Hi there,

Please provide the url that has your slider so we could check what’s the problem. And yes, the layer elements will scale according to slider size and it’s normal which doesn’t need special setup. Just make sure the slider grid size is the same size of element that you wish to show case. For example, your slider has text content that has total width of 600px width, then just make sure your slider grid width has 600px. Do not follow the layout width, follow your actual content width. That’s because scaling down will start when the slider reached that 600px. So if you put 960, it will start scaling on that width making your content elements too small.

And fullscreen slider is of course resize on width only, height will stay in full.

Thanks.

I sent you the url that has the slider on it:

i also sent you a url that shows how i want the slider to work when the screen is resized:

http://revolution.themepunch.com/wordpress-fullscreen-slider/

did you look at those? there isn’t a url for the slider itself, right? the slider is just a set of components, right?

I’m sorry, but you haven’t answered my questions. on different screen sizes the slider displays differently and i don’t know how to control that. on smaller screen sizes the slider displays in a way i don’t like (e.g. not recognizing the bottom of the screen for proper resizing and not using the correct font on laptops) and i’m asking how to change that.

since this is bundled with x, is there no way i can contact slider rev directly for support?

thanks

Hi there,

I checked them, but probably a cache since there is no slider when I checked your site. As I see, you have w3 total cache installed and active. Caching is only advisable for finished site, else, you won’t get changes in real time during development. And I checked your another url from rev. slider.

Yes, you could only contact rev. slider if you bought a license from them. But, even if it’s bundled plugin, we don’t provide documentation of how to build sliders. They have their own knowledge base or documentation that you could always check for free.

I think, what you’re referring is Full screen settings. You could do that at your slider’s setting like this,

And since you’re presenting same layer elements regardless of device, then no need to enable other grid size (they should stay inactive). And your slider grid size should match the dimension of your widest element. For example, you only have one text layer which makes it the widest and it has 956px width. Then it’s safe to set your slider grid size to around 960×350.

Oh, when you set your slider as fullwidth, you’ll have to set it’s offset container to .masthead. Like from here

Check out more about rev. slider from here http://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/welcome-slider-revolution/, and choose the version right for you 🙂

Hope this helps.
