Hatch theme cuts off Promotion Slider plugin

    Not sure if this should be in the template forum or the plugins forum but the Promotion Slider plugin doesn’t seem to play well with the Hatch theme. The plugin works fine with the Twenty Eleven theme which makes me think there’s something in the Hatch theme stylesheet that’s causing the issue…I have a fresh install of the theme with zero customizations.

    I couldn’t find anything connected to this theme with a “max-height”, so I’m not sure what else it could be?

    Here is the site (this slider should be appearing at 640×360 (which again, works fine in other themes)

    Any tips? Thanks

    Update. I noticed my shortcode seems to work fine on another page of my site, it’s only the Home page that’s troublesome thus far…

    See this page for a working example of the Promotion slider.

    Yes, this CSS which is specific to the home page is restricting the size of that:

    .home .hentry, .archive .hentry {
    float: left;
    height: 150px;
    margin: 0 2.12766% 20px 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
    width: 23.4043%;
}

    Removing the width and height seems to fix it…

    Nailed it, thanks Yogi.

    Is there a way to make this change with the child theme only and not mess with the main stylesheet? Normally how I do this is copying the new code into the child stylesheet, and it automatically overwrites the old. This one doesn’t play as nicely, since I’m assuming it’s still reading the old height/width.

    Try using “auto” in the height and width in the child theme.
