• Hi,

    Complete newbie to Web Design and WordPress and have to say, loving WordPress. I have 1 niggle with my website – https://www.2411events.co.uk which is screen resolution.

    I’m sure this has been asked (and resolved) before please forgive me if it has…

    To explain, I’m using the Sydney Theme and have uploaded images to use on the frontpage slider. My machine at home has a resolution of 1920×1080. When I run the site on my machine, the slider images are cropped at the bottom. If I reduce the browser window to something more akin to 1024×768 the images appear fine. On a mobile device they don’t appear correct either.

    I’m sure it’s something simple, just dont know what!

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Many thanks

    John

  • Hello John,

    It’s normal behavior of default header slider.

    It cuts certain parts of image to fill whole screen on different aspect ratios.

    However, you can check this topic.

    Kind Regards, Roman.

    Hi Roman,

    Thanks for getting back to me so quick. Is there no way for the Theme or WordPress to identify the screen resolution and size accordingly?

    Regards,

    John

    John, default Sydney header slider is designed to fill whole screen.

    But in this case you can’t show properly proportioned image if the screen has different aspect ratio.

    I hope that it clarifies the issue.

    Kind Regards, Roman.

    Once again thanks for the response Roman. I’m still confused.

    If I access the website on my PC with my web browser open on full screen, the image is cropped at the bottom. If I reduce the size of my browser window then the images are displayed correctly. You’re response suggests the Theme is optimized for 1024×768 rather than scaling to show the whole page?

    When you say whole screen, what screen size?

    Feels a bit odd that we cant accommodate differing screen resolution sizes :-(.

    thanks agian

    Currently slider is configured like this:

    Please select different options to understand the difference.

    Hello Ana,

    In fact this “problem” is the solution to fit whole screen.

    Different screens have different sizes, so image can be displayed partially.

    Kind Regards, Roman.

    Hi Roman,

    I know you have answered this topic all over the forum, but i am still having problems trying to get the aspect ratio right on my mobile view…i have added the code with the simple css plugin — but nothing has changed?

    hightides.info

    i tired this:

    #slideshow .slides-container .slide-item{
      background-position: top center;
      background-size: 100% 100%;
    }

    as well as this:

    code:

    @media only screen and (max-width: 900px){
      #slideshow{
        height: 400px !important;
      }
    }
    
    @media only screen and (max-width: 600px){
      #slideshow{
        height: 210px !important;
      }
    
      .text-slider-section{
        top: 40%;
      }  
    }
    @media only screen and (max-width: 420px) {
      .text-slider .maintitle {
        font-size: 50%;
      }
    }
    #slideshow .slides-container .slide-item{
      background-position: top center;
      background-size: 100% 100%;
    }

    [Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button.]

    but still no response…what am i doing wrong?! I have combed through your responses, but i seem to be missing something! thank you
