    How do I adjust the height settings for the slider?
    for that matter, is there place where (concisely) I can see some of the critical CSS classes/ids needed to customize Customizr? Sure, I can firebug, or try to scan through the code, but a brief little css dictionary would be really helpful.
    Thanks!

  • Can’t help with a dictionary, I’m afraid.

    Have you looked at the css source files in customizr/inc/css/*.css?

    but it is better to ask the developer direction.

    ^bump this topic…I have the same question about changing the slider height. I did Firebug and can find where it’s setting the height, but can’t seem to find it in the code itself. Anyone know which file I should look at in editor?

    Firebug is the best way to find CSS code – if you need help with CSS see:

    https://getfirebug.com/

    https://getfirebug.com/faq/

    https://www.w3schools.com/css/

    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/learn/css

    https://csscreator.com

    Also be sure that you do not modify any theme files – only make changes in custom CSS or a child theme.

    …. I personally wasn’t asking about Firebug or tools (I certainly know my way around them) – I was posting to THIS forum to see if the developer could provide the exact CSS classes to modify.

    You can always ask CSS-specific queries in CSS-specific forums such as https://welovecss.com or CSScreator (linked above).

    umm … this is a Customizr PLUG-IN specific query. I can also google if I need to know about CSS in general,but posted here because I wanted to see if someone here *knew* the *specific* classes that needed to be modified in order to change the slider height.

    The plugin needs to be from www.ads-software.com’s plugin repository for it to be supported here.

    The Customizr theme doesn’t define its slider height in CSS, you’ll need to set up a Child Theme as WPyogi advised.

    Sorry to you too…. because this is exactly where I got the plugin (theme, actually) from … downloaded from within my wordpress (.org) dashboard. And the support link brings be to this very forum.

    I have no problem setting up a child theme (and fiddling around to find the proper CSS) – in fact it would take me less time than debating here… but if Customizr doesn’t use a CSS class for the slider height, I am not sure how much sense it makes for me to change it, in a child theme (since there is no class/height-attribute for me to override).

    My main reason for staying on this particular forum is to make it a little better for the next person .. too often I have found interlopers (and yes, even moderators) tossing out quite irrelevant advice (do they get some sort of brownie points just the the number of posts?!)

    Seriously … “use firebug” does not help *anyone* (unless the specific question is “I’m new to this, how do I see the CSS and HTML for the theme I am using?”)

    When people have a specific problem or question, generic answers are particularly frustrating (no answers are better than vague answers or answering a question that wasn’t asked).

    For the record – no one here asked how to view CSS code in general (so links to firebug or inks to w3schools were unnecessary at best and condescending at worse). The question specific was about adjusting the height of the Customizr theme slider, and asking which css class names were used, so I could override/change them).

    If the answer is “I don’t know”, then there really is no need to post anything. If the answer is “not possible” or “contact the developer directly” then OK.

    Feel free to ban me or flame me for this – but I can tell you my venting is something that many others on these forums feel too.

    I am working from my ipad right now, and will try to tweak the theme tonight. I will report back here once I have tried it and then close the thread,.

    here’s the answer:

    .carousel-inner {height: 220px;}

    this CSS addition allows you to adjust the height. I poked and found it … but it would have been easier if the developer (or someone who really knew) could have chimed in

    Issue is closed. Hopefully others can see it and save time.
