This type of issue is most often related to the theme you’re using. Have you tried reverting to the default twenty-fourteen theme and tested if this still occurs?

You would have to set all containers to height: 100%; and size your images to account for the largest height you’d anticipate. Do you have a link to a page with a slider where you want to achieve this?

Do you have a link to where this is happening so we can inspect the code being output?

Not in Soliloquy Lite.

What’s the exact code you’re using to output the slider to the template and from the page edit screen?

Soliloquy is responsive, could you share a link to a page where it is behaving this way for you?

Is this a built-in feature of your theme? You may wish to contact the theme author for a solution.

Have you tried using the following CSS selector to target the navigation bullets –

.soliloquy-container .soliloquy-pager { top: 10px !important; bottom: auto !important; }

This will position them near the top, but you can modify the position values as you wish. Add this to your theme’s style.css file.

Have you checked for a possible theme or plugin conflict which could interfere with the proper functioning of the slider? You can do this by disabling all other plugins and revert to the default Twenty-Fourteen theme and testing the slider.

Please also be sure you have excluded Soliloquy’s files from any cache, minify or lazy load plugins you may be using.

Disabled Jetpack’s Tiled Gallery module and the lightbox loads properly.

I’m experiencing this same issue.

Glad I could help! ?? Could you mark this post as resolved? Thanks!

Are you viewing the individual site’s dashboard or the Network Admin dashboard? You’ll need to navigate to the Network Admin to edit themes and plugins, you can do this by selecting it from the admin bar menu dropdown where it says “My Sites”.

503’s can happen if you overload the server – either through traffic or resources, or sometimes if mod_security is being triggered (which would be something your host should resolve on their end).

One place you could start is by optimizing your site, which could be resulting in 503’s if your gaining just enough traffic to overwhelm the server. Your site could benefit from caching and other tactics to help reduce the page size and improve the speed of resource loading.

I ran the url through Pingdom and as you can see the page size isn’t horrible but you have a lot of resource requests that are taking an enormous time. https://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/bnaLYx/https://www.leadingpractice.com/

Setting up CloudFlare is a good option, and free.

You load a lot of images, it appears to use in the sidebar Practitioners rotator. At the very least you’ll want to run them through something like SmushIt to compress their size. If you’re feeling really energetic you could also move them to a CDN or setup JetPack’s Photon plugin.

Have you tried disabling all other plugins to make sure one of them isn’t conflicting with the child theme plugin?
