Nate,

First off, thanks so much for the quick response. Help within 24 hours, and it was exactly what I needed!

As it turned out, the CSS you supplied worked perfectly without having to modify anything else, and as that goes in the Custom CSS area, makes it even better for updates and such.

I’ll keep the other solutions in mind though, those might come in handy in the future.

My menus look awesome now, sir! Thanks again for all your hard work on this. I’m thinking that I can open up a whole new sales niche for restaurants with this bad boy.

Have a great weekend!

Hey, I was having the same problem although slightly different in my instance.

I had a 480×360 flash movie I was embedding, and it kept expanding to fill the 640px primary column size.

I encased the Kimili shortcode inside a <div> tag and it forced the Flash movie back to the proper size.

In my case I just used:

<div style="width: 480px;">[kml_embed shortcode]</div>

This may help keep the movie where you want it to be and the proper dimensions. Hope it works!

This is certainly not the best practice for this, but it works, and will let you modify that home slider without mucking around with the Metaslider plugin.

In the wp-content/themes/vantage/slider folder, you’ll find a backgrounds folder and a demo.php file.

The demo.php file is a simple div with a list loop contained within.

Simply replace the images in the backgrounds folder with your new background images and the overlay image to be used for that background, and then modify the demo.php page to reference the new files you’ve uploaded.

You can add new li elements to expand beyond 2 slides as needed.

IMPORTANT CAVEATS: Again, this is not the best practice for this, but it is a simple hack that gets you up and running until you figure out the Metaslider. It does have some drawbacks, primarily that this will be wiped out and replaced every time you upgrade the Vantage theme, which will replace these files and revert them back to original specs.

But if you save the graphics you’re using and the demo.php file contents in a separate folder outside of the Vantage theme folder, you can just replace these and be up and running again.
