Video slider issue

1) I got vimeo all set up to place a video in a slider since I can’t use my own player (bummer) and you’ll notice I have black bars at top and bottom of vid. I dont want those. Vimeo says vid is 500×281. I’m guessing not exactly 16:9.

Who can fix this for me?

2) Also on same page, notice in footer I have an image (floating widget) in 3rd section from the right.
How can I make this image a link that goes to a page?

Hello,

1) I got vimeo all set up to place a video in a slider since I can’t use my own player (bummer) and you’ll notice I have black bars at top and bottom of vid. I dont want those. Vimeo says vid is 500×281. I’m guessing not exactly 16:9.

Have you tried adding a max height to your video display within the slider? Try adding a max height of 308-312, and adjust until it’s just the way you want.

2) Also on same page, notice in footer I have an image (floating widget) in 3rd section from the right.

So I can see you’ve got a text widget there, but I’m not quite sure what you’re using within the text widget to display that image. Looks like some sort of third-party gallery slider plugin? In using that, you’ll need to consult their instructions.

However if you’re just wanting a linked image, that’s pretty straight forward; you don’t really need any plugins. I’d just use basic HTML in the text widget.

Here’s more information on using the anchor and img tags in HTML:

I think 311 might be the magic number on the video height for the placement of the slider and everything.

310 looked really good, but I’ll try 311, thanks for the quick support.

I had simply tried short code in that text footer. I’ll just have my guy do html like you said.

Thanks for the great themes by the way.
