Slider size varies

[ejb5oh]

Is there a way to fix the slider size?? It is visually annoying when one is looking through a page and the slider causes the page to constantly shift up and down. See what I am talking about here: http://ap-police.com/police-blotter/. I would like to have the slider size fixed so that the page stops shifting in length.

Thanks.

Just give it a fixed height with your custom CSS if that’s what you’re going for.

For CSS changes, it’s a good idea to use a tool like firebug or Google Chrome’s built-in developer tools to locate them and then put the edits either in your child theme or in the “Custom CSS” option on your theme options page.

.element-post_list_slider li.slide { height: ... }

Also, here’s a helpful tutorial on how to use Firebug – http://vimeo.com/20917974. The only thing I’d suggest not doing is actually making edits to the theme’s CSS files, as it shows at the end of that video. However, the video serves as a good introduction to Firebug and how it can be used to find what CSS is effecting certain areas of your site without ever digging around in any files.
