Hi,

I have been resizing images for the Home Page Meta Slider. Documentation suggested 1200 x 480px. But when I upload, my images are not as clear, losing integrity.

Could you please advise how I can keep the crispness of my images?

The site is http://www.ridetheswell.com

Thanks
Matt

Hi Matt

Thanks for posting.

Unfortunately, if your display is wider than 1200, there will be resolution loss. Full-width sliders are always a bit challenging. What would be better would be to separate the text onto another layer. So save your background image and then save your text as a PNG with a transparent background. You can then either try:

1. Try the Ultra method I outline here: https://purothemes.com/documentation/ultra-theme/meta-slider/#heading-recreating-the-ultra-home-page-demo-slider

or

2. Try the SiteOrigin Hero widget (doesn’t handle responsive as well) OR the SiteOrigin Slider widget:

Let me know how it goes 🙂

Thanks Andrew. That’s great. I’ll take a look at what you say and if not, look at the alternatives.

Regards

For sure. Let me know how it goes. We can improve things one way or another.
