1374366	2014-05-07 06:26:00	Hi guys, I am absolutely stuck here and hoped you might be able to help me out. I am using the Mantra theme on wordpress and on the presentation page I have an option to add a slide show. The slider dimensions are 1000x300 px which makes the page look nice, but it doesn't seem to matter what size my images are when I upload them, it continues to only show a portion of the photo on the slider. I have tried resizing the images thru Picasa 3 to 640 x 480 and I have tried selecting thumbnail 150 x 150, medium 300 x 225 and full size (which is my photo size) 640 x 480, nothing is working, what am I doing wrong? I just don't understand :(	DakotaNZ (17161)

It should tell you what the CSS pixel dimensions are set at for the image. It will also tell you what line of code you need to change in your CSS file in order to get the images showing at the correct dimensions.	Webdevguy (17166)
