performance does not match demos

    All the demos work wonderfully so I bought this plugin… but none of the behavior is consistent in my own WordPress build. I thought maybe I had some setting wrong so started trying to import your sample sliders and load those up as is, but I’m having the same issues.

    Not all of the slider content is spanning the full width of the screen. If you drag the screen bigger or smaller though, then the cutoff content reappears. Also when the screen size changes, the right arrow does not hold its correct position but instead gets pushed over. At small screen sizes the slider has a huge gap below it.

    All I need to do is have a few images fade in and out, while expanding the full width of the screen and reducing in size responsively. I thought surely a slider this complex would be able to handle that so I must be missing something, please advise!

    Hi! The slider can only be as wide, as the container it is in, and most theme’s doesn’t have a full width position, so you need to put it into your php file to have it like that: http://www.nextendweb.com/wiki/smart-slider-documentation/frequently-asked-questions/#fullwidthwp

    The gap below it is probably because of your theme too. If you send me your website’s address, I will tell you in what code part you should put the slider’s shortcode: [email protected]

    To adjust the arrows, we have made widget variables: http://www.nextendweb.com/wiki/smart-slider-documentation/widget-variables/
    Because if you put 50% from the top, then the top of the arrow will be 50% from the top, but you need to put it half the size of the arrow higher, so with this variable either from the top or bottom: height/2-nextheight/2
    and for the other: height/2-previousheight/2

    The container its in spans the full width of the screen, so that can’t be it.

    I wouldn’t think the arrows in your sample sliders would need adjusting? I understand the arrow widget, the problem is the arrows are not doing what I (or you, for the sample ones) have set via that widget. The issue is horizontal, not vertical. For example, ‘Right’ is set to 0, but it is not sticking to the right side of the container. Depending on how wide the screen is dragged, sometimes it pushes completely off screen to the right, sometimes it sits farther in to the left, etc.
