 * I have a couple of questions about the Kyma slider:
    1. How can I use the slider with custom posts (e.g. event posts in Events Manager)?
    2. How can I change the height of the slider?

 * Hi,
 * Please explain in more detail your first issue with screen-shot.
 * For second issue follow below instructions:
 * Kyma theme slider is auto responsive which is adjust according to slider image
 * size.
 * We already fixed slider image size(1349*540)px.
 * You can increase/decrease slider image size according your requirement.
 * Go to your core theme directory >> functions.php file.
 * Now open in any text editor and find the below line of code.
 * `add_image_size('kyma_slider_post', 1349, 540, true);`
 * And change it’s height (540) according your need.
 * Let us know for further help.
 * Please provide site URL for further issue.
 * Thank You

 * Thanks for fixing issue 2.
 * Issue 1: a screenshot wouldn’t help unfortunately. Do you know the [Events Manager plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/)?
   It creates events as posts, however the posts are not shown as regular posts.
   I’m looking at EM for a solution but if you can come up with an idea that’d be
   very helpful.

 * Hi,
 * This plugin is not compatible with our theme.
 * Because its a third-party plugin.
 * Let us know for further assistance.

 * Is there any way of changing the slider size in Kyma-Child? I tried copying over
   the whole kyma_theme_setup function but got a server error.

 * Hi,
 * We already provide the solution for slider image.
 * But i think you want to use **“Child-Theme”** for changing the slider image size.
 * Then change the function name **“kyma_theme_setup”** to **“kyma_theme_setup_child”.**
 * And put below line of code into this function.
 * add_image_size(‘kyma_slider_post’, 1349, 540, true);
 * Save the changes.
 * Let us know for further assistance.
 * Thank You.

 * Hi,
 * It looks like the slider defaults to the height of the image used, instead of
   doing the equivalent of ‘background-size: cover’, which is what’s needed here,
   particularly with images of different sizes.
 * I’ve tried making the height change to both theme setup functions but the slider
   only pays attention to the image size.
 * I’ve also tried changing the wrapper height via the CSS, but this either distorts
   the image or knocks the text lines down.

 * Hi,
 * Here we are sending a **“Child-Theme”** package link.
 * Link is [HERE](http://www.4shared.com/zip/c86d7pUIce/kyma-child-slider.html).
 * Please download and activate it.
 * Here we already customized your **“Child-Theme”** package according your
 * requirement. If you want to change slider height then please change slider
 * image size. then it will automatically adjust according image size.
 * For changing the slider image size open **“functions.php”** file from your
 * **“Child-Theme”** directory.
 * And find below line of code
 * **add_image_size(‘kyma_slider_post_child’, 1349, 350, true);**
 * and change the size **350(height)** according your need.
 * Save the changes.
 * Note: After activate the **“Child-Theme”** or modify the changes please upload
   your slider post images.
 * Hope it will work for you.
 * Let us know for further help.

 * That’s exactly what I did; it ignores that and takes the height from the image
   instead.

 * No, because I did exactly what you said and the slider ignores it and takes the
   slider height from the image instead.

 * The guy that dumped your theme was right. Slider images are NOT responsive. I
   have an image 600×600 that is being stretched out much bigger than that…
 * If this issue is still unresolved, I might have to follow his lead.

 * hello grawick360,
 * The recommended size of slider image is 1349×540 pixels or greater than this.
 * If you upload image that is smaller than above resolution it’ll not be croped
   and will be display as it is in it’s actual size.
 * so upload the image of correct size and it’ll be automatically croped.
 * Hope this answers the question.
 * Thanks
