hi – i’m trying to put a big grid slider onto my homepage and i’ve managed to put the grid there but it doesn’t slide. can you help? thanks1
Hi,
The big grid slider filters only 4 posts by default. Please make sure you set it to a minimum of 8 posts so ti has enough posts to slide through: http://screencast.com/t/m3spWx2rw2r
Thank you!
Hi – thanks for your response – i had the post number empty so i thought it would mean it would be unlimited, but it didn’t work. so i changed to 8 and it works…presume i can up it by multiples of 4 to get more slides?
i am having trouble working out how to get the posts i want appearing though – for example i would like to feed the latest posts from four different categories – so i put the id for these four categories into the multiple categories box. i was hoping the first id would appear in the first grid box and so on, as the first grid box is such a big picture and all the images in one category are usually big engouh, but if it selects posts from one of the other categories (the news category for example) occasionally the images on some of those posts are too small to fill the large grid box… is there a way of having the posts automatically filter in, but stay within certain grid boxes? or is it all randomly controlled on the slider (i know you can control which one goes in which grid box on a normal grid just by the order you type in the Ids for the categories..)
thanks again for your help
Hi,
The posts can be filtered in the big grid slide just like the ones on a normal big grid by using the block setting: http://screencast.com/t/n8SsKjabSK
The images not fitting inside the container is a whole different matter. Your images need to be at least the size of the container for them to fit properly as the theme does not enlarge the images. It only crops them. if the images are big enough, then you need to follow this guide to fix the images inside the container: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Thank you!
