Although I've set up Mr. Phillips licensed copy of Salient to auto resize, the home page slider images all run off the screen when viewed on a smaller computer (in my case, my MacBook Pro 13").
I'm attaching a screen capture of the home page screen, MacBook Pro view.
The dimensions for the slide image are approximately 1980x792...
Your advice is greatly appreciated as Mr. Phillips (who purchased the theme) is anxious to get this resolved.
Please try using the Flexible Slider Height option in Nectar Slider.
Also when using the flexible slider height option you have to enter the slider height based on how big your images would be at 1600px width - this will ensure the scaling is perfect with no clipping. To find the correct height for your images use this: http://andrew.hedges.name/experiments/aspect_ratio/ . The default width for images is 1600px so for example a image that is 1904 x 738px would be converted to 1600 x 620px if scaled down. Therefore slider height would be set to 620 px .
The flexible slider height option makes the Nectar Slider respond perfectly to ensure there's no clipping on any view - leaving it off will cause the height of the slider to change only once per every viewport change (desktop, ipad, mobile) and clip variously between them.
Thanks
Yes, Please use the Nectar Slider Instead. It has more features and scales perfectly as well. You simply have to use the NEctar Slider Page Element via the Visual Composer. Please see Page Builder Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4mt0lOJ888 .

Hi, Tahir!
Sorry, I'm not quite following you. Are you saying I should use the Nectar Slider, rather than the home page template (home page slider)?
And per your suggestion - "Please try using the Flexible Slider Height option in Nectar Slider...." How do I set this exactly?
Apologies for making you have to follow up, but I still can't seem to resolve the home page slider issue...
Hi, again! :-) Just so that I'm clear, we're not talking about this setting, right (see screen shot)?
