Hi

a tutorial will follow soon.

But you need to add slider items and set each image as featured image in the slider item (960px by heigth set in your settings).

then enable the slider (category and number of slides and which slider) in the page itself.

Hi

As there are 2 threads on the same issue, I deleted one.

I am working on the video series for Striking 5.1.8 release as we speak, but have not yet reached the videos for the slideshow.

So a quicky tutorial:

1) Select "Add a new slide"
2) Give the slide a title - this is often missed.
3) Click on the "Upload/Insert" icon to upload an image

a) give it a title - and I would also suggest a caption, at a minimum
b) confirm the size, which should be the size of your slider. The default slider size is 960w x 440h. You should confirm that your slide image is that dimension. If not, resize the image to that size prior to loading it, or alternatively, you can edit the image afterwards by going to the image library and utilizing the wp image editing function. But I suggest doing it on your local computer where possible.

Striking has a setting to easily allow changes in slider height. Changing slider width is a matter of being familiar enough with coding in order to make some custom modifications. There are a couple of lengthy threads on changing the width should this be of interest to you.

c) Click on "Use as featured image" to insert the image as the "featured image" of the slide.

4) Then you simply click on the "x" up at the top right of the the image upload screen as you have completed this part of the routine. You will go back to the main wp "Add a slide" panel once the image uploader is closed.

5) Assuming for the moment we are speaking of the Nivo, 3d or accordion sliders, all you need do is look over to the right and select the Slider category you wish to insert the slide into and:

6) Save the slide.

7) you should check your slideshow settings to confirm you have the correct number of slides for display.

Your slides should now display.

If you have any problems with the above, please do not hesitate to post in this thread.

Best Regards

Hi,

Just switch your slider item to html mode (see slider settings below the slider editor window) and put the video embed code in the text area. You can use the anythingslider to present the video.

Hi James
