Full Width Slider Easy Question

Yeah that totally depends on the slider itself. The theme’s widget area is ready for a full width slider, but you’ll need to use something that will work full width.

I’d agree if it were a theme that was marketed as something that features a slider, but it’s not (just look at the demo). As a matter of fact they don’t have any themes that include Sliders. It’s up to you to find a slider that you like to get it to work. They don’t make sliders, they only design themes.

StudioPress has a slider, and if that’s the slider you’re using and there is an issue with it, then you would definitely want to let them know if there any bugs.

I’ve added a slider to this theme and pretty much every other Genesis theme and have never had any major issues. Although I now use a premium slider majority of the time since the Genesis Slider does have it’s limitations. But again, it still works perfectly fine, it’s pretty simple, but it’s also basic and doesn’t have as many features as other sliders…..and it’s not supposed to (which is the point of it).

If you want a slider with more features check out codecanyon, WordPress.org, etc and you’ll find plenty more that can get the job done.

I use the Layer Slider, which is the exact same plugin that comes with the Ally theme – http://codecanyon.net/item/layerslider-responsive-wordpress-slider-plugin-/1362246

I don’t always use it for every site though. Just for certain clients that are looking for a slider with a ton of features. But if it’s something simple, I just use the Genesis Slider. Sometimes CodeCanyon plugin developers can get out of hand with too many features, which can slow other parts of the site down. Not saying this plugin does that, but I use Genesis Slider just in case when dealing with something simple. Layer Slider is still pretty awesome though. And it’s fairly priced. Give it a try if it fits what you’re looking for.

@LocalSearch Not sure if you’re still looking for this or not, but the Genesis Responsive Slider should work. There are also plenty of other Full Width Slider Plugins that you can use to achieve what you’re looking for. Some of them are paid, but you can also find some Free ones. I’d check CodeCanyon.net for more plugins.
