    There’s no issue with the theme (as you can see here – http://demo.appfinite.net/legacy/ its working fine. It’s the slider images that don’t center. A lot of people assume the slider images can center, but they don’t. Whats actually happening in the demo is the slider is set to the size of the theme, and adjusts with the theme. If it’s not set to the full width of the theme then there will be space left.

    You have the wrong width set, this theme is 1140px not 960px. Once you change it to 1140px, use the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin so it will automatically adjust all of your thumbnails/images to the size you set in the slider settings.

    The reason your other site is working is because the width was 960px and the image you added was probably 960px.

    I’ll copy/paste from another post on this subject – https://appfinite.com/topic/genesis-responsive-slider-off-center/#post-6641

    “The pagination (the little circles at the bottom) and the shadow will only show if you have more than one image. So I’d actually add 2 images to your slider and that should fix your issue. If you only plan to use 1 image, then you definitely don’t need a slider to show it.

    If you’re only planning on using 1 image, then you shouldn’t use a slider, it’s like “killing an ant with a sledge hammer”. Just add the image itself in a text widget instead of a slider. A slider will add to your site load times and is unnecessary if you only have 1 image. If you plan to have more than 1 images then everything should work fine.
