So when configuring the Genesis Responsive Slider for use in the Full Width Slider widget what is the optimal or recommended size settings for the slider?
Thanks,
Dan
HM? Ok I created a graphic sized at 1100×650 and then added the genesis responsive slider widget to the full width slider sidebar and got a partial width slider left justified. What did I do wrong? how to fix?

I give up on the Full Width slider being something that is easy to implement. Will figure out a work around and a replacement.
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.

The bottom line is that this part of the theme is n ot customer ready in my opnion. Should be well documented instructions to get full functionality deployed. something not right.
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.

Hi Eric —
Can you send me the name of the Slider Plugin you’re using? I’ve tried using Smart Slider 2 from NextEndWeb which is highly-rated but can’t seem to get it to work with the Epik theme.
Can you let me know the Slider you’re using?
Thanks,
Jamie
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.

Does anyone have any sites they’re willing to share that have implemented a slider in place of the full width photo on the home page of InSync (or SquareOne)??
I’m not a coder…but wondering if there’s step by step procedure for implementing Genesis Responsive Slider in place of the still photo on top of home page for each theme?…the slider being full width, just as the existing still photos are?
@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.
Hey I was using this for both the genesis responsive slider and soliloquy and even the royal slider on other genesis themes for insync it should work but
note: bosses-pro is a theme I was working on so add your div there of course..
also this is not exact for insync ill report back if I add this to insync I think I will try as I notice now there are 2 slider widget areas one fullwidth assume thins works than disregard this post..
It should fill out the whole area top to side and you should have a height that you can adjust if you want.. the key to this is it is 100% no set width and check your media query if it does not resize correct.
/* Genesis Responsive Slider
——————————————— */
.bosses-pro-home #genesis-responsive-slider {
border: none;
padding: 0;
}
.bosses-pro-home .flexslider .slides img {
width: 100%;
}
.bosses-pro-home .flexslider {
max-width: 100%;
}
for soliloquy I did this below and more because I had captions..but this worked well for the fullwidth effect..
.home-slider .soliloquy-container {
max-width: none !important;
max-height: 100% !important;
}
.home-slider .soliloquy-container .soliloquy-image {
width: 100% !important;
}
