      Here is my site that I setup to play with to figure out the theme.

      I am having a bad time with the slide.

      I need help.

      I want to set it up like the sample.

      I read all the posts on the board but still need help.

      What settings do I need in the plugin to make it just like the demo?

      What size images should I be uploading?

      Should they be added to the post in the content box or as a featured image.

      If you could give me it would be great.

      If someone helps me, I will record a screen capture of how to do they and upload it for Wes to use for new users.

      Thanks

        A) Right click on the sample images and download them and then you will have a sample that will tell you the size and type of files.

        B) Create posts, assign them a category, and set your images as “featured images” ~ bottom right hand corner of the post meta.

        C) In the Slider Settings select the category for your posts.

        That’s it ~ your done.

            Are you a designer or are you using the theme for your own site?

            If you are a designer share your URL and I will refer people. Sometimes I get people asking me if I know anyone.

            Have a good weekend.

              You are welcome.

              Yes, I am a designer.

              But I only work for nonprofits, charities and social enterprise.

              Take it easy… 😉

                I created a detailed tutorial on the Tutorials section of the site. Here is the link for the Slider – https://appfinite.com/tutorials/how-to-add-the-genesis-responsive-slider/ The instructions on this are for themes that are 960px width, but since you’re using Epik, you can actually use 1152px width since thats the size of the content area of the theme.
