Why do Homepage Slider Images scale disproportionally?

Hi Dominic,

Do you have any updates in regards to DW-Focus Homepage Slide?

Site: http://www.ejnblog.org/newsite/

On my homepage (slider 1 image):

What am I doing wrong? Why are my images broken? I.e. showing cut off images/too big/too small and our images fit nicely?

Please review and advice.

As the design of DW Focus theme, the images size is 500 x 400 in the slider, however, you can add the image size 770 x 400 px and they still display as our demo site because the system will automatically resize and get the smaller images for the website.
We mostly use the size 500×400 for all the article images. To be specific:

– 500×400 images are used for:

Widgets:

News Slider
Featured Image
Single post và Featured Image

First article of Category Archive

– 230×130 are used for:

Widgets:

Recent news, Featured News, Popular News (If you select Medium size images)
Category (3 cols)
News Carousel

Articles on Archive page

– 110×110 are used for:

Widgets:

Recent news, Featured News, Popular News (If you select Thumbnail image size)
Category (1 col)

Regards,
Dominic

I found I was having this problem also, with smaller images not filling the slider, so I edited template.css for the them (do this only in Notepad – for some reason other programs change the file in a way that makes it not work).

Change this: .carousel-inner img{max-width: 100%;}

to this: .carousel-inner img{max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;}

so the image is exactly that 100%. When I did this all the images fit properly.

I don’t have notepad because I have a Mac.
