Changing the default slider height in Acoustic theme

In this article I will show you how to change the default slider height of the Nivo and Thumbnail sliders to 500 pixels (for different heights you have to change the 500 value with the one you need). The Zoom slider’s animation functionality strongly depends on its height, so changing this slider’s height would require more modifications and cannot be explained just within a few steps.

Nivo Slider

To change the default height of the Nivo slider you have to insert the following CSS into the Acoustic Options -> Styles Settings -> Additional Styles section:

#nivo-slider {
height: 500px;
}

If you have automatic image resizing enabled in the Nivo Slider section of the options panel, then you also have to modify the theme’s includes/slider-nivo.php file – you have to change line 43:

$path=pexeto_get_resized_image($imgurl, 980, 400);

to be like this:

$path=pexeto_get_resized_image($imgurl, 980, 500);

Thumbnail Slider

To change the default height of the Thumbnail slider you have to insert the following CSS into the Acoustic Options -> Styles Settings -> Additional Styles section:

#slider-img-wrapper, #slider, #slider img {
height: 500px;
}

If you have automatic image resizing enabled in the Thumbnail Slider section of the options panel, then you also have to modify the theme’s includes/slider-thumbnail.php file – you have to change line 37:

$path=pexeto_get_resized_image($imgurl, 980, 400);

to be like this:

$path=pexeto_get_resized_image($imgurl, 980, 500);
