Can you create a slider with photos of different dimensions without altering the size of the photo?

Hey Ron, yes you can. Simply leave the image size to default and remove the check from cropping images in the slider config settings. 🙂

I’m having problems with the images not resizing correctly and overlapping the page text. I’m using a theme that has the Soliloquy slider built-in so I’m not using the code to display. What am I doing wrong?

I don’t have an account? This feature was included in a theme I purchased from themeforest. If there are any “How To” config documents or videos, that would be most helpful!
