Hi, I've just installed the wedding Style theme and am impressed with the ease of customisation - however... I've hit a problem with the home page slider in that the images don't remain constrained to the correct ratio, resulting in squashed images. I'm a bit concerned that this could be a limitation within the slider itself as, on inspection, it appears that the demo site also seems to have squashed images in the slider.
Is this the case or is there an optimum size/ratio that the images need to be cropped to in order to avoid the squashed look? Is it possible to define a maximum width for the slider as, at the moment, the slider expands to fill whatever the monitor dimension width is?

Dear Robb,

Please try using 470 as a height. This should work. Thank you.

Hi, thanks for the response. I've tried your recommendation but as you can see from the attached jpeg, the slider was set to 470 height as advised, but the image still gets stretched to a lesser or greater degree depending on the monitor format. However, as you can see the circular thumbs maintain their shape.

I'm guessing the responsive nature of the theme might be causing this, but as it stands it renders the slider useless if it's being used to show "tasters" of photos, which is the main role I require it for.

Is it possible to make the slider a fixed size and maintain the responsive nature of the theme? I realise this would mean wider gaps either side of the slider on certain monitors but this would be way more preferable that the often comical effect of the stretched images

thank you, you solved it
For anyone else with a similar problem, here's what to do:

"..remove max height and max weight and set that for the parent div in this file wedding-style/front_end/front_end_functions.php."
