    My url is http://www.universityvillageguelph.ca/ and i have just installed the latest version of Alora. The only type of slider available to me in the menu is Theme4Press, but I am unable to figure out how to set it up. I have created a slider named UVNG_slider1 but can’t figure out how to add slides to it.

    Please help me get a toehold here!

    Best,
    Kathie

    Hi,

    The following screenshot shows the location to create slider and add slides.
    Then you assign to page in the Slider Options.

    Thanks!

    Thanks, Denzel. I get that part okay. What i seem unable to do is create a Theme4Press slider containing slides, in the first place.

    I have created a slider as shown here:
    http://kma-web.com/Test/Theme4PressSlider.jpg

    but i don’t see how to add slides to that slider.
    Here’s what I see when I go to “Theme4Press Slider/Add or Edit SLides”:
    http://kma-web.com/Test/AddSlide.jpg

    I don’t see anywhere where I tell it what slides to add to the slider. i.e. where do i select the images that I want included in the slider?

    I’m feeling very stupid! Please help me to clear the fog.

    Hi,

    I have annotated on your screenshot.

    Click on that Add New Slide button and it will load an interface for you to create your slide. On the right hand side you will see check-box for assigning your slide to your slider.

    Thanks!

    Sadly, this is still not getting me where I need to go.
    Please see:

    http://www.kma-web.com/Test/AddSlide3_bottom.jpg
    and the result of that:

    Still feeling stupid…! Thanks so much for bearing with me on this.

    Hi Kathie,

    Please try to edit your slider settings.

    Then find Slider width and Slider height input.
    Enter 100% for Slider Width and 500px for Slider Height.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks!
