Hello, I'm trying to know the exact size please to have a good slider homepage. I asked the support of my wordpress theme, they answered 1700 * 470 but it comes out very badly. It is little. So I would like to have the best size, I find many different sizes on the web.
thank you in advance
Thank you for getting in touch with us. My name is Attila and I'm happy to assist you today. I appreciate your patience while we've been working towards your ticket.
There is no recommended size for sliders. Each slider is different, you need to size them as you see fit depending on their look and on the page where they are inserted, so they fit your site's layout best.
Also, the initial sizes of the slider are just the "base" for it. The responsive mode you choose will do the resizing and scaling. If you show us your site we can check on the slider.
Good evening, thank you for your answer, I send you the link of the site, I left the slide voluntarily. This is the slide in home page in purple. I really need to know the right size please.

Thank you. As I've mentioned there is no recommended or globally accepted size for sliders. You use what fits your needs and looks good on your site. A slider can be very small or it can cover your whole site. It's completely up to you, and what you want to achieve.
One thing I've noticed is that your image does not fill the slider. You can adjust this by adding 100% to the width and height values of that image layer, so it will cover your whole slider. You could also adjust the slider's initial sizes in the Slider Settings to match your image's aspect ratio better.
Good evening, I tried everything impossible to have the slider that I want. By changing the sizes in Layout or in Style, the image is distorted. I need an image size to have a real big slide homepage. I asked the support of my wordpress theme, they gave me the size 1500x757 as in their demo:
Do I have to redo the image at this size?
Qaund I put this size in Layout it still gives me a small picture.
Help me please it's urgent.
thank you in advance
Good night
Please select the Full Sized layout and the Hero Scene mode for your slider in the Slider Settings -> Layout tab. After that navigate to the Slide Options and add your image as a slide background image. Continue with selecting the cover or stretch value (test which one works for you better) for it with the Size option. And finally reposition your text layer where you want it inside the slider.
Thank you for your answer I tried but I'm still not satisfied, the image is just stretched as if I enlarged an image without keeping the proportions. I wanted the same image as at the beginning but it filled the whole place like a slider. That's why I was asking for a size.
Thanks anyway.
Well, you cannot fill the slider without distorting the image, when the image and the slider have different aspect ratios. They just won't fit each other, like a 16:9 video won't fit a 4:3 TV screen. This is not an issue in the slider, it's just simply how aspect ratios work.
You will need to match the slider's sizes to the image's sizes. The size, or more like the aspect ratio you're looking for is the same as your image. You will need to check your image and use its size/aspect ratio for the slider. And finally set the slider back to normal responsive layout, because the fullwidth and full size layouts will not match your image perfectly.
