Madison - Full-Width Slider Set Up

For the slider, we will be working with the Genesis Responsive Slider plugin. When you have the plugin installed and activated drag and drop it into the Home Page Slider Widget location.

Slider Settings

The screenshot below will show you how to properly set up your slider. In order to do this go to Genesis > Slider Settings.

If images do not appear in your slider that is because you don’t have your featured images set up for your slider to get the images yet. Let’s set that up real quick!

Your slider will grab from (in this case) the 5 most recent posts that displays featured images.

These images will have to be large in order for the slider to display the images properly, without them looking blurry or pixelated. We advise uploading images no less than 1200px wide.

Go to Posts > Add New or Edit Post. Upload an image to be featured in that blog post under Featured Image > Save or Update.

Repeat this step for every blog post you wish to include in the slider. You should now have a beautiful functional slider.
