  I’d like to enlarge the photos in the slideshow I created using the gallery widget. Is there a way to do this? Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  You can do this if you edit CSS which requires the WordPress.com Premium. Take a look at the upgrade and let me know if you decide to purchase it. I can then provide you the CSS you would need to make that larger.

  Cheers!

  Hi,

  Thanks for your response. I chose to upgrade to premium. Can you provide me with the CSS to make the slideshow/images larger?

  Many thanks in advance!

  Hi there,

  Sure! Please go to Appearance → Customize → CSS and add the following:

  @media screen and (min-width: 640px) {
  #widget-gallery-2-slideshow {
  	height: 535px !important;
  }
  
  #widget-gallery-2-slideshow .slideshow-slide img {
  	max-height: 535px !important;
  }
  }

  You can change the number (currently set to 535) to your desire. You’ll be able to see it in the Preview.

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!

  Thank you! Do you know if there is a way within the widget to make all the pictures the same size or is it something I need to do manually?

  Technically, yes. I can provide you the code. So, inside this:

  #widget-gallery-2-slideshow .slideshow-slide img {
  		min-height: 460px !important;
  
  	}

  Add width: 800px; to it so it look like this:

  #widget-gallery-2-slideshow .slideshow-slide img {
  		min-height: 460px !important;
  		width: 800px;
  	}

  But what you’ll notice is that some of the images may be a bit distorted, as this is going to force the image to this exact size.

  If you want the images to be all the same size, but proportional, you would have to do that individually with each image.

  Great, thanks!

  Where would I go if I’d like to make the images all the same size, but proportional?

  Also, regarding photos on other pages, in order to make them the same size, I presume I need to adjust them individually prior to uploading or is there a way to do that once I’ve uploaded them?

  Thank you in advance!

  You should use photo editing software to make sure they are the same size and re-upload those images to add to that gallery.

  Yes that’s correct!
