  Hello,

  Actually it’s an other website I setted in private because it is not ready for now. I change for Hidden in order to communicate you the link. I wish to do 3 posts based on this model every week with several manga-plates for each post. I need to increase the size of the Slideshow because I will use it to show some manga plates. With this size I’m affraid the public could not read the text.

  Best Regards and sorry for my english, I’m not a native speaker.

  Hello
  I think your English is just fine, but you might be better asking in the French forum. It is at:
  http://fr.forums.wordpress.com/

  Bonne chance!

  hello,

  I’ll give a shot on the french forum, but even if my confidence in my english is not quite well (I use to make a lot of mistakes), I can read and understand it. So I’ll stay here to :)
  Thank you for your advises.

  Best regards.

  Great!

  Let us try then.

  1. Open the page with the slideshow in your editor
  2. Open the HTML editor by clicking the HTML tab
  3. You will see a line that looks like:[gallery ids="78,56,53,48,46,20" type="slideshow" link="none"]
  4. Add size="full" before the end “]”
  5. click Preview then the full preview button which is the square with the arrow pointing to the upper right

  This will show the images full size. If your images are smaller than 289px × 364px they will be smaller!

  Try it and see if it works for you. If it does not, undo the steps you took.

  The Slideshow/Gallery instructions are in:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/gallery/

  Let us know how it works for you!

  Best regards,
  dave

  Hello,

  I did all the steps you write down here, but it doesn’t seem to work for me ^^’.
  I have also checked the instructions but I haven’t seen anything about the size of the entire slideshow.

  Best regards.

  Hello

  I am sorry that did not work. I am curious if you left the changes or took them back out, since i see no difference from before.

  There are two other things to try. The first is to remove the Sidebar Widget, which would allow more room for the slideshow. The second is to set the Slideshow as the Featured Image.

  The page for your theme is at:
  https://wordpress.com/theme/twentysixteen

  If you go there and scroll down almost half way, there is a section entitled No Sidebar Layout which references the Widgets page:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/
  Where you can find out how to remove the Sidebar Widget.

  This will allow an image up to 840 px wide.

  You can also make the slideshow a Featured Image. You already know how to make a slideshow, there is no need to cover that again. The Featured Image for that theme is recommended to be to 1200 px wide!

  Try either or both of those and see what you think! I would like to see the results

  best regards,
  dave
