1.For the home page slider, the image size is currently blown out, what should be the size for that image ? (see link : http://prntscr.com/q8tt8i )
2. The home page slider image is now playing the top post, the featured image. however i would to either have a video showing there, if not a different image showing here . (http://prntscr.com/q8tugr)
i think what i want to achieve is close to the video blog demo here :
1/ As you can see you're using a slider full screen - so, please try use images with at least 1900px width to get best results on the slider.
2/ Currently, this theme doesn't support to display video from posts there. But, I think you can use featured video background option from the theme to display a featured video there.
You can check option for video background via Customize > Featured Video Background Options.
As for 2 ) okay ive tried using the feature video background option, but that makes the the feature background static on mobile and tablet so thats not what i want.
2/ If so, let's use a featured posts slider ( not Penci Slider ) and make sure you don't check to Customize > Featured Slider Options > "Hide Post Format Icons"
After that, let's create a video post format and the play icon will be displayed - check this image: https://prnt.sc/q94c38
howevery I have a question on how to showcase by manually select certain post i want, or manually select a slide or image from media library ( because I have an online shop , i want to market the products along with blog content on the slider)
4. Is it possible to have the featured image different from what the featured video post is automatically showing ?
2/ Please go to Customize > Single Post Options > on "Blockquote Style" > select "Style 2"
3/ The featured posts slider will based on posts - so you can't be select a custom image from Media if you use featured posts slider. If you're looking for a custom slider doesn't based on posts, you can use Penci Slider.
For filter the posts on the slider, you can use featured tag to do that. Please do following steps:
a) Create a new tag ( Posts > Tags ) - example: featured
b) Add this tag for all posts you want to display on the slider.
c) Go to Customize > Featured Slider Options > on "Filter Featured Slider By" > select "Featured Tags" and fill the tag slug ( It's "featured" in my example ) to "Fill List Featured Tags for Featured Slider"
4/ The images display on the featured posts slider will auto get from your featured image here. So if you want to change the image display on the slider/layouts - you need to change the featured image on edit posts.
As I see you've set a max width for your logo on vertical navigation - please remove or change it to bigger value via Customize > Vertical Nav & Hamburger Menu Options
