    So I purchased a WP theme that has a slider and you add images to the slider by uploading them throup WP back end under the slider control area. you set it as a featured image and it goes in the slider. Anyway. I want the image to be 600 px high.. when I upload it and comfirm for it to stay its original size it says the right size. 1946w x 600px … but once I look at it on the site its only 550 px wide. Even when I look in firebug. sure enough something has changed it and forced it to be 1950 by 600. the 1950 is fine but I need it to be 600. Here are 2 images of what Im talking about. Ive searched the files to the best of my knowledge. CSS and PHP or js stuff to see if I can change something. I changed one thing and it did nothing. Can someone please help?

    What is the name of the slider you’re using?

    I have used flex slider before. It is a responsive slider. It is most likely setting the width of the image to 100% with CSS. This will make the image as wide as the slider.

    So strange.. so I just discovered.. when it saves a version of that image I upload its actually cropping it! LIke when I look at the image online by right clicking on it. it is cropped at 550 tall when I had uploaded it at 600! how is it doing that and why…

    Thanks everyone. ChrisP that was it! I had already found that and changed the numbers.. but I didnt realize I needed to reupload the image etc. the strange thing is I didnt find a $crop… but it was forcing it to that specific size and I guess still cropping it. so once i changed those numbers to the add_image_size for the slider and reuploaded my full size images all was good. Thanks so much guys! I really appreciate it.
