If I added a bunch of images instead of a gallery (because I couldn't see how to resize the pictures in the gallery to show the whole pictures if at a smaller scale- it kept cutting heads and feet, adjusting height and width didn't do it-) can I still do this?. Because I'm clicking at everythign clickable and I can't select all the images at once.
If it has to be a gallery instead of many images, then how can I have a gallery that will let me resize pictures so they are not automatically cropped one way or another? That they appear smaller but showing the full picture? Thanks

Try clicking on manage gallery. Then select an image. You can try the Layout option. Fit should work, or you can edit the image.
If your original images are very different is size and orientation it might have a strange look. Images in a slideshow should all be the same size.

So just to double check I need to change what I have now (many images added ) for a gallery?

I'm sorry, it depends on what you want. If you placed manay images instead of a gallery, you can leave the images there as static pictures. If you want to have a slideshow, then you do need a galley.

I'm sorry, it's taking me an incredible amount of time to get this done and I can't seems to, way too complicated. Can I suggest an easier way where you can just resize the images with arrows?. I have now clicked on adding a gallery (4 images) there's no way I can resize them that I can see (no arrows to pull, no settings with measures). I can't find the layout option on this one either (clicked add+ then image gallery).

This is the page as it was (with many images added as a folder) and I've added the gallery at the bottom so you can see

The slideshow only works if all your pics are resized to the same height.
For example, if you have a 200high x 200 tall pic, and a 300high x 300tall pic, and a 400high x 400tall pic... you would have to resize them all to be 200 high. Then you would stretch your slideshow box to be as wide as the widest pic.

Ideally in a slideshow for the best results, all images should be of identical measurements. It makes for a much better look.

If you aren't seeing the images above then you are probably using a different builder. The images are from the new Websitebuilder. The desktop version and SiteBuilder + do not off a slideshow capability.

I know how to create an Image Gallery, but I'm looking to create a scrolling banner type slideshow, not a single image at a time, so that the images continuously scroll across the top. I've done it before, but can't seem to find it again. Thanks for your help

There was an element in Sitebuilder for scrolling, but Websitebuilder only has the slideshow. You can use the transitions, set to slide instead of fade, but 1 second interval is the shortest available.

Hmm ... Do you know if I could copy and paste the element from the old website to the new website and make it still work?
Thanks again for your help. That was a great feature. I'm very sad they removed it 8-(

Unfortunately not. The elements are not interchangeable.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Slide show with Website Builder.
Can a slide show be created in section A of the home page in the Website Builder? I know it's an option with Site Builder but I'm not able to find the option in Website Builder. Thanks for the help.

Is there a way to allow the visitor an option to pause the slideshow? (besides the popup option)

If they click on an image it will go to a photo gallery that allows them to manually scroll. Unfortunately there is no pause button.

I know how to make the slideshow for the website, but is there a way for it to work as a slideshow on the mobile side?

Go to the mobile editor and select the gallery. Turn on the custom style. On the settings, turn off All items on 1 page. Set the number of items to 1 and select the desired gallery transitions.

Don't know if I'm blind or crazy, but I'm not seeing the "image gallery". I'm using the desktop version of sitebuilder. Is the image gallery only available in the online version of sitebuilder?
