I am using WordPress 3.4.2 with the Graphene Theme 1.8.2 with a Child Theme.

I display a post in the slider and have the following code in Custom css

.featured_slider #slider_root {

background: #fff;

margin: 0 auto;

overflow: hidden;

position: relative;

height: 425px;

width: 100%;

}

The height of 425px seems to cover the longest post but us too deep for the shorter posts.

Is it possible to have a variable height?

I have tried

min-height: 200px;

max-height: 425px:

but it doesn’t seem to work.

Just tried another 2 options and neither work.

height: 100%;

removing the height altogether

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I tried yet another option without success.

height: auto;

doesn’t work! Surely there must be a way?

I still have this problem.

I seem to be taking to myself – no-one has added any suggestions!

Not with CSS. It would require some scripting.

What do you mean by scripting – where would it be needed?

I might add that I only want to display ONE post – just the next concert.

You can adjust the height of <div>‘s by using JavaScript.

This probably will NOT help you, but will give you some idea of the complexity you are facing:

I’ve been thinking about this. This really isn’t what a slider is for. You might want to forgo the slider altogether, add a Graphene action hook widget, and use some PHP to get the excerpt of the desired post.

I’m not sure of the code needed to handle this, as I don’t have the time right now to figure it out, but it’s an idea in a different direction, at least.
