If the height you want for your slider is not one of the preset heights, you can input a custom height by selecting the “Custom” option.

To display an image in the slider widget, either upload it or choose it from the previously submitted images. It is advised to choose the images based on the height of your slider widget. The width of the image should be at least 1400 pixels for best outcomes. Additionally, the height of the image should match the height of the slider. The image size should be 1400 x 300, for instance, if you are using a slider that is 300 pixels taller. Similarly, the image size should be 1400 x 500 if you are using a slider that is 500 pixels taller.
