Wooslider/Flexslider Respnsive Image not working

I’m making a portfolio site for a client and so getting responsive images to work is important. Before I converted the design to WordPress everything was all working 100% but I just installed the WordPress plugin called Wooslider which is based off the Flexslider. It has some issues with images, blowing them up until they’re really pixelated, it keeps expanding the images past the size their saved as.

There are two ways to make a slide with this plugin, one with all the attached images to the post and page or by creating each individual slide (as you do with posts and joining them all up by their category)

I had a play around with the plugin’s CSS, and solved the issue with the slide created by the attached images, they had used width: 100% instead of max-width: 100% – I thought this would be the case with another attribute elsewhere, but had no luck so far. I’ve tried also adding in height: auto in some places and still no luck.

Here’re the two CSS codes for the plugin

  1. It appears from reading around trying to resolve this issue that at some point flexslider added a style attribute to images containing the height and width of the image, resulting in any CSS aimed at altering the size rendered useless.

    I simply added this after the call to initialise flexslider:

    $(this).find('li img').removeAttr('style');
    

    This removes any style attributes from the images, and then the width can be controlled by CSS.
