Hi,
I looked into the customizer to try to find a place for the background image for the testimonial rotator but couldn’t figure out where that would be. I was trying to make something that looked like the Rose theme but I’m using Sassafras.

That would be added in the code, when that extra widget area was created, I didn’t do a image section.  It can be changed though.

Oooh I see, I thought that was part of the widget – it’s your spin on it. That’s great. I’d love it to look like the Rose theme if possible.

What size image do I need to make for the image with the rotator? I made one 2000 x 1080 but it became completely cropped. Also, I’d love to have a white box behind my testimonials like how you have things set up in the Rose theme. Is that possible?

That is a good ratio, or even 1500by 800. I have it set up as a background image. That way it will adjust on mobile and fit the testimonials in it without issue. The only problem with that is that it adjusts for the height and not the width. So cropping will occur. If it adjusted for the width only, then the testimonials would not be able to fully fit once you got down to the smaller sized screens.

Ah ok – so I’ll just use an image that looks good cropped in different ways. The one I was using had an open spot on the center for text to show up on top.
