Hi, I have a banner slider on our homepage. This is an animated gif. 3 or 4 months ago, it worked fine but for whatever reason now it won't work.
I've previewed the Gif in browsers, photoshop etc and it works fine. I've even made other ones, but when I upload it to the Studio Press theme it just becomes a static image in the site.
Can anyone help me with this?

When you load an image to the media library, any additional image sizes defined by your theme will be generated. You are displaying one of those generated images. You are not displaying the animated gif. The animations don't carry over when you create the thumbnails. In your case, the original file is named 20153.gif. The image you are displaying is 20153-750x387.gif.

Have you requested your free website audit yet?March 15, 2015 at 12:00 pm #144483daveyboyMemberHi Victor, the url link to the image I'm using in the Feature Image link is: http://www.shorescripts.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/20153.gif so it isn't 20153-750?—387.gif. Where did you get that url from by the way?
As you can see, the link used works as a gif when you go to the image directly, however, when you view it on the homepage/in the site, it doesn't.
Do you know why it's not working as the image does work as an animated GIF.
Cheers.

Resize 20153.gif to 750x387 and rename it as such. Use FTP to overwrite the 20153-750?—387.gif that is there now with the animated gif and it will work on your home page.

However, it wouldn't overwrite the file name even though I uploaded the exactly same name on ftp. I had to delete that older folder, still hasn't worked. It's made an extended file name in page source http://www.shorescripts.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/20153-750%C3%973871-750x387.gif which it is now using to display the image. That image file name doesn't exist anywhere on my ftp or media library. I've tried renaming the file to that name and uploading it but it makes no difference.
Before all I had to do is upload a new image in Feature Image in the post for it to change. Now, for whatever reason it doesn't want to change this file whatever I do. All files are 750x387.
Seems crazy. Do you know what's going on?
