No, you need to replace the files slide-image-1.jpg through slide-image-3.jpg as I read somewhere in the docs. The copyright line is there for a reason... but you can only remove it by editing page.tpl.php or hiding the CSS class "credit".

I need Help. I would like someone to give me STEP-BY-STEP instructions to change images in Slideshow. I am using Drupal 7.
I just cannot find my way when I get to "SlideShow" (Content) page under structure - Views - Edit. Can someone help me from there. On "SlideShow" (Content) I can see all pictures at the bottom of the page. Please help

How do you actually change the slideshow images? The instruction says:

To change the Slide Images, Replace the slide-image-1.jpg, slide-image-2.jpg and slide-image-3.jpg in the images folder of the responsive theme folder.

but can I change those images from within the CMS or do I need access to the folders on the server (which I don't have)? I can't find this folder anywhere.

Can anyone give me a pointer to the location. I believe that is what the above poster was asking too.

Through the sever would be the ideal method, but also check the theme settings on the appearance admin tab. I don't recall if this theme allows you to set the images directly through there or not.

Solution: Create a new block...

Let's create a new block for the song called "Header_top"
and replace the page.tpl.php Slider for the new block

Step 1 - Create the new block responsive.info file called "Header Top" (Before we had the block "Header" only)
...
regions [sidebar_first] = First sidebar
regions [header_top] = Header Top
regions [header] = Header
....

Step 2 - Replace the file page.tpl.php code for the lines 116 to 147:
...
   <? php if ($ page ['header_top']):?>
   

class="flexslider">
     <? php print render ($ page ['header_top']);?>
   

   

    <? php endif;?>
...

Note that we add the class "flexslider" to block, but you can create your own class.

Ready!. Now you have a new block you can use. Give a flush before.

Bye.

If its just the images you want to change in your view slideshow module
Its simple just click on content in the menu bar and then select any
content you want to change click on edit and remove the image and
upload the new one and click on save thats it.

It is really simple select content from admin menu. All the contents are listed. Locate and select the content that you want to edit.After that click on the edit button.

I know its a small issue, but i dont understand where i am getting wrong .The theme says : just change the slide images with the new images in the theme folder images. ( Venture theme 7.1.1)

- changed the pixels to 1280x450 and name similar to the previous one ( it didnt worked out)
- Replaced the images with the same name and dimesiosns, ( it didnt worked out)
- compressed the sizes similar to previous one. ( it didnt worked out)
- checked php files, but didnt got success.
- images are replaced from the folder, even then it showing the same slide images.?

i can understand it would be bit hard to reply for this small issue, But actually i am stuck here :P
Would really appreciate for any help!

Thanks

Issue summary: View changes

If you don't use a child theme, the slideshow should be in yoursitename\sites\all\themes\responsive\images. You have to put your slides there by overwriting slide-image-1.jpg, slide-image-2.jpg and slide-image-3.jpg. In my case 960 x 400 pixels fills full width.
This works on all devices i tested.

I hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for replying Hendrik.! ... Really appreciate that.

- i changed the image by 960x400.
- replaced the images rite there in 'images' folder.
- cleared site as well browser cache

Still not working! :(
Its still showing the same default images that come with the theme.

This must be a caching issue, or you are using a theme on a site address that is not what you think.
Check the image http address ('inspect element' in Chrome with a right mouse click on the item) and look in the new window if the pic is the one you expect to be there. You can try a direct http... to this address in the browser to verify.
If there is a difference, i'd say there must be some kind of caching or proxy in between.

Fact is that this theme does not support child themes as I expected for these items. You have to make the changes in the original theme, and repeat this after an update. So your images should be in: ..\sites\all\themes\responsive\images to be effective.

I'm also not a pro and spended a lot of time to discover what was happening. The theme works, but not always in the way that i thought.
For some items I just hide the display through css overruling. I found these classes through Chrome, the inspect tool. perhaps this can help you.

I just install the Business theme in Drupal 7. So of course have to change the images. I read that custom themes are stored locally. Ok-locally where? I can't locate: /sites/all/themes/business/images/slide-image-3.jpg

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
