Wordpress Site: Navigation Dropdown boxes do not show?

Someone trying to access our website ( http://www.virginiahorsecouncil.org/ ) says that when she hovers over the Navigation headings, none of the drop down boxes appear for her. They do for me, so I have no way to try to trouble shoot it. Does anyone else have this problem? If not, does anyone have any idea as to why those dropdown boxes would NOT work for someone?

 

The header image needs to be that big for that theme or it won't look right. But are you talking about the photos at the bottom?

 

Please be patient as all this Wordpress stuff is brand new to me and I've pretty much learned everything I did here on that website in the last couple of months by the seat of my pants.

Regarding the main images, every single time I've tried to use something smaller, it ends up bringing the photo "forward" so that (in the case of the image with the lake), all you end up seeing is, for example, the area in the middle or near the top, so you'd see maybe the top of the rider's head and the water of the lake. If I don't use photos that are HUGE (and I agree, it's a pain), then they don't work correctly. I spent days.......WEEKS......resizing and changing photos until I was ready to cry. As you can see, not all pages even now HAVE a header photo, though that was the original intention, because it's been so frustrating.

As for the smaller photos at the bottom in the sliders, I could probably make the sliders smaller and then resize the images to be smaller, too. This this may all take a while since I'm about burned out with using this stupid Wordpress and I've also been learning how to install and configure and edit and use the WooCommerce, since the organization HAS to have that functional. I actually just spent ALLLLL day today adding and customizing required check out fields that our organization needs for office data so that it is included during checkout AND included in the "new order" email that is sent to the office.

*sigh*.........so far, I'm not really happy with using Wordpress. And I'm very frustrated.

 

Yes, we did get the visitor sorted. Thanks or the tip about javascript.

I'll look at those pictures and give it a try today. I do have a resizer program on my computer that will resize in batch mode. I generally use that.

 

Okay, I resized one of the slider pictures at the bottom of that page. I resized a picture on the far right slider of a girl sitting on a horse with ribbons hanging from it's reins. I only made it smaller by 500 pixels. As you can see, now, the picture in the slider is cutting off half of the horse's face.

This is what happens if I use anything less than humungous pictures.

 

I took the photo of the horse and rider at the lake that you attached and added it to the header of this page:

As you can see, most all of the skyline is cut off.

 

For many, I used the Wordpress Media resizing tool. At other times, I've used a resizer tool I have on my desktop. I have used both simply depending on what I've found most convenient at the time.

For the one you provided, I simply downloaded it to my computer, then uploaded it to the media area, then went to the option for that page I linked to to upload the header image and choose the picture you gave me.

As far as the CSS on the homepage, someone else did that for me to get the photo to show as well as it does now on that page, though I'd rather have more skyline showing. It really doesn't seem to matter WHAT I want the picture to show, lol, it never really ever shows ANY picture I put on those header images the way I want them to or expect them to according to how the photo displays, unless they are enormous. Even then, there have been a few that would show only the top part of the photo, or just the bottom part, etc.

 

Did you see that other photo I resized in the right hand slider? I used the Wordpress Media resizing tool for that one.

 

I chose the photo on the right, above, and uploaded it to the media content. I then removed the current image of that photo, and replaced it with this one you've given me. Unfortunately, it still cuts off a part of the horse's face when viewed in the slider on the actual web page.
