images not sizing correctly in Big slide block

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi, my images won’t size correctly in the big slide block. They will all fit if there is some enlarging/cropping but not much is needed for any image. Is there any way to get them to fit automatically?

Also, if they don’t fit, the area for the big slide that is not filled with an image is grey. Is there anyway to change its color to white? Visually this will help solve the sizing problem

Hello,

For the big grid thumbs, you first need to check if the thumb for the big grid is enabled. Here is a list of thumbs used in our theme and there is mentions of where the thumb is used next to the option: https://www.screencast.com/t/exmfmPTf0GZ
Then you will have to make sure the image itself is bigger than the thumb size. If your image is smaller then the thumb, then you will have to either upload a bigger image or use an upscale plugin as the theme will not enlarge images. it only crops them.

Thank you!

I’ll give it a go.

Do you know how to make the area of the grid not filled by an image to be white, not grey.

Visually this looks a lot better if the image does not fit.

Hi,

It would be better to try and use images that will fit properly for best results. I could give you a code to make the background color white like you want, like this for example

.td-big-grid-post .td-module-thumb {
background-color: white;
}

Try entering it in Theme panel->Custom Css and see if it what you want.

Thanks

yep, upscaler doesnt work. some of the images actually get smaller. There’s no way I can adjust 3000 images to the right size.

I have to say, I think scaling images is a basic requirement of grids. I am amazed that this is not standard.

Hi,

There must be a thumbnail upscale plugin that you can try and see if it will make the images the images to fit better. Three is no other easy way if you have many posts with this problem. You can search here on the forum for plugin recommendation in this matter from other users, maybe you will find some useful advice.

Thanks
