Hello.
(1) I have two webpages, and I have Newspaper 8 on one of them, and Newspaper 7 on the other that was bought in April this year. I am using Block 12 for both of the pages. For the template that was bought in April, the images appear noticeably sharper for Block 12 compared to the newest template. I would like images to be as sharp as possible.
(2) When uploading a logo to the Newspaper 8, it seems that any predefined sized in terms of pixels do not affect the appearance of the logo on the site. For the template that was bought in April, I do not have this problem. Additionally, the logo uploaded on the template from April is again noticeably sharper than for the newest template downloaded.
Best,
Glenn
Hello Glenn,
Maybe you are using some untested plugins which are not compatible with Newspaper 8 and that’s why you got this, sorry! I do not know what kind of plugin you are using but please notice that we do not recommend using any others plugins for this optimizations because it is not required. Try to make a new clean install from scratch via FTP way, clear all the caches and use only the plugins that come bundled with the theme core files and check the results. If the problem is still there, you should provide your website URL and also, some useful screenshots with before/after results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Catalin.
Thank you for the response. I have just downloaded the theme, so I just have an youtube-gallery plugin and a wp cache plugin installed, in addition to the plugins coming with the template. The Newspaper 7 version has many more plugins, and still clearer images. There is only a difference for the images uploaded to the blocks, not images uploaded otherwise, so just look at the posts and associated images beneath the ‘spotlight’ heading on the page. If you could have a look and compare:
(i) With clear images for the blocks: http://www.thecar.no
(ii) With more fuzzy images for the blocks: http://www.thecarindia.com
Also:
– I would like to remove the author identification on the posts (perhaps I have overlooked a feature)
– I would also like to take away the black-comment symbol showing on the right side of the post
– I am not able to get the logo larger in size without using the max-size feature the new template. The logo also appear more sharp for the previous template (both are png files).
In advance, thank you.
Best,
Glenn
Hi,
If you do not have any plugins on the new install, that could be affecting the image, then that is the way the thumbnail should be displayed in the first place.
Maybe the images are different on the first website that you provided. You might have made there some image optimization, or installed plugins in this matter.
That could be the case, if there is a difference between the image quality. The theme does not affect the image quality, the thumbs will simply be created from the featured images yo use.
Please check the installed plugins on the website where the images are clearer, or maybe the image optimizations made there.
Thanks
Hi.
Thank you for the feedback. I have not optimized any images in the Newspaper 7 theme. I have imported posts from Newspaper 7 to Newspaper 8 – can that be the reason?
Please respond to these issues as well:
– I would like to remove the author identification on the posts (perhaps I have overlooked a feature)
– I would also like to take away the black-comment symbol showing on the right side of the post
– I am not able to get the logo larger in size without using the max-size feature the new template. The logo also appear more sharp for the previous template (both are png files).
In advance, thank you.
Best,
Glenn
Hi,
The author name can be removed from the post page, in the theme panel
– https://www.screencast.com/t/N9q9lYLuM
The comment count can be disabled in the same post settings
– https://www.screencast.com/t/to3uWvBg
Each header style has a recommended logo size
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/logo-favicon/
Header styles 9, 10 and 11 do not have a limit for the header logo size. In these header style you can use any size you want
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/header-styles/
The images and logo displayed should be the same for both versions of the theme. I believe nothing has changed in the theme updates to affect the image quality. Try testing with all plugins disabled on both installs, and upload the same photo. Then check for differences.
Also remove any modifications done through the theme files if there are any (like image filters)
Thanks
