Hi,
The theme uses a center-top cropping system, this is believed to be the best in general. Each theme module has a predefined thumbnail size, so results may be different for the same featured image used

It is a matter of finding the most optimal blocks and grids to display your content, with the best results.
Here you can see how all the blocks, grids and full grids look

Hi again, there’s an additional thing I don’t understand: I create a post, write my text and add a picture in the “featured image” block. But, after publishing, I see the featured image in the post (top left of the text). There’s obviously something I’m missing or doing wrong. Could you kindly help?
Hi,
Each post needs to have a featured image set, in order for the thumbnails to be created
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
The theme will crop the images and create thumbnails
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/
If an image is not set, the theme will display a default no-thumb placeholder on the modules. As for the size of the featured image, there is no recommendation. The demo you install contains mostly images of 1068 × 713 px, as mentioned. However, for superior thumbnail quality you could use bigger image sizes. For example, in the live demo this featured image size is used for a post
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/01-girl.jpg
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
The mega menu uses a thumbnail as well, the thumbnail size cannot be changed

There are multiple post templates that you can choose from

See them live in the demo (Features menu).
Thanks
