Hi,
I’m using Newspaper theme in my long term blog. The theme is awesome and I’m liking it very much.. But I’m having a few issues, and I would like you to help me to resolve those issue.
1. The featured images of my site is not cropping properly, and thus the pagespeed of my homepage is worse (<45). I need to get at least 80+ Pagespeed for my blog. The featured images are not cropping, even if I select that option from theme panel. I have also regenerate all the thumbnails as mentioned in the documentation. But it didn’t work…
2. I have seen a beautiful border around the big slider on the homepage in the demo version.. But in my site, the slider doesn’t have border around it..and It looks little bit clumsy..
Plz help me to solve these issues !!!
Note WordPress cannot “enlarge” images, only make them smaller, so you need a plugin like Thumbnail Resize to add that function. The theme doesn’t re-render your original images, only make smaller thumbnails from the original image and crop them to maintain aspect ratio with the modules/blocks.
You can also set the compression ratio for the thumbnails as per my sticky post on “optimization” to make the thumbs more optimized for page speed on home page.
When you say “not cropping” — do you have example?
e.g., link to original image on your site,
and link to page where the thumbnail is that isn’t “cropped” ?
The first problem is now solved…But not the 2nd one…
You can visit my site from here (www.galaxyreporter.com).. Check the big slider in above the fold position… There is no border around it…A border around the featured images of the Big Slide will make it look beautiful for sure… Help me plz…
Hi,
I’m not sure if you want this, but you can try to add border for Big Slide and change the color for existing border(between Big slider posts) using custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/PSWqypkz7
.td-big-grid-post-1, .td-big-grid-post-2 {
border-bottom: 3px solid red;
}
.iosSlider.td_block_big_grid.td_block_wrap {
border: 1px solid red;
}
.td_block_big_grid .td-big-grid-post-0 {
border-right: 3px solid red;
}
Thanks!
Hi thanks… But featured images of my site is not loading on PC/Laptop… But it is appearing on mobile/tablets…I think the responsive of my theme is having an issue.. can u kindly check my site out (www.galaxyreporter.com) and give me a solution …
A lot of your post images don’t seem to appear on your home page either?
Be sure to
a) always set a featured image for each post
b) regenerate thumbs for old content
Not sure if that helps.
Actually all was fine till yesterday morning… We always add featured images for each and every post of ours…Only new post’s featured images are not appearing in the home page. I can see the featured images while viewing my site from mobile or tablet. But it is not showing in PC or Laptop.. I think the problem is with the responsiveness of the theme… please help!!
Well, same images are loaded depending on viewport, so the CSS only changes the @media CSS styles for the size of the view, it doesn’t change the photos on/off .. so if your images are not working for me in IE11/Win74 on desktop, and not for you on mobile, that isn’t really a “responsive” issue … which is just CSS.
CSS also doesn’t change from one day to the next, so unless your server got some update, you updated a plugin where there is now some conflict, etc., the CSS can’t suddenly cause a site to stop working one day and then not the next … it’s just style classes such as “font size 10” vs “font size 16” etc based on viewport.
You might need to try clearing all your caches, turn off plugins except for visual composer, clear your mobile device cache, etc., and revisit.
(Oh, you’re not seeing on desktop either …. might be caching issue … dunno …)
Hi,
I have checked your site and looks fine – http://screencast.com/t/spDxSE8aC5G
Please clear cache as Chris suggested already and provide more details if you still have this issue.
Thanks!
