What are the recommended image sizes for this theme?
I’ve chosen a particular size that seems to work for all of teh modules I need but…
What is the recommended image width for a full width image in post (boxed layout with sidebar)?
I checked an image I had put in the post previously and the theme had scaled into 696 x 333 so I created a custom image size and tried to reupload the image as the new custom size…
For some reason though when I select teh custom size it will not give me the correct dimensions even though the image perfectly fits those dimensions – instead it shows but the custom size will not show. Instead it shows a different dimension 640 x 306.
BUT when I check the image after inserting it the dimensions are correct 696 x 333.
I need to standardize the image so wp-retina can properly generate the retina version.
Any idea why this would be happening?
Hi,
There’s no ideal image size, the modules have thumbs with different aspect ratios and a part of the image may get lost on the cropping process. You could read more about the featured image size here (it’s from Newsmag documentation but the principles are the same) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/image-size/
The “large in post size” it’s not a default size, please provide more details on it (plugin used, settings).
From your first image i see that the cropping option is disabled, enable it and check if the issue is still there (you may have to regenerate the thumbs).
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,
No that didnt work.
What I need to know is what width dhould an image be if I want it to place it inside a post on the boxed layout – so it fills the space.
I do all my images as 640×480 (or 640xNNN; 640×320) and let the chips fall as they may.
My images 750×525. I generally use 100×70, 80×60 and 150×105 images on my site.
Hi,
@skyride what plugin do you use to generate other image sizes? http://www.mediafire.com/view/w9cfgu4fwvjn4jl#
