Picture sizes

Hello Larshell,

Unfortunately, it is not a simple task to achieve what you want. Each of blocks are using a different thumb with a specific size and WordPress will crop the image top center.

In order to identify the ideal/average size, you need to figure out which is the largest container that will display that particular image and upload an image bigger than that container. Then there is the post template to consider. If you use post templates with big image backgrounds (style 6, 7 or 8), then your uploaded image has to be bigger (especially on style 8). You need to assess your website’s layout (posts and block elements) and come up with an average image size that will work on smaller containers but also keep good quality on bigger ones.
You can read more about thumbs and featured images here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/

The theme uses thumbs to reduce the page size and speed up page loading time. From each image uploaded are generated thumbs for each thumb size used by the theme. Basically, when a post it’s displayed on the page in a block, the featured image displayed is not the one which you uploaded in the media file, it’s a thumb cropped from the original image at the precise dimension. To change the picture orientation most likely you will need a different cropping system. We use a WordPress function – add_image_size() – you can read about it here – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size – and here – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/

To display more levels you need custom modifications and I suggest to hire a freelancer to do this for you as we cannot provide custom work at this time, sorry!

Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!

Thank you for the message!
