Hello, I love the theme……I am using Big Grid/Grid style 4 for the homepage. http://www.carolyncowan.com.
Please can you advise as to the correct size for images on the left hand side (larger box) as everytime I try to add an image at 1062×712 it is automatically cropped and I cannot see any text. If I make it smaller then the imaged which is featured on the post is no longer full size and justifies to the left.
Thank you
Hello Sophie,
Unfortunately, this is the ‘problem’ about cropping system. Our theme uses the system of cropping from center to top. 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/
Our theme crop (cut) thumbnails in some cases to avoid creating a lot of thumbnails in order to reduce to load more spaces on the server. I did some investigation on my side and I did a little digging into this matter. Please try to use a bit of CSS and add it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
.td_block_big_grid_1 .td_module_mx5 img {
transform: translate(0px,-45px);
}

Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
