I’m using smart list 2 for all my post and i have not control on any image regarding of their size some picture comes with small size and some comes with big size here u can see the image sizes which i want to make same size for all images – http://curiosityhuman.com/top-10-celebrities-beautiful-smile/ , 4 Taylor Lautner (American Actor) is bigger and 9 Kristen Stewart is smaller whereas I try to make their same size for all images.
Hello mrx,
Please notice that the placeholder is just one but you have seen more of these because our theme uses a lot of thumbs dimensions and that’s why if you want to change the placeholder image and you will have to do it using all these sizes. Depending on what type of Blocks/modules you are using, you can set what type of placeholder image to change. As you can see, your desired images for placeholder should be replaced here -> http://screencast.com/t/4HXJfczwk and here -> you will see all the sizes for our images which are used according to what blocks/modules is used by you -> http://screencast.com/t/dGkStpiXS
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Catalin,
Thanks for your reply. Ok, i can see the thumbnail sizes in the theme options, But i still didn’t get it.
1) For example, i can see the thumb size (100×70) is used for: Module 6,7 and Block 1, 2, 7, 8, 16
– What does module 6, 7 refers to? Is it in the prebuilt demos?
2) On my home page, i’m using one of the pre-built demos.. and in the visual composer editor, i can see “Big Grid 7”, as shown here: https://s31.postimg.org/uldmsstwr/Visual_composer.jpg
– Does the Block 7 in the theme options refers to the Big Grid 7 in Visual composer?!
3) The image i’ve uploaded earlier as a featured image was 504 × 544 (which is a large image, however it wasn’t showing right as shown here): https://s32.postimg.org/bdub5yp79/image_resize.jpg
So, my other question is: What is the recommended image size for featured images to show correctly on homepage? without having the need to regenerate thumbnails?
Thanks for your help & patience
Hello AndrewAAE,
As you can see, our theme uses the thumbnails for all images and cut them, after a certain size. Our thumbs sizes could be found here -> http://screencast.com/t/fwh2unf9GQtd depending on what block is used.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi Catalin,
Thanks for a quick reply, I found the problem, image sizes weren’t correct because of Photon CDN, after disabling the plugin everything went to normal.
Hi there,
Please check my site http://www.somethingcool.ca/cool/the-masterful-art-of-trompe-loei/
all images on it became smaller after an update and I can’t make them bigger.
For some reason it seems this theme is creating a ton of different sized images everytime I upload a new one. I have the following sizes being created automatically:
100×70
1024×768
1068×580
1068×801
150×150
218×150
265×198
and so on… there are 21 different sizes being created for each photo which is absolutely killing my storage.
HELP!
Hello,
If you switched from a different themes, than the newspaper theme did not create it;s specific thumb sizes yet so you will have to regenerate your thumbnails. Please use this guide:

Thank you!
Hi guys, hope you’re all well.
I am exploring different big grids for my site re-launch using Newspaper instead of Newsmag, and have been toying with Big Grid 9 stretched across a full-width row, like this: http://www.screencast.com/users/stuartmasson/folders/Default/media/a1832bfb-6002-462e-8b44-94b9f28df139
My problem is that the images need to be resized. Can you please point me in the direction of how to do this, if it is possible?
Many thanks,
stuart
Hello we have set a wordpress site using the Newspapper theme!!
We have change the default page width 1068px to 1300px.
On single post page where use the feature image.Although the image is cropped to 696 x 522px(YELLOW rectangle in image) and if we change the image’s width with css the images are became stretched.
The question is how may we change the theme to crop the image to 784*526(see here: http://tessera.gr/various/ticket_for_tagdiv.jpg)!
Thank you.
Best Regards,
George
Hi, we have a problem with featured images on our website (http://newsbitt.rs). By some random order they suddenly won’t load at all (we get gray background instead of featured images) or they are loading aligned to left (we get a part of featured image and the rest is gray background). We are sure that it doesn’t have anything to do with featured images sizes, because the problem is the same, no matter if featured image is for example 1200x700px or 1920x1080px (or larger). The screenshots of this problem is in links below.
P.S. We regularly update the Newspaper theme and its plugins.
Hello, I have a few questions about the theme.
Dev site link: http://wv.cloudaccess.host
1. I noticed some of the thumbnails are producing different sizes. The first blog post featured image has a taller height and the eighth one down is also producing the same result. Do you suggest a recommended height/width for all featured images to prevent this from taking place going forward?
2. Is it possible to place in-line advertising code within a block/grid? We were hoping to drop in ad code 5 headlines down and it doesn’t appear the Visual Composer allows you to do that. We didn’t notice an area in the Theme Panel that had this custom coded either.
Thanks!
What size(s) are best for the images used in each of the Smart List styles?
I’ve searched the forum and been able to fix my duplicate smart list image by deactivating the photon feature of Jetpack and not using special characters in the ‘alt tags’ but have not found a list of the image sizes we should use for optimal display for each of the smart list styles.
Hello sniperetn,
Upon further investigation, as you can see on your demo preview for Block 13, this is the default theme behaviour for this type of block/module. As I could see on your website, you are using the Block 13 without sidebar, using the full-width of the theme, right? So, this block uses the module 14 to display the feature image. In this case, the thumb is created as properly, with this sizes -> 696*385 px -> http://screencast.com/t/Q4aitWfJpL8o If you do not use the sidebar, the feature image was cropped to the thumb dimension and then with a bit of CSS it will be stretched to fit full width of the theme which is 1068px and that’s why your image is not clear because it loses quality. If you check our demo, you will see the same behaviour for this Block, like this -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-13/ -> http://screencast.com/t/QDr9R8kqkt and the same case appears on your website, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/r7hIXbIsbmjs
As a hint, as you can do in this regard, would be to change the thumb dimension from the module 14, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/7vYhy9B5qpf9 -> http://screencast.com/t/XciGoQrE and then you will have to regenerate your Thumbnails using the Regenerate Thumbnails or Fore Regenerate. Please notice that additional customization may be required and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
i have two questions:
I would love to display blocks in that new “are” design (inspired by Pinterest. I understand we would need to develop it, but could you please give me some pointers on how to do it?
At the very minimum I would like the title of the post to be on a solid strip below the image without any overlays on the image. (maybe there is something I could do in “grid” block about it?)
Ideally I would like cards to be of different sizes (pretty much like you have in the block 8) just with titles on a solid strip under the photo and with some margins between the posts.
Question about image sizes:
we would like to use “ad” options to put our own images of sponsored projects. We would like and mix them in amongst other blocks as much as we can. What are the image sizes wo that they fit with the overall design. E.g. how long is ⅔ of a screen (if i select that option in columns on the main page) or how tall is one section in block 21? – so if i place our image to the side of that block they visually line up?
Thank you!
Thanks a lot Bogdan.
I will be doing all the needed changes in the backend to ensure the articles are created with the minimum image sizes in mind.
I have regular wordpress galleries in quite a few of my posts. They are set to 1 column and image size is “full” but when displayed in the theme (post) the images seemed to be restricted vertically to a height of 385 – so all the pictures looked different sizes instead of filling the post area.
While running the recommended “thumbnail regenerate” plugin, now the gallery I was experimenting with shows as giant cropped thumbnails. How do I get the theme to just recognize the wordpress gallery as it is without manipulating the pictures sizes or cropping?
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme will not upscale your images. It only crops them. You need to upload images bigger than the containers on the homepage if you want them to display properly. There is another issue on your end though. Your site does not use thumbnails for images. you nned to make sure your thumbs are set for the blocks that you use on your site: http://screencast.com/t/yYYqdI8O And then use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
As for the image sizes, there is no ideal image size I can recommend. You will have to asses the containers and thumbs you plan on using on your site and the post templates as well. if you use post templates that use the full size images like: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-2015-awards-all-of-the-best-and-worst-moments-from-the-show/ then a full had image is required. If not, you need to inspect every element especially on the homepage. If you use big grids, your images must be at least the size of the big grid container otherwise they will not fit inside and not display properly. Here is a list of all thumbs used in our theme:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
also:

Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please explain further. What is span3 and span9 ? If you mean the block sizes/display the first block 12 is using the 2/3 + 1/3 option which is working OK, and the block not showing the images/links correctly is also block 12 with the 1/4 +3/4 size.
Just want to share.
I now know the culprit or the source of the missing Images sizes which is the EWWW Image Optimizer Plug-in. I hope both ends could be fixed on the next updates.
Some images now show different sizes and are no longer linked up after the update to version 3.
https://www.iisnet-networks.com/ The images under hosting with red background are correct size and links work, but scroll down to “vps hosting” and the three images there are tiny thumbnails with no links.
Tried clearing cache, reload images etc.
Suggestions please.
Hi
There is no much we can’t do in this regard as the images loaded on mobile are the same as on desktop. A possible solution would be to increase the thumbs sizes but this may affect page’s layout in some cases. To increase the thumb size you have to edit td_config.php and increase the indicated values for each thumb used on the page: http://screencast.com/t/I3pS7B8kt2l
You can also try a plugin like Retina 2x which increase the image resolution for mobile. From our reports this plugin works fine with the theme.
Thanks!
Hi guys,
It seems I am having a problem with the Smart List 4. I get duplicate images: a thumb and a full width. http://screencast.com/t/S8SWEOs0
Also, I noticed the missing images or media sizes after updating to wordpress 4.0 last time. I only got a thumb at 150 x 150 and a full size.
Please, I need your help. Thanks
My host provider says you have passed the limit number of files (100.000) on the server. Now it is getting me into trouble. How can I turn off some image generation sizes for the purpose of reducing number of files in the future, is it a theme option or wp option?
Hi.
I’ve installed Regenerate Thumbnails, I’ve pressed the “Regenerate All Thumbnails” button, but I don’t see in the page the correct sizes.
The web is https://www.butarque.es
I don’t have installed any optimizer images plugin.
What else can I do?
Thank you.
