Search Results for 'image sizes'

Hi

There is no ideal size for the feature images but in order to fit the thumb container it should have at least the sizes of thumb’s container, because WordPress doesn’t enlarges images. If you already use bigger images and still have issues with them, try to clear all caches purge cdn files also deactivate the plugins, leave just Visual Composer active, and make sure you regenerated the thumbs after theme’s update, then test again.
Let me know how it goes and if the problem persist please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your sites login details and we will inspect this issue, also include a link to this topic.

Thanks!

Thank you, that solved the problem, but I have a new issue because I can not find the right size for the featured image. I have tested with different sizes and the grid always have some trouble. I leave some screenshots here:

Thanks for your reply!

Actually, GTMetrix isn’t suggesting that I just make the images smaller. It’s saying that the images are being displayed at that specified width and height in the <img> tag, but the actual file is bigger and has to be scaled down to that display — which means a few extra kb of image have been downloaded.

The theme does in fact use that size, indirectly: http://www.screencast.com/t/6sIqSW4yk

After poking around, I realized what’s happening. It’s the CSS scaling to different screen sizes that results in these extra dimensions, so GTMetrix must be doing its virtual render on a “screen” less than 1200px wide.

Since the dimensions of these <img> change dynamically after page load, the image file doesn’t get downloaded again for each scaled-down size, nor would we want it to. So this is not really a problem. 🙂

Maybe a documentation note to explain this for anyone looking at the warnings from speed tests like this?

Hi

1. The banners provided with the theme are just examples, and they are recommended sizes to be used for header, sidebar image banners. You can create your own banner size if you like, and use them according to our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/header-ad/ To add your banner ad just replace in theme ad spots the url with your banner source url: http://screencast.com/t/YBexMUCv
In case you’re using adsense code the dimension are available in theme panel > ads: http://screencast.com/t/VpmwYojnhy

2. The theme doesn’t have an option to slide the banners, but you can try a plugin like AdRotate to achieve that functionality.

Let me know how it goes!

Thanks!

Thanks!

One thing I noticed – in the theme panel it says 696×385 is used for the 2 column slider but when I check on the site it uses a 640×385 image. I looked on the server and can’t find 696×385 size images. Can it be it is making the image in 640×385 and if so do you have a fix?

I’m switching off some of the thumbnail sizes as we have 55,000+ images in the media library and creating 20 thumbnails for each image will take very long and take up a lot of space.

Try clearing your caches, CDN expirations, etc.

Use the “regenerate thumbnails” plugin to create thumbs to fit this theme’s layout/sizes.

I don’t think all the photos from the demo are included as they may be royalty images which require a license; not sure.

Thanks, I found problem was the old functions.php file had some image sizes from old theme. Just had to remove the code and resize the thumbs.

Now that you mention the regeneration of thumbnails. With my old theme, the size of my website was 1GB more or less. Now it’s over 4GB, because Newspaper requires so many different sizes of images.

Thanks Alin,

1. Ads then use custom 1-5 (I can add adrotate widgets to Newspaper 6 sidebar though too? Any widget can go in your sidebar?

2.

I’ve done that just as you asked:

Deactivated all plugins – cleared all caches

Activated one by one – Result EWWW Image Optimizer causes the class errors (I have left it deactivated but installed) I’m sure I can use an alternative plugin to manage media upload minimise sizes.

Could you look at some CSS for me? Need no ads anywhere at all on ‘All listings’ ‘For rent’ ‘For sale’ and the ‘single listing’ quality

Sorry for the trouble but really want to use theme and the ad thing is a problem for the Real Estate advertisers. You can see how it’s worked on westbridgfordwire.com/for-rent/ with this css from theme author below: I tried the CSS from the WP-Prosperity author below in Newspaper 6 but it wouldn’t do anything

body.single-properties .banner-ad { display:none !important; }

So in the current ‘live’ theme there’s a tick box for remove all ads (I know you don’t have that no worries) – and additional custom CSS to remove header ad

Best wishes
