Search Results for 'image sizes'

I think so…

Here’s a screenshot which is of some of my uploads for this month: http://take.ms/YB9b1 I upload one and between 10-15 duplicates appear in different sizes.

You’re saying this is normal? How Will this effect my site?

Do you mean the thumbnails ? All themes create thumbnails at different sizes for use in the layout; this is how the small images come to be when you don’t upload them.

If you’re talking about a different issue, I’ve not seen this happen on any WP theme including latest version of Newspaper on my three installs.

We use couple of plugins to automatically resize images, and also set featured image from image in post; and modify functions.php file to set default compression in WP at “60” (see my post on this many places in forum).

1) add to bottom of your functions.php file before doing regen thumbs
add_filter( 'jpeg_quality', create_function( '', 'return 60;' ) );

2) plugin to upscale images to fit theme sizes
Thumbnail Upscale

3) plugin to set featured post automatically
Auto Post Thumbnail PRO

Well, in my own testing photon did NOT work properly on numerous fronts as it’s not the best way to manage optimization and placement, at least on our sites. It’s loading those images off wp.com and not your own site, so it will be slower and not managed locally by your own site/server speed. A lot of that stuff is for newbies who don’t want to dig in and manage their own site; it’s not for power users at all!

If you look through my posts on this topic, try instead
1) changing default setting for WordPress which uses server side imagemagik modules, change in functions.php by adding directive to set quality at 60 (default is 90)
2) use the plugin for auto creating featured images
3) use the plugin to auto resize images from featured image

These help to manage correct sizes, optimized images without going through another server (wp.com), and I don’t get warnings about any image issues from PageSpeed.

Hi Lucian,

thanks for your reply! I will look into the image sizes and resizing as you suggested.

However, regarding the 1st question I would prefer to have the featured image (the Slider and/or the Big Slider) stretched over the whole site the same way as the parallax articles appearance. Having a background image instead does not look aligned when using style 4 “full width” for articles.

Is this feasible?

Hi Lucian,

Can’t I just use one image and show it on all of the blocks?

Default compression for images is managed by wordpress unless you’re using a plugin of some kind; not the theme; the default “quality factor” is 90 but can be increased to 95 or 100 (no compression) by adding line in functions.php to set that. But not recommended. We typically change our compression level to 60, for faster page speed.

Be aware that jpeg images with a lot of “reds” don’t compress well ever, sadly to do how lossy jpeg/mpeg compression works.

Also, if you upload an image with very low quality the quality only gets worse.

For charts such as you’re using on your sample page, it’s best to use PNG files vs jpeg and embed those directly into the page so they are not resized/resampled to new sizes except for thumbnails. Try saving it as PNG file and place in the post, and you’ll see a HUGE improvement.

Nothing with reds/orange/dark pink compress well with jpeg — it’s nothing to do with the theme 🙂

hi,
try adding big images so that wordpress can cut proper sizes out of that big image.

once the image is cut into different sizes different styles uses different sizes.

Thanks for you message.

Hi Christopher.

We have tried that and nothing. The images were previously generated on the 700×357 size.

Our doubt is to know where the block 1 take its picture from, why it takes one size in one version and another size in the other version?. If the thumbnails sizes on functions.php are intact and the sizes on the media section of wordpress too, were can it be?

thanks

Hi!
Basically you will likely want to run the regenerate thumbnails plugin to redo the images to fit the images used by this theme.

You can see all the sizes used by various modules in the documentation, as so:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-and-blocks/

The theme will pull the size that matches the size used in the module, presuming it exists.

Hey!
check the docs, here… under thumb sizes.

basically look at which modules you’re using, and the sizes you’re actually using on your homepage, sidebar, footer, etc.; remove those sizes you’re *not* using:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-and-blocks/

You can also do the trick from my past posts of making sure that the small/medium/large defaults from the WordPress settings panel (not theme panel), match the three sizes you most use; this way you’re not doing theme sizes *and* WP default sizes!
