Hi – We are using version 4 of the theme. I thought the link above with the demo was provided prior to Version 6 release so hoping it is similar. Site is currently at http://www.VenturaClassifieds.com
We’ll review the documentation for Revolution Slider, but were just wondering, based upon your experience with it and your decision to include it in the Newspaper package, is it capable of styling in a similar way to Big Slide and also pull in Featured posts with titles?
Will try regenerate thumbnails after your review and comment. Not clear why we would have to regenerate thumbnails when only original images were uploaded to existing/first-time install of version 4, but would be happy to try. If it works, would we need to regenerate each time we add content to the slide?
Thanks!
Hi,
Please check this without CDN(disable if you use it), also disable all your plugins except of Visual Composer and clear cache. Then regenerate your thumbnails again and see if you still have this issue.
If this doesn’t fix your issue, please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-access so we can take a closer look. Also paste a link to this topic so we can know who you are and what your issue is.
Thanks!
Hi,
If you use smaller featured image than the size of the thumb, please note that WordPress doesn’t enlarge images and you will need to use plugin like Thumbnail Upscale to enlarge thumbnails: https://wordpress.org/plugins/thumbnail-upscale/ For upscale use a combination of plugins Thumbnail Upscale + Force Regenerate.
Unfortunately there is not option to enable/disable meta info for specific element, the theme has a general option for this in Theme Panel > Post Settings(it will apply on posts,blocks, modules) – http://screencast.com/t/JpTxbT0aIg
Thanks!
I did a Regenerate thumbnails but it doesn’t work on the big grid as you can see :
Hi
Can you provide a link so we can take a look? As I’m not sure how IOS Slider looks on your side.
Do you use version 4 of the theme? If you do please note that on our demo is used latest version of the theme 6.3.2. Also in version 4 IOS Slider is available and it can be used on 1,2 or 3 columns. The Big Slide can be used only on full row. Regarding Revolution Slider here you can find plugin’s documentation – http://revolution.themepunch.com/documentation/
Please try to regenerate thumbnails and see if it fix your second issue – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/

Hi,
There is a specific size for featured image on post styles – http://screencast.com/t/nqYCzTLHHT If you want to add a different image size you will have to edit td_config.php file, where you can find all thumb size used on featured images or modules – http://screencast.com/t/Vzs6dM50Os So if you add there another thumb you have to change also in post style that you use – http://screencast.com/t/DpQ6egqGp Also you have to regenerate thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
Please note that there’s no ideal image size, the modules have thumbs with different aspect ratios and a part of the image may get lost on the cropping process. You could read more about the featured image size here (it’s from Newsmag documentation but the principles are the same) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/image-size/
Thanks!
Hi,
Please try to regenerate your thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
Thanks!
a) regenerate your thumbnails for your existing content, per the theme docs
b) see the speed up info in the documentation, such as caching and optimizing your htaccess file settings — the docs specify how they get that speed
c) see my ‘sticky’ post on optimization at top of the forum for tips on optimizing your site using various methods
Hi,
Your images are uncompressed, because of this it takes a lot for the page to load. Try to regenerate all thumbs and compress the logos(use Photoshop or similar to reduce the image size) – http://screencast.com/t/1P6FvnKj4m
For the featured images follow this guide (chapter 3) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Thank you!
Hi,
Like Emil suggested using these plugins should enlarge the thumbnails to fit right. I have also checked your site and looks fine – http://screencast.com/t/j68HdbozLRs2
If you don’t refer only to smaller featured image, please note that it is no an ideal image size, the modules have thumbs with different aspect ratios and a part of the image may get lost on the cropping process. You could read more about the featured image size here (it’s from Newsmag documentation but the principles are the same) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/image-size/
You can change/add another thumb size from td_config.php file and also the cropping mode – http://screencast.com/t/sQJjSjupVNE If you make any changes you will have to regenerate thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
You can read more about this – https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_image_size/ – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
Thanks!
Hi,
Please check documentation for pagespeed optimization(enable gzip, set leverage browser caching) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
For image compression we recommend a plugin like Smush it: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smushit/ or add the following code in functions.php:
add_filter( 'jpeg_quality', create_function('', 'return 50;' ) );
This will compress all images to 50%, you can change that value, after you add the code you have to regenerate all thumbs – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
Thanks!
Hello
I react on this point I tried:
c) change default WP thumb compression from 90 to 50 (some like 60)
Great for the pagespeed score but OMG all images are now very damaged.
Check for example the first image (and click on it):
http://www.virtualmagie.org/articles/comptes-rendus/conferences-rencontres/duraty/
(Other are links from our old site).
Note the one put on the site is 2362*3539 pixels.
So I think I will do some compress test on fiew images, choose a higher compression (70% ?) and regenerate all images.
Speed is important but quality is important too more now with Retina screens.
If you have experience on that please let me know.
Regards
TIP: To optimize the image thumbnail sizes you need and skip generation of sizes you won’t be using, do this
a) audit the modules you are actually using, make a list, and the sizes used by those modules (theme docs shows the modules and the sizes)
b) set those as ‘on’ in the theme panel; turn others off [using the toggle switches]
c) in the WP admin/ media, set the three default sizes to the ones you use most often which are smaller than what you normally upload (small/medium/large)
d) in some theme versions, no “right size” thumb was being added for the “related posts” area below posts, and I posted somewhere here how to add that “size” to the main theme functions file inside of the /theme/includes/ folder.
e) use the “regenerate thumbnails” plugin to regen thumbs, and from now on with new posts you should have fewer thumbs made, based on the sizes you actually use on layouts.
Useful to be consistent with category, tag, author, search, archive templates to use same layout/size for better optimization and caching.
Hope that helps 🙂

Check my sticky post top of the forum, too. Be sure to turn off all your caching stuff before using the regenerate thumbnails plugin. Also be sure the thumbs are turned on for the sizes you are using in the theme panel.
Hey Chris!
Thanks so much for your reply. I have tried to regenerate some thumbnails, but only with moderate success. I’ve tried four different plugins, and only one works but only works partially.
Out of the 82 images I have on my website, only 59 are able to have thumbnails regenerated after several attempts with various plugins.
Even with these 59 of 82 thumbnails regenerated, page speed is showing up a bit better at 46/100 for mobile and 53/100 for desktop. A bit better than the original scores, but still very very low. I’ve also done four out of five suggestions on the page speed guide at https://forum.tagdiv.com/pagespeed-guide/
Thanks for any suggestions you or anyone else might have. Greatly appreciated!

I am still chasing this problem and appear no closer to a solution. I have disabled caching, regenerated thumbnails again, switched off as many plugins as I can without disabling key features, and still I get empty or grey boxes instead of images. Very frustrating.
Hi
Please try to regenerate your thumbs: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/ and let us know if you still have this issue, also make sure you empty all caches.
Thanks!
I’ve had the same issue – can’t work out how to fix it so far. Not just on homepage, but all pages. I have regenerated thumbnails, but that hasn’t helped.
Hi,
On video posts the theme automatically retrieves the video thumb and sets it as a featured image. On some cases the thumb is small. WordPress doesn’t have an upscale image function, you have to use a combination of plugins – https://wordpress.org/plugins/thumbnail-upscale/ – regenerate the existing thumbs using – https://wordpress.org/plugins/force-regenerate-thumbnails/
Thank you!
Hi,
We are in the middle of launching this site – it’s in maintenance mode so here’s a screenshot: http://weedstream.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/screen-shot-2015-07-30-at-8-57-59-pm.png)
You can see the same issue in the dev site: http://weedstream.net/dev/
I have done a force regenerate and it helped more of the thumbs show up, but not fit the slide area better.
Thanks for your help!
Hi carmen,
You have to regenerate thumbnails, the the theme will create all thumbs needed which will fit to the thumbnails container. Please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/existing-content/
If this is still not working make sure to have the GD library installed and that you have writing permissions on /wp-content/uploads
@gmtrevor I tested this and found no issues, make sure you try the steps I’ve suggested and let me know if it’s still not working.
Thanks
Hi,
Yes @gmtrevor you need to regenerate your thumbnails. You can use this plugin AJAX Thumbnail Rebuild to fix them.
Do you mean the default sizes from WP http://screencast.com/t/pzkyyS4S9L9M , the theme doesn’t use them.
Thanks!
Hi @GadgetViper
If you want you can update to latest version 6.3.1. Also you need to regenerate your thumbnails, now your images are full on your homepage and need to be cropped. Use AJAX Thumbnail Rebuild plugin to solve this.
@gmtrevor you need to regenerate you thumbnail to. Use AJAX Thumbnail Rebuild plugin to solve this.
Have a nice day all! 🙂
Did you follow the steps in https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ when updating from v4 to v6?
We used the plugin “Regenerate Thumbnails” after we upgraded to v6 to make images all correct again. Maybe try that plugin instead.
