Hi,
For some reason all images I add to blog post, for example, one that is 900 across and 600 high get cropped into a strip of the original image which is only 200px high. I have tried changing the image size to full or even specifying the dimensions manually but they always come out the specified width but 200px high. I want to display some screen shots but all I can display are strips of screen shots. Also all images seem to be ‘trimmed’ rather than displaying as their normal size.
Any help very much appreciated.
This is an example. The image is 1280×960 and is set to Full (though I have tried everything else) yet it is always 200px high.
Many thanks in advance.
Hello,
As I see it, you use visual composer on posts. The image issue happens because you use visual composer on posts and now have updated the theme and have both plugins active. Please only use one page builder and not both at the same time. The tagdiv composer plugin activates automatically in newspaper 8 so please disable it if you do not want to use it.
Thank you!
Thanks for the reply.
I have watched a lot of the basic video tutorials on YouTube and they seem to be geared towards creating pages from posts and not for creating posts from scratch. Perhaps you could direct me to some really basic tutorials (really basic!) where I can see how to use the tagDiv composer on posts? It seems to be automatically enabled for pages which is fine as I have already used it on the homepage but most of the content are posts.
I am not sure why Visual Composer came with the Newspaper theme if I am not supposed to use it or if it doesn’t work? Just to be clear, I want to create the posts. Text, image, text, image etc. If that is something that tagDiv composer does then I am very happy to learn it.
Many thanks again.
Hello,
The tagdiv composer as well as visual composer in our theme is meant to be used exclusively and only on pages not posts. The tagdiv composer does not have any at all setting that can allow it to work on posts. Posts are created using the tiny mce editor, not a page builder which is destined for pages.
You can create posts very very easy and stylish without any page builder. Using a page builder on posts is not recommended. Using 2 page builders at the same time is not recommended.
Please use this guide to create your posts without any page builder :
