Hi there guys, I searched the forum and couldn’t find an answer.
We just updated from 4.5 to 6.7.
Our homepage had beautiful clear images, and now they are extremely dark, due to that gradient filter.
Is there a setting for this? I’d like the pictures to be dark just on the lower part, so that the title (in white) can be read better, but there’s no need to darken the entire image (and with that intensity).
Thanks!
Hello,
There is no option in the theme to remove the gradient, but it can be done with a css trick.
It can be removed with this custom css:
.td_block_big_grid_2.td-grid-style-1.td-hover-1 .td-module-thumb a:last-child:before{
display:none!important;
}

Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for the quick reply. Amazing support. One of the reasons we choose you guys.
Well, I had already re-generated all thumbnails, and I just re-did that.
We still have those weird gray spaces in our thumbs. Check our homepage:

Also, one question: when somebody makes a new blog post, they upload huge images (some times 3000px wide). Does the theme have any code to reduce the image size? In the cropping process, is this done?
I’m saying this because I don’t need huge 3000px images, they could be cropped and limited by the theme to the largest width to occupy 100% width.
Or we have to do that manually?
Hi,
You have to make an assessment o the size of every image and container you use on your site. The theme does crop images and create thumbnails, but it cannot enlarge images. For example, in your big grid on the homepage, the big container has dimensions of: http://screencast.com/t/6vmVnKein5 but your image is not big enough to fill it: http://screencast.com/t/UA2GuiIpTmL
Please make sure you have all thumbnails that you use active in the theme panel -> block settings -> thumbnails section
Regarding the cropping system please read these topics:

Hope this helps.

Hi there Bogdan.
My issue was this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/try-this-if-images-arent-being-cropped-even-if-you-install-regenerate-thumbnail/
Hi,
The GD library is a requirement for wordpress and it can create issues with images if it’s not installed on the server. Glad you solved it!
Thank you!
