I’m using ‘Easy Digital Downloads’ which has a download page. What I find are the image hight is too short which I believe is the 300 x 160 ratio How do I set a default e.g. 300 x 194 as this downloads page does not use blocks?

As you can see the images are cropped from the bottom.

Hello,
Different modules for the category provide different results in terms of thumbnails. Here is a list of thumbs used in our theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
You can change the category module from the theme panel to get closer to your desired aspect ratio.
Thank you!
Hi Bogdan
I understand this but I have a downloads category which is from Easy Digital Downloads which doesn’t show/list in the Newspaper Categories section. Please look at the link I sent of a better idea

Sorry, I forgot to add a reply from Easy Digital Downloads
Unless your theme was built specifically for use with EDD, there’s a chance it has an archive.php file and no archive-download.php. That means your theme will use the generic archive.php template to display products when you visit yourdomain.com/downloads in your browser.
While this generic display may be okay for author or date archives, it isn’t always a good fit for download archives. Instead, you would need to create an archive specifically for Downloads.
When I check the image thumbnails on this download page it appears to be as if from M2
The archive is the default category as the plugin author mentions. Our theme is not tested with the plugin so you will have to create custom implementation for it. the module is m1 actually.
Our theme does not have any archive-downloads.php so it will have to be created custom http://screencast.com/t/vqSZfV0DeaL
Unfortunately plugin implementation is not part of the theme support and we cannot offer any customization services at the moment.
Thanks.
Hi Bogdan
Thanks for your support. Unfortunately EDD works fine with other templates/themes but not Newspaper. I respect that you do not provide customization but I’m hoping for a fix as other themes provide.
I have bought your theme numerous times and really don’t want to switch to another.
Can I simply go to archive.php and make a change to M1? All my images are being cropped but if I use a shortcode and add a page http://www.top10px.com/downloads the images are perfect. Only when I follow a link to a category do they all get cropped.

Hi,
They do get cropped as well on the link you mention. The archive in the link above uses module 3. If you like how this module shows the thumbs, you can simply change the module in the category template.
Your issue was with the animals category. If your category shows up in the per category settings, you can simply change the module used for it. Change it to module 3 if you like the thumb size. Our theme uses different thumb sizes as I have shown in a previous reply. If it’s a custom taxonomy and not a standard category then you can change the module in the code simply by changing the number here: http://screencast.com/t/e41JHMcOmnOm
Now you should have module 3 on your custom taxonomy page.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
Hi Bogdan
FANTASTIC – It works perfectly now. The earlier screenshot you gave had archive.php which didn’t work.The taxonomy.php did and the site looks great without any cropped images. Good to know I can stay with Newspaper as it’s the best theme for WordPress.

Glad it worked out!
Have a nice day!
