how can i make the featured images appear full width?
i installed the thumbnail upscale and regenerated the thumbnails but there were no changes.
Hello hoops,
Our theme uses a lot of predefined thumbnails in blocks and modules. If you check the Theme panel->Block settings area you can see the list with all dimensions of the thumbs wich is used in the theme and which elements -> blocks/modules uses -> http://screencast.com/t/tQuimSer9 If you want to exclude the cropping system wich you have to use the right dimension for your images.
Our theme uses the system of cropping from center to top. The theme uses thumbs to reduce the page size and speed up page loading time. From each image uploaded are generated thumbs for each thumb size used by the theme. Basically, when a post it’s displayed on the page in a block, the featured image displayed is not the one which you uploaded in the media file, it’s a thumb cropped from the original image at the precise dimension. To change the picture orientation most likely you will need a different cropping system. We use a WordPress function – add_image_size() – you can read about it here – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size – and here – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
Our theme crop (cut) thumbnails in some cases to avoid creating a lot of thumbnails in order to reduce to load more spaces on the server.
If you don’t have the possibility to upload large images you could use a combination of plugins to upscale the thumbs – Thumbnail Upscale and Force Regenerate. For more information about these kinds of plugins, please consult their documentation here -> https://wordpress.org/plugins/thumbnail-upscale/ -> https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/ Also, please ensure that the functionalities of these plugins are not affected by the other untested plugins that could create interference through the theme. Please notice that these types of plugins are not tested with our theme and we cannot provide support for the theme. We recommend them because a lot of our customers uses and we are satisfied about their functionality.
If you want to implement another cropping system for your theme and you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to do this for you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry! Usually, we recommend developers from studio.envato.com.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
wow! its that complicated for a simple function? i use sahifa in one of my sites and featured images are automatically adjusted to fit the space. even my other themes require a simple code edit to do that.
and you are telling me to hire a developer for something as simple as that?
anyway, is it possible to center the image?
Hello hoops,
Above I have explained you the whole process on how it works. The theme fit automatically the featured image to specific thumbs but if the image does not have the right size (it is less than thumb size) the thumb will not be fit and in these cases you have to use a plugin that enlarges the image because the theme does not have this behaviour.
Please provide your website URL so I can further inspect the featured image and also, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thank you for the message!
