Dear Tagdiv,
Loving Newspaper!
I just noticed something: the featured image of a post (original size 660×385) is reduced to 324×189 pixels when shown in the sidebar of another page. See http://www.greenem.nl/wassymbolen-en-strijksymbolen/
It pertains to the featured image sourced from: http://www.greenem.nl/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/zonnepanelen-kopen-geld-660×385.png
That’s fine, as the original image is too big to fit in the sidebar. Except for one thing: the original image (518KB) is first loaded in its original size and forced by the browser to show only the reduced pixelsize. Which is still 518KB!
I read through the documentation and this board, but could not find this exact question.
Am I missing something? I thought the whole idea to upload the largest possible image size was to have WordPress reduce the bytesize as it resizes it to the appropriate pixelsizes like thumbnails.
Or should I periodically run the ‘force regenerate thumbnails’ plugin?
Kind regards,
Gijs
Hello,
Not all blocks use the full size image on the 1 column layout. For some blocks this decision was made to use css and rescale the image instead of using a thumbnail. These blocks are block 11, 15, 18 and 21 (on the one column version). We are aware of this and it is on our list of updates. Until we can change this behavior in a future update, you could alternatively use another block to display your content or you can edit the theme files and change the module used for block 18 – http://screencast.com/t/nDVQgA4Yp
Thank you for your understanding.
