Hi,
So i posted about this not too long ago, the response was to use plugin Animated GIF Resize which is not being updated by the developer.
I think i may have found an alternative solution for this.. through this site distractify.com
Rather than loading the image thorugh img src attribute they use the image as a background instead and use CSS like – background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: cover;
Can anybody guide me on how i could do something similar..
Regards,
Glenn
Hi
You can try use a plugin like Animate Gif Resize to get the gif image work on modules and blocks https://wordpress.org/plugins/animated-gif-resize/
Thanks!
That plugin is not maintained and people have reported issues with that plugin.. it’s not really wise to install an unmaintained plugin such as Animated GIF Resize, i’m surprised tagdiv still mention it..
There has to be another work around to this
Hi, this will fix my issue.. how can i load the original image (uncropped/scaled)
So instead of: 
//scaled image
// Full image, original unscaled but still using image attributes 260×180
Please let me know TagDiv,

Glenn

do i just remove ‘crop’ => array(‘center’, ‘top’) from td_config.php ??
Okay, so i’m going to use Animated GIF Resize plugin for now.. hopefully somebody keeps it updated.
Also smart lists get the full image, is there a way to get a scaled image to a specific size? Like the image size on big grid?
Thanks for your help
Hi,
You will have to use custom css if you remove the crop function, the modules were designed to work with thumbnails so the images are cropped to that specific size. You will need custom work to achieve that and I suggest to get someone to help you with this if you don’t know how to do it as we cannot provide custom work at this time, sorry!
Here you can find all the thumbnails sizes if you want to change/add another size – http://screencast.com/t/Vq8AWFHJyP3 and the thumb is used on module – http://screencast.com/t/WdtHPR7u also on smartlist – http://screencast.com/t/clbKN9bvQ

Hi,
I’m using NewsMag 1.7 but noticed a few things in version 2 that seem interesting.
1. Added .screen-reader-text class for better usability – I found the CSS for this in styles, but what exactly are you using this for, is it on post page? Would like to know what this adds and how to add it.
2. We audited the theme and and we made major improvements in speed and memory usage, especially in use cases that have big taxonomies, like a lot of categories or tags. – Is this something i would be able to fix on NewsMag 1.7, please let me know how to implement improvements?
3. The panel now uses the modern WordPress media upload – Is this easily updated with one file and which file is it?
Thanks!
Hi,
Not sure what you mean, if you want features present in the latest theme version why don’t you update the theme.
You can read more about the .screen-reader-text class here: http://blog.rrwd.nl/2015/04/04/the-screen-reader-text-class-why-and-how/
Regarding your improvements they can also be done in the latest theme version, on top of that the Visual Composer memory issue was fixed in the VC plugin version included in the latest theme version so you can backup your current theme install, WordPress and database update the theme then implement the changes if needed.
Thanks for the message!
Thanks for your help Lucian.
In regards to your sharing buttons, how can i change twitter to popup rather than on a full page?
Thanks
Hi,
That happens when you use the social sharing buttons without the like/tweet ones. Enable the like/tweet top or bottom ones and check again: http://screencast.com/t/VK5O6jqUMUke
Thanks
Can i have it without also having the like/tweet buttons?
Hi,
You can leave them enabled and hide them using custom css then the popup will work and you will have just the sharing buttons on the page.
Use this custom css in theme panel > custom css section to hide the like/tweet buttons:
.post .td-classic-sharing {
display: none;
}
Thanks
