Hi,
I am using block 24 in my website. I don’t want my images to be corrupted. I want the images to be scaled to 280×150.
I have read https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size – and here – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
And also read td_api_thumb
td_api_thumb::update(‘td_100x75’, array( ‘name’ => ‘td_100x75’, ‘width’ => 100, ‘height’ => 75, ‘crop’ => array(‘center’, ‘top’), ‘post_format_icon_size’ => ‘small’, ‘used_on’ => array( ‘Module 6, 7’, ‘Block 1, 2, 7, 8’ ) ) );
Would you please tell me what is the code that I should use for scaling images to 280X150 in block 24
Hello soheyla,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you are not using the thumbs for your featured images, right? Please check your Theme panel and make sure that you Thumbs are enabled from there, according to your modules/blocks used by you, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/Xg3dsfLct
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Since I wrote you, Last night I was experimenting with different look on using different blocks on my website and I changed the Block 24 to Block 11 and since I didn’t know you are going to check the web site I didn’t change it back to Block 24.
Now I put the Block 24 back to the website. if you check it now, you will see The images are chopped off from both side and it doesn’t look good. As you recommended I enabled Thumbs for Featured images but Feature images look the same.I left the block 11 below the block 24 and as you see images in block 11 are scaled down but not chopped off. Can I get the same behavior for my images in block 24 then I will be happy!. I like the size of images in block 24 but not chopping off or distorting the images. Please tell me how I can get to this goal.
2) I don’t want Authors names appear next to headlines and I disabled the name of Authors in Theme Panel but the names of Authors appears in my Home page and my Menu items when I go to those pages. How can I disable it?

Hello soheyla,
Also, please notice that each block uses a specific thumb which crops the each featured image from your posts.
Please take a look over the below explanation and try to understand a bit how it works the thumbs in the theme. Please check here ->>
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 utilized by the theme. When a post it’s displayed on the page in a block, the featured image shown 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 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 customer uses and they were satisfied to their functionality.
A primary example you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/rhIdwe22d2
Thanks for your understanding!
1)What is difference between Module and Block? In the Home page I use Block 24.
as shown in this link https://www.screencast.com/t/69CuVlkhfb. Is it Module or block?
2) What size image should I use for my block?(for above shown block)https://www.screencast.com/t/69CuVlkhfb
3) So Should I Thumbnail Upscale and Force Regenerate them to above size?
I Have installed all plugins that you recommended but the featured images are cut off from both sides. Please help me to resolve the issue.
And also please answer the below questions

Hello soheyla,
1)More modules will create a block. For more references about this elements, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-blocks-modules/
2)If you will check this guide -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/ there you will find which are the thumbs used for each module.
3)You will use The Thumbnails Upscale if you want to enlarge a photo in case of you have an image too small than the thumb used for your modules/blocks and you want that your image to fit all the thumb and the Force Regenerate plugin will be used if you will encounter this issue, like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
