Thumbnail sizes, in-line ads in a block/grid

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello, I have a few questions about the theme.

Dev site link: http://wv.cloudaccess.host

1. I noticed some of the thumbnails are producing different sizes. The first blog post featured image has a taller height and the eighth one down is also producing the same result. Do you suggest a recommended height/width for all featured images to prevent this from taking place going forward?

2. Is it possible to place in-line advertising code within a block/grid? We were hoping to drop in ad code 5 headlines down and it doesn’t appear the Visual Composer allows you to do that. We didn’t notice an area in the Theme Panel that had this custom coded either.

Thanks!

Hi

1. There is no ideal size for featured image. Basically image’s size should be at least by thumb’s size where will be used. You will have to asses the containers and thumbs you plan on using on your site and the post templates as well. If you use post templates that use the full size images like: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-2015-awards-all-of-the-best-and-worst-moments-from-the-show/ then a full hd image is required. If not, you need to inspect every element especially on the homepage. If you use big grids, your images must be at least the size of the big grid container otherwise they will not fit inside and not display properly. Here is a list of all thumbs used in our theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/

2. Unfortunately you can place ads inside a block but using Visual Composer they can be added between blocks using ad-box block. Here is an example: http://screencast.com/t/UsEiHaLk http://screencast.com/t/svjvQcYTee96

I hope this helps.
Thanks!
