Thumbnails and Images – URL PRoblem – Comments Problem

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 13

Hey, got 3 problems so far.

1 – I made a post and it showed the full image and no text, author, categorys, tags, nothing. I deleted the post to trash then delete permamently, but anytime I try to re-use that post name URL it shows the same messed up post. I made a new post with different title with same picture text etc and it worked, but I need the URL that I am locked out of from the first time.

2 – I tried the cropped featured image and it wasn’t going to work for me, most of my photos will be high res since its a sports site and it will almost always cut off important parts of the picture. With it turned off the featured image in posts look great, but the images on the homepage cut off pretty badly. I was looking at your alls demo theme – http://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/full_screen_preview/5489609 – And you can see the photo for the ipad mini doesnt change between its featured image, its bigger image on sidebar and even its very small 100px image. Is there a way for me to do this? The pictures on your demo make it look like all pictures will be shrunk to the correct PX and not be cut off.

3 – Comment options on posts are not showing up. I have tried the theme panel buttons but no dice.

bump doesn’t do anything … except hurt your skull from banging against the wall.

URLs are not managed by the theme; they are managed by WordPress and the “permalink” settings you setup in the WP options panel (not theme panel). If you have a corrupted dbase due to a bad post name, you may need to use a dbase fix tool, or edit that element from phpmyadmin in your web hosting account.

If the post URL “slug” you’re using for that single post doesn’t work, it implies there is something like a bad extended ascii character that isn’t being converted … sharing that post title might be helpful, or the “slug” that you’re using for that post page. Maybe try changing the “slug” for the post you’re creating?

Hi,

Thanks Christopher!

@mikefb12
Sorry for the delay unfortunately we do not work on weekends.

1. For your first issue you could try resetting your permalinks and you can do that just by re saving your permalink structure.

2. When you add an image WordPress automatically creates a thumb for each module the theme uses so, besides WordPress’s, we have added new image sizes in functions file.
So that the cropping function doesn’t affect much of your added images you need to upload an image appropriate in aspect ration to the thumb you plan to use it for.
You can read more about the aspect ration in the first link and about WordPress’s cropping in the second:

3. As Christopher wrote you can change the comments settings from WordPress Dashboard Settings > Discussion.

Hope this helps!

Thanks

So I did this http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/

So from my understanding now that I made the fix in the article above, any picture I upload from now on will be scaled to the appropriate thumbnail size and not cropped at all correct? I tried regenerating thumbnails but they did not work, everything is still cut off.

As far as the https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/color-questions/#post-26928
problem I had there can I send you a private message with URL?

Hi,

The link for WordPress Hard Crop VS Soft Crop Difference & Comparison Example that I have provided above is for you to understand how WordPress cropping function works. If you refer that you have changed this settings: http://screencast.com/t/z3V6JBeBHW unfortunately that will not affect your thumbs except the ones used by the search module as this is the thumbs used to build that module.
If you want to change the cropping of the thumbs fro the other modules you have to edit the functions.php file and change the cropping mode of the function that adds that image.
You can read more about this here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size
Here are the extra thumbs added from functions.php file: http://screencast.com/t/az6wPx9qW0jp
You can send your site’s URL at contact@tagdiv.com.

Thanks
