Hello
Firstly – overall I’m very impressed with the Theme, it has allowed a fast development time. Thank you.
I do have two questions though:
1. I have featured images in or around 800×400 which seem to work well generally speaking. But the image is cropped (or not scaled enough) and looks very bad when they are in the mega menu. See http://www.biker47.com and hover over a menu item.
2. On thew Slider (on home page) the Theme puts the Category at the top left – there is always a extra transparent black box extending out – again visually poor.
Any suggestions on both items?

Many thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately that is the cropping function, to avoid this you would have to add an image more nearest with aspect ration of the thumbs in which you want it to look well. You can read more about aspect ratio here: http://digital-photography-school.com/aspect-ratio-what-it-is-and-why-it-matters/
You can also read more about function which creates the thumbs and WordPress cropping here:

2. http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/

For the other issue please you can use this custom css to set the date to visible: http://screencast.com/t/3FGg2wX5R

Add this css in theme panel > custom css filed:

.slide-meta-author time{
visibility: visible;
}

Hope this helps!

Thanks

OK Lucian, I’ll read the aspect ratio stuff – thanks.
Re the custom CSS – I’ve tried it and whilst I see that it adds the date and makes it visible – the two boxes don’t line up…
No matter, what I actually want is to remove that date box completely! Any ideas??
thanks

Hi,


@Steven Seems that you have managed to do it as I have checked your site and found that you don’t have the meta tag on slider anymore: http://screencast.com/t/FZUZTv1hl1

@acluk Use this css to completely remove that meta box: http://screencast.com/t/Eq2qxqX0H

.slide-meta{
display: none;
}

Thanks
