Question 1:
With the version 4 the recommended upload size for the featured images was 1074x483px. The new documentation however mentions nothing about any ideal size for the featured images (more than, as big as possible).
What is the recomended image dimensions for the featured images? As of right now I´m still going with 1074×483. I´m using the Style 3 Post template.
Question 2:
When using the Style 3 for my posts, when viewed in mobile-view or withing a small browser window, the featured picture shrink as it is supposed to but also gets a rather ugly looking gray bar. Why does this happen?
I still haven´t updated from 6.1 beacuse of the issues that was with the article-namning and the brought up stability issues of 6.2. Perhaps this is fixed in the next update of the theme?
See this picture for reference:
Hi,
1. There isn’t an ideal image size(aspect ratio) so it can look good on all thumbs, also depends which blocks/modules that you use and you have to do some tests and see what aspect ratio to use as. On post style 3 the image is cropped at 1068x0 as you can see here – http://screencast.com/t/RRMdhh6Fa so there is a specified width but it takes the image’s default height. You could read more about the featured image size here (it’s from Newsmag documentation but the principles are the same) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/image-size/
2. You have this issue with the featured image because of this css min-height(this css is added in case that is not used a featured image on this template, so the post title will not disappear). You can fix this using this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css – http://screencast.com/t/semPWvQDCw
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.td-post-template-3 .td-post-header-holder {
min-height: inherit !important;
}
}
Thanks!
