Hi,

What is the optimal image size for me to upload to wordpress that would look great for all images around the site?

I also would like to set the Media Settings in WordPress to the proper ratios. For Thumbnail, Medium Size and Large Size. What should this be?

Thanks

For the small/medium/large — set them to the module sizes you plan to use the most.

For the featured image in post, we’ve chosen to do everything 640xXX with 640×400 being typical, but for movie reviews, for instance with widescreen stuff those are 640×280.

Thanks for the quick response.

One more question. I like to get the feature image for default style post settings to go edge to edge like style 3. How do I do this?

WordPress cannot enlarge thumbs; perhaps try adding the “thumbnail upscale” plugin which helps with WP for cropping to fit.

If that isn’t the question, wait for tagdiv support. 🙂

No sorry that was not the question. But I appreciate the response. I would just like the default style post title – where the title doesn’t go into the sidebar side – with the large 681 image of the post style #3 – where the image size is 681 wide.

Hi,

You can copy featured image code from post template 3 and paste it above the content div: http://screencast.com/t/syYCwVBDhttp://screencast.com/t/m10ysJeygcSt and then regenerate thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/

Hi,
This worked!

How do I match an image I insert into a post to be the same width as the feature. Like this on this template http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/details-thats-the-only-thing-that-matters/

Thanks

Hi,

You can edit the content image and set it to full width – http://screencast.com/t/lOuZG4HgY
