Wrong image sizes

Hello everybody,

does anybody know why the post images (featured images) aren’t full sized for the block ?

In the demo content all images are filling the whole div and at our sites the images are cropped.
We’ve used different sizes for testing (2304x1536px / 1021x 640px) but this doesn’t affect the output.

Demo page:
Demo

Portal page:
Portals

And here you’ll see how the images are cropped:
Cropped Images

What are the real sizes of the images which should be uploaded?

Every picture is cropped and we don’t the solution for this problem 🙁

Best regards,
Daniel

Hi,

The images will be cropped, thumbnails will be created from them
https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
This center-top cropping was considered to be the best in general for the purpose. The resulting thumbnails would be affected by the image aspect ratios as well

The same images will result in different thumbnails for different block modules. This is how the theme handles the featured images and creates the thumbs.

Thanks

Hello,

this should all be done automatically or?
But can you tell me why the cropped images aren’t filling the whole box?!

Which values should be used that every picture fits to the element?

Hi,

The created thumbnails will fill the module, by default. Each module has a predefined thumbnail size, this will ensure that the thumbnail fits properly automatically. No need to do anything else then set a featured image for the posts.
If you could provide a link to your website we will inspect it and check if there is a problem with the thumbnails. From the screenshots it seems the thumbnails fill the whole module.
In some cases when thumbnail were smaller for example, there would be empty space around them, this is solved by regenerating the thuumbnails

How can I get in contact with you? I would prefer mail.
I won’t post the public URL in here.

And then maybe you could check why the pictures are not sharp – they are a little bit blurred…

Hi,

You can send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide the website there. We may need admin login access for investigating. Include a link to this topic in the email as well.

Hi,

it worked with the Regenerating-Thumbnails-Plugin, but isn’t there a solution that all pictures are resized to a specific size?

Today a colleague wrote a new post, but the image on the frontpage wasn’t resized properly.
Do we always have to re-generate the thumbnails manually?

Best regards

Hi,

The theme should create thumbnails automatically as soon as a featured image is set for the post

No need to regenerate after each post. That would not be a solution. Please provide a link to your website and we will check if the thumbnails are not created properly.

Thanks
