Did you turn the crop function on in the admin panel?

Also note that WordPress does not enlarge images to sizes larger than what you upload and you’d need to use plugin for that function.

We took the easy route and just put the credit at bottom of the article/post.

Well, you need to regenerate the thumbnails using the “regenerate thumbnails” plugin to make the new larger images to fit the slider. It will “from now on” make new images.

And, obviously, if you’re using a caching plugin of any kind, you need to turn OFF the caching before building new images so they are seen at new sizes.

As to other issues, you had the broken layout from the outset when I looked at it earlier; but at least your image is now filling the space.

Almost looks like you have been changing the spacing between columns or blocks.

But I’ll leave that for somebody from tech support to help you with.

You can also use the thumbnail upscale plugin I often recommend on the forum. 🙂

Facebook may not be pulling the correct language if you’re using non Arabic characters like Cyrillic etc. make sure you have the correct language encoding in top of your page meta data.

Try using the Facebook developer tool to check your page OG meta tag data.

Theme panel, main screen, at bottom “import predefined styles”

Yay! I had also meant to say try to keep under 40kb, not 20kb. Doh. 🙂

Avoid backgrounds with lots of red, as that doesn’t compress well with jpeg.

Also check your Google Webmaster Tools account, as Google will also “tag” your site if it sees any malware/hacked pages.

Don’t forget you may need to change the fonts being loaded by the theme from Google in the functions.php file also, if not already done 🙂

And, double check the style.css by doing a search for “PT” in the text.

The example you’re showing is from the special “stack” or “style” option, which changes the entire theme to look more like an old school newspaper (NY Times, etc.). To get that style you would need to use the appropriate stack as used in the demo. Or, you could likely use that style class and apply it from the custom css box.

And frankly if your hosting company isn’t using a virus scanner it is likely a good idea to look at another host!

And may I also throw in a raucous “woo hoo!” as well 🙂

Probably need to contact the plugin developer since changing the names of images, may not actually change all the links and instances of the indexes with the images, especially if you’re using any kind of caching.

Presumably the plugin would rename all your core image files based on the size you had originally? Ideally you could then simply regenerate thumbnails for all the news sizes from the renamed MAIN images and they’d be built with new name.

However since you’re using a plugin to change the NAMES of the files, one might assume it also updates all your posts to reset all placed, featured images with the new name also?

Obviously you would need to line up the changes to your posts to have the NEW image names in the posts so that the proper thumbnails are being built for that module.

Not sure if that helps, but not really a theme issue, specifically.

Basically drop in the field where you want it in the template, which it looks like you have located for the module3 post layout.

Here are docs for ACF, if you didn’t already look at them
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/displaying-custom-field-values-in-your-theme/

You can try using shortcode, as per the docs such as
[acf field="{$field_name}"]

or normal php method
<?php the_field('custom_title'); ?>

Not sure if that was what you were asking, but perhaps that helped 🙂

Wordpress does not “enlarge” images; you need to use a plugin to do so. I’ve recommended one a bunch of times here on the forum that I use, which is the “Thumbnail Upscale” plugin. You would need to activate that, then run the regenerate thumbnails plugins. Basically WordPress stupidly disables the upsize function even though web server supports it with their thinking “it makes the photos fuzzy….” (sigh). So, a plugin basically hooks into the built in server function (imagemagick for instance) to simply write any sizes larger than your original uploaded image, which fit the theme, if so called by a module or the larger slider on home page.

Hi, well the links in your dropdown appear to work. I think you need to find the setting in either menus, typography, or theme colors (I forget where it is at the moment), and change the menu text from #FFFFFF to something like #333333 for dark grey.

Try in theme panel
Custom Typography > Menus > Sub-Menu Font > Text Color >>>change color at bottom

This is based on v4.22 not 4.3.

If that doesn’t work, then try locating the class in the page source, and then adding the color to the panel’s custom CSS box.

Simply edit the style.css file to replace the default fonts. That’s what I did.

Check to make sure you didn’t set the sub-menu colors to white, which would make the text white on white background. I did that once 🙂

And anecdotal, if you don’t want to “advertise” the version of Yoast, or Revolution Slider, etc., you’re using, you might look into some solutions like mod_pagespeed (if your host supports it), which allow removal of *all* comments in the page source for pseudo-minification. Some “minification” plugins do this too, but use with caution.

Good rule of thumb (almost a pun there), would be to keep the background image under 20kb if possible, and when saving in Photoshop (if using that) apply a slight blur of 0.25 or so when doing “save for web.” I’ve found an 800×500 image works pretty well. You can also go to greyscale to make the file smaller also, as there is no color data.

Also, be sure you upload the theme which is just the theme files, and not the entire “everything” zip archive which has the theme AND the documentation, as this won’t work. Always safer to upload via FTP if you can. If using the WP panel and zip archive, make sure it’s just the theme only zip (on Themeforest you have choice of two files, just the theme, or everything…. if you upload the everything zip, it will give you server error).

Hope that helped! 🙂

Thanks Radu 🙂

And of course, many of us have (ahem) requested since last November, that the author byline on post pages be “on” by default, and “comment out” to turn off, since all real newspapers have bylines for stories and the theme is called “Newspaper.”

Consider this a reminder “poke” that most of us would prefer the option to be “on” by default for a newspaper site, not an option which has to be hacked every update.

Sorry, apparently the “rewrite” / redirect options are only included in the “PRO” version of YOAST SEO, not the free version.

Alsok FYI
Yoast SEO added support for the “tag” element in addition to “section” as on my page

Probably need to google things like “wordpress change search result URLs” and similar.
