Blog Featured Image crop and social share icons formatting

Hey erictuvel,

Thank you for the inquiry.

The maximum height of thumbnail on blog overview pages without a sidebar is only 423px. This thumbnail is called “entry_without_sidebar”. The maximum size of this thumbnail is set to 1210x423px by default, but it can be adjusted in the Settings > Media panel. You have to install the Simple Image Sizes plugin first. The plugin has not been tested on the latest version of WordPress but it works just fine. Make sure to regenerate the thumbnails after adjusting the thumbnail size.

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi,

For some reason, some of the Featured images appear taller on the Blog page and some appear the standard dimensions you mentioned

Yes, we did check the page. The maximum height of the images in the blog page is 423px. Even the image of the book is 423px in height.

Regarding the social icons, please try to add the following css code, then disable the Enfold > Performance > File Compression settings.

.av-share-box ul li a {
    padding: 15px 30px;
}

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi,

I don’t think your measurements are correct. The Book image I just measured is over 500px tall

We were referring to the featured images in the blog overview page. Please check screenshot 1 in the private field and look at the name of the thumbnail. FYI, WordPress automatically creates thumbnails of the original image and crops them based on the registered size of the thumbnails. The thumbnail that is used in the blog page is called “entry_without_sidebar“, which has a maximum size of 1210x423px. If you want to check how the size of the thumbnails are defined, edit the wp-content > themes > enfold > functions.php file and look for this code around line 223.

$avia_config['imgSize']['entry_with_sidebar'] 	= array('width'=>845, 'height'=>321);		            	// big images for blog and page entries
$avia_config['imgSize']['entry_without_sidebar']= array('width'=>1210, 'height'=>423 );						// images for fullsize pages and fullsize slider

Did you follow our suggestions above about thumbnail size adjustment using the Simple Image Sizes plugin ? You should also upload images with the same size and aspect ratio for every posts to get a much more consistent result.

I just measured it and it’s over 600px.

You are looking at the “rendered size”, which is different compare to the “intrinsic size” or the actual size of the image. The actual size of the image in that post is only 700x394px, but since the layout requires the image to be stretched full width, you are seeing a much larger “rendered size”. (see screenshot 2)
