    Hi, I’m using the “Blog Posts” Avia module on our home page, set up for a Grid Layout with 3 columns. How do I make it so that the container for the image is the same aspect ratio as the featured image on the dedicated post page? For example, I’ve sized my “featured images” to 1030×370, so I’d want the featured image on the home page to be 300×108 (same aspect ratio). Where do I modify this?

    How do I change the length of the excerpt used on our blog posts shown on the home page? Right now the text cuts mid-word. I want it to use the <!–more–> tag in the WordPress editor.

    Finally, I want to remove the lightbox effect for the featured image on the blog post page.

    Hi mgerenser!

    Can you please give us a link to the website? You can modify the thumbnail size on functions.php, find this code:

    $avia_config['imgSize']['portfolio'] = array('width'=>495, 'height'=>400 ); // images for portfolio entries (2,3 column)

    Change the width and height then use this plugin to regenerate the thumbnails: http://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
    Still, the size of the images will depend on the width of the container. Do you have a sidebar on the homepage?

    2.) You can use the Excerpt box option. Edit a post then look for Screen Options, enable the Excerpt box.

    3.) Is this a separate page or the blog that you have on the homepage? Please give us a link to the website.

    Regards,
    Ismael

    I’m not going to worry about the image sizes on the home page at this point. However, I still have a couple questions. You probably need to look at our website to see what I’m talking about. The URL is redcom.wpengine.com

    1. Go directly to a post, such as http://redcom.wpengine.com/sponsorship-believeinkids/ (hosted on WPengine)
    How do I remove the mouseover circle AND the link from the featured image? I don’t want it to link to anything.

    2. On the news/blog page http://redcom.wpengine.com/media/news/
    How do I make the featured image here appear wider? I would prefer it to be 700×370

    Oh, one more question. I want to remove the post author’s name from the blog post subtitle.
