Is there a simple way to edit the PHP in order to prioritize the page/blog names over the page content?
Okay, I was able to fix the thumbnails. The problem was that I did not have the Graphics Draw library on my server. I installed it, regenerated thumbnails, and they now look fine. I also found that featured images crop correctly for grid on some but not all of the custom preview image sizes in blog settings – I’m using portfolio-small and that works for me.
BUT the featured image in the blog post itself is still not working as you can see here: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s260/sh/c91b9098-ad45-42bd-9c1f-2a0f49e01922/38d885c2636b3005374370f92bb22c3e
On the Enfold theme, this 1030×284 image is supposed to crop to 1030×360 and scale to a left aligned preview image, with the ability to expand it to its full size. My featured image does not crop to 1030×360 and instead only scales with a right alignment.
You can also see it right aligning here: http://vmwpprod.mantis-tgi.com/?p=2334
It also does this when I set the blog post format to “Gallery”. If I don’t set the blog post format to “Gallery,” the created gallery scales correctly to its settings in the blog post itself. If I do set it to Gallery, it right aligns and squishes it smaller than its settings in the preview.
That solution could work to fix thumbnails, but it does not fix the fact that ALL featured images squish. Making all blog images squares also defeats the entire purpose. I don’t want my featured image to always be a square. I want large, dynamic images to go above my blog posts as featured in the Enfold theme. That’s why I bought it.
If that is not clear enough, look at what happens when I make a gallery. I used the exact same large images from your website, regenerated thumbnails, and used this shortcode:
[av_gallery ids='3466,3465,3464,3463' style='big_thumb' preview_size='gallery' thumb_size='portfolio' columns='4' imagelink='lightbox']
This is what it looks like: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s260/sh/a1fa77d7-220a-42fd-9ba0-5f12d9af90d2/621dad2535c2b9ca24282ecb7f95eac8
Clearly I have an issue that goes beyond simply cropping all my images to squares.
I haven’t heard a response on this issue in 4 days. What other information can I give you to help solve this problem?
We moved some of the website online for testing. Here is a link to the blog: http://vmwpprod.mantis-tgi.com/?page_id=2650
What about the rest of the images? None of them crop, the image is just squished to fit in the space.
My website is on a dev machine, so I don’t have a public link to give you at the moment.
I already installed that plugin and nothing looks different when I regenerate.
When I do the featured image, it doesn’t look like it does on the Enfold theme because it never crops.
I used the same exact family photo as Enfold, and here was the result:
Featured image in a blog post:
Grid preview:
News Thumbnail:
These are my media settings:
I’m on WP 3.5.2 and Enfold 1.8.4
Also, how do you put an image on top of a standard blog post like this: http://kriesi.at/themes/enfold/2012/01/14/this-is-a-nice-post/
When I try to add media content, the image only shows inside the blog post rather than on top.
