Hey,
I hope all is well. Can you please let me know what the default aspect ratio is for the “Big Preview Image” in the “Single Post Style” called “Single Post with Big Preview Image” ?
I ask because I have been using Enfold for close to 1 year. In the past, I had been sizing images at 710px-360px as that seemed to be the maximum size. The most recent update seems to have altered the size to 630px x 280px and now all of my images are cropped….which results in cutoff heads and cutoff words….which is undesirable.
Is there a way to get the old aspect ratio back?
I have already used “Regenerate Thumbnails”.
Hi kls1138!
Thank you for using the theme.
Do you mind if we take a look at the actual blog page? Are you using a sidebar? The size should be 845x321px by default for responsive large layout. You can find it on functions.php:
if(avia_get_option('responsive_layout') == "responsive responsive_large") { $avia_config['imgSize']['gallery'] = array('width'=>845, 'height'=>684 ); // images for portfolio entries (2,3 column) $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 }This is for the standard responsive layout:
$avia_config['imgSize']['entry_with_sidebar'] = array('width'=>710, 'height'=>270); // big images for blog and page entries $avia_config['imgSize']['entry_without_sidebar']= array('width'=>1030, 'height'=>360 ); // images for fullsize pages and fullsize sliderBest regards,
IsmaelHey,
Thanks for the information. Given this, I am hoping that I can somehow increase the height of the images. Is this simply a matter of changing the height to 360? For example
Change This:
$avia_config[‘imgSize’][‘entry_with_sidebar’] = array(‘width’=>710, ‘height’=>270);To this:
$avia_config[‘imgSize’][‘entry_with_sidebar’] = array(‘width’=>710, ‘height’=>360);The reason I ask is because the default aspect ratio is not good for social media. In particular, I have found that Google+ will display the featured image as a tiny image at Enfold’s default aspect ratio instead of a large image. It’s similar on Twitter and Pinterest. You can view a sample on my G+ profile here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+KyleSchmidt1/posts You’ll see the tiny picture for the second post down on the left.
To answer your previous question, I have always used a right sidebar. Something that may be important to know is that prior to the most recent Enfold update, I noticed that the images on my blog posts stretched farther right so that the right side of the image ran flush against the right sidebar container. I always thought this was weird, but didn’t worry about it. With the most recent update, this changed and there is now padding between the right sidebar and image, which is undoubtedly intended.
It’s also important to note that I have always increased the size of the right sidebar and decreased the size for the content container in functions.php as follows:
$avia_config[‘layout’][‘fullsize’] = array(‘content’ => ‘twelve alpha’, ‘sidebar’ => ‘hidden’, ‘meta’ => ‘two alpha’, ‘entry’ => ‘eleven’);
$avia_config[‘layout’][‘sidebar_left’] = array(‘content’ => ‘eight’, ‘sidebar’ => ‘four alpha’ ,’meta’ => ‘three alpha’, ‘entry’ => ‘eight’);
$avia_config[‘layout’][‘sidebar_right’] = array(‘content’ => ‘eight alpha’, ‘sidebar’ => ‘four alpha’, ‘meta’ => ‘three alpha’, ‘entry’ => ‘eight alpha’);Again though, this has always been the case. My blog url is blog.bluepipes.com.
In any case, if you could let me know how I can properly increase the height of the images, then that would be great!!
Thanks so much for the help!
Kyle
Hi Kyle!
Doing the change on functions.php and regenerating the thumbnails will suffice. Also, you may want to take a look at this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-image-sizes/
Cheers!
