    Hi, I need some advice for Featured Image of Blog Posts.

    1. If I set the home page to show “Single Author, small preview…”, it allows space for a featured image even if there is none! How do I get rid of this unnecessary space?

    2. On both the home page and the post page, it is unnecessarily cropping the image.

    And yes, I’ve tried regenerating the thumbnails.

    Thanks in advance for you amazing, prompt support!

    Hey wintner!

    Thank you for using our theme.
    1)
    Currently there is no easy possibility to avoid this space. Would need changes in the core files.

    Put the following in custom.css or Enfold->Styling-> Quick CSS field to hide ALL inages:

    
.home article .blog-meta{
display: none;
}

    2)
    The image sizes used in the templates are predefined (see functions.php line 91ff). When uploading images WP automatically does the resizing. Best way if you are not satisfied is resizing images manually and then uploading.

    Regards,
    Günter

    Thanks Gunter,
    1. This should be incorporated into the function of the theme. Why should a space be allocated if there is no image? But we should be able to show the image preview where a post has one. display: none; is not an ideal solution.

    2. The image was resized to fit the space and is still cropped unnecessarily.

    Hi!

    1) The space isn’t actually filled with nothing it just appears that way because the icons color is the same as the background on your site. Its a design choice and not every possible design variation will be added into the theme since user customization is still a very normal expectation.

    2) You can use this plugin to customize the image sizes generated for the various uses as well as the crop values (true, false, position): http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-image-sizes/

    Cheers!

    Thanks Devin

    1. Actually I had to change the icons color or have ugly generic gray square icons where there was no featured image!
