Hi again!

This time i have a few questions regarding picture resolutions.
#1. What happens if i use 1200x800px resolution (which is Canon SLR default ration) instead of 1200x700px? Does it have any repercussion somewhere else on the site?

#2. If i compare Frontpage Overlay Template on my site here http://10inchunit.com/ i can notice that the picture is much more "squeezed" regarding the width than on the demo site - https://demo.gavick.com/wordpress/writer/. Also, my site is using default uploaded picture - http://10inchunit.com/wp-content/upload ... -forms.jpg and your demo version resized - https://demo.gavick.com/wordpress/write ... 7407_L.jpg

#3. In my upload folder i have noticed the following resolution versions - 1024x683px, 500x380px, 300x200px, 150x150px - where are they used? What's the point than of using thumbnails from gk_nsp_cache folder?

#4. Where can i change the heading character length on my Frontpage Overlay picture? I have mostly longer headings and they often do not fit.

Thanks!

Hi,

Regarding your questions:

1. You can use 1200x800 resolution - the background-size has "cover" property, so it will fit to the container.

2. It's default uploaded image on our demo website - 1200 x 720px.

3. Please check the documentation - it's a default image sizes created by wordpress:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Re ... _thumbnail
We've also created additional 500x380px in functions.php file:
Code: Select all
add_image_size( 'portfolio-thumb', 500, 380, true );

which is used for polaroid styles - you can change the size by using "writer_portfolio_thumb_size" filter.
Thumbnails from gk_nsp_cache directory are displayed in News Show Pro widgets - you can specify the thumbnail size in widget settings - article layout tab.

4. Please navigate to Customizer -> Frontpage section and here you can change "Title chars limit" option.

Hi Piotr!
I have few more questions for you.

#1. Regarding News Show Pro widgets - Under Customizing - Widgets sidebar - Widget area - Article layout - Is it possible to get automatic thumbnail resizing in constant aspect ratio? For example, if i view my page 10inchunit.com on a smaller screen thumbnails are adjusted only horizontally and not vertically.

#2. Regarding article pictures - is it possible to a.) turn off black overlay on the frontpage picture b.) on the article picture c.) change the overlay sample for both - for example i could put some dotted black overlay? d.) change the color of heading font on the frontpage and article picture?

If your answer is yes, can you tell me how to do it through the whole site and whether would be possible to add some kind of an option in backend so i can choose for each published article whether i want overlay turned on/off and black or white heading font color?

Let me know if you need some further explanations!

Thanks!

Hi,
Regarding your questions:

1. Unfortunately it's not possible.
2. It's possible but requires theme modifications which are beyond our technical support (adding additional options to the backend etc.). If you are interested I can recommend you a great customization service:

1. Is constant thumbnail ratio possible at least with some additional programming or...? What's the catch with this widget?
2. Ok, but if i just want to turn the overlay off both for the frontpage and article (without adding the additional backend options) just to see how that will work for me before deciding for any heavy customization, where can i do it? In some css file or...? Tnx.

Hi,

1. In the Widget, you can select your image width and height and that's all, News Show Pro generates image with provided size. Now it depends on your theme css if the image is stretched to the container or not.

2. Please add the following custom css code, to remove the overlay from single post/pages and frontpage:
Code: Select all
.frontpage-image-overlay > span > span,
.single .entry-thumbnail:after,
.page .entry-thumbnail:after {
  display: none;
}
