Hi there,

For the related items, try using the following CSS in the Custom CSS box on your Customize page...

.relatedItem .featuredImage {
    display: block;
    height: 100px;
    overflow: hidden;
}
.relatedItem .featuredImage img {
    display: block;
    height: auto;
    max-height: 100%;
    max-width: 100%;
    width: auto;
}

For the home slider, try using the following CSS in the Custom CSS box on your Customize page...

.cn_content a img {
    max-width: 100%;
    width: auto;
}

Let me know if that helps address issues you have will small featured images.

Best,

Chris

I'm speaking without any claim but it is umpossibru to work with such delicate and demanding sort of image tool (I mean code/CSS) which integrated in the template.

There is more than ~ thousand articles with random images that automaticly posting to this site, so we unable to monitor them completely and manually resize images to required format so they looks as in demo. You must understand it. Also problem have a place even after you said that I do not need to regenerate thubms forward, it will be fine when images will be uploaded after installing theme. And what?

So, how I can avoid this problem? For example, title's length is hard-coded. But sometimes it is too long so I just add new function in functions.php that limits title's length 'on-the-fly' during excerpt process. May be there is some modification of <the_thumbnail_post> exists that allow crop images 'on-the-fly' too? And crop them anyway, not depending on proportion etc.

Hi there,

The images aren't being cropped because they aren't large enough, but the CSS is still making sure they fill the space provided (specifically the width available).

Please make sure the images are large enough to naturally fit the space they occupy.

Let me know if that helps.

Chris

How they can occupy more space than needed if they aren't LARGE enough?

Hi there,

The images you're using aren't large enough, so they will not be properly cropped to fit that space. Please make sure the images are large enough to naturally fit the space they occupy.

Let me know if that helps.

Your words is totally clear for me but I have issue with thumbnail's dimensions anyway. See screenshots which I made today (so they was uploaded AFTER installing your theme):

Ignore thumb quality because they have small resolution and was streched.

As you see, these images (and many others if you see my web-site) in this cases (post/index pages) have incorrect dimensions even if they was uploaded after installing your theme.

How fix this problem?

Hi there,

1. That's normal. The first post on category listings are intentionally made larger (including the image). See demo site as a reference: http://themes.themolitor.com/dailypress/category/news/

2. That's the "ONE" image I'm referring to when I mentioned the related section issue.

3. Images in the post content like that aren't controlled by the theme. When you insert images, you choose the size you want to use. You'll need to review the image settings when you insert them into the post content. Let me know if that makes sense.

Looking at your site, a lot of the images you're using aren't large enough, so some stretching is occurring. Please make sure the images are large enough to naturally fit the space they occupy.

I just want to reiterate, the theme DOES have the image sizes hard-coded in the functions file, but that only works for images that are uploaded AFTER the theme is installed. Because you installed the theme after the content was already created (a perfectly normal thing to do), none of the images will have been properly formatted based on the dimensions the theme has in place because the images already went through the sizing process when they were originally uploaded.

For example, let's say the theme you were using before when you originally uploaded the images had the thumbnail pixel settings to 50x50. All the images you uploaded with that theme were cropped and stored on your database with 50x50 dimensions for the thumbnails. When you change to a theme that has the thumbnail pixel setting (hard-coded) to 100x100, the images will be stretched because they are all 50x50 already. The only real solution is to use the regenerate plugin to have the images on your database resized to the new thumbnail settings, which is hard-coded in the theme. This will be the case with ANY theme that has custom thumbnail dimensions.

Please let me know if that helps clarify the issue.

Best,

Chris

"Just to clarify, the only issue I see is with ONE of the posts in the related section"

Please, check all the screenshots that I have attached.

http://enoughme.com/etc/Снимок%20экрана%202014-03-03%20в%202.12.53.png - upper thumbnail bigger than lower, as you see
http://enoughme.com/etc/Снимок%20экрана%202014-03-03%20в%202.12.27.png - right image bigger than previous two
http://enoughme.com/etc/Снимок%20экрана%202014-03-03%20в%202.24.45.png - this image bigger than any other (see this post for compare: http://goo.gl/aGt3Cp)

As you see, I have this problem on the index page, in related posts block and on posts' page. And this is not isolated cases! If you check my web-site (http://mundir-ru.ru) more closely you will notice that such problem appears in huge amount of posts!

So if I will regenerate only these images it would not repair other images in other cases. Exactly because of this I said that process of regenerating ALL images is irrational. I need to set thumbnails dimensions in code (functions/css) so it will be 'resized' on the fly. And yes, of course I use theme AFTER creating posts because this web-site is working already more than year. And I think that this is doesn't matter with which dimensions that images were created, it is possible to set new size during excerpt anyway. Like I'm cuts title to 10 symbols via editing excerpt function in function.php while it actually has more than 10 symbols ;)

FYI - this WordPress installation working paired with special news parser so it is already 130k articles in the blog with attached images and counting (at least 500 articles adding everyday).

Hi there,

You shouldn't have to regenerate images going forward.

As I mentioned above, the dimensions are already hard-coded in functions.php.

Just to clarify, the only issue I see is with ONE of the posts in the related section. Reference: http://enoughme.com/etc/%D0%A1%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%BA%20%D1%8D%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B0%202014-03-03%20%D0%B2%202.12.27.png

Maybe try regenerating that image only? Remember, you can regenerate images individually with the plugin too. You don't have to do ALL your images.

Also, did you install/setup the theme after you created those posts? Have you tried creating a new post with a featured image to check the image dimensions? I ask because if you used this theme AFTER you created those posts, then the images wouldn't have been created with the proper dimensions.

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Chris

I'm already tried it when I used an old theme and I was totally bored. =/ Chris, I know that you want to make everything as better as a developer and give to your customers only the best advices, but with such huge amount of images regenerate all them with plugin... it irrationally!

Also you must keep in mind that fact that amount of images is constantly growing so the process of regenerating will never ends! I mean that I'll have to launch it once again and again...

So it would be more flexible and easier to make hard-code dimension for them via function or CSS. And I'll be much appreciated if you advice how to do it.

Hi there,

The plugin does all the regenerating for you automatically, so it shouldn't take too long. It's worth a try at least.

The thumbnail sizes are hard-coded in the functions.php file, so that wouldn't make a difference.

Give the plugin a try and let me know.

Best,

Chris

It wouldn't help because I have at least 120k of images... I will regenerate thumbnails for ever! So I'm interested in hard-coded dimensions for them, may be via editing the_post_thumbnail functions...

Also as you see I want to add some padding around image in post page, how I can get it?

Hi there,

Thumbnails should all be the same size, except for the first post on category listing pages (first example above) and images inserted into the post content (your third example above), of which are in your control.

One thing to try is a regenerating the thumbnails using this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Chris

Don't miss my theme please, Chris! :)

Also, how I can set for all images in articles some padding? Via some excerpt function maybe. Because for now text in article almost closed with images. Look at this for example:

http://mundir-ru.ru/2014/03/03/S-Ryabuhin-Senatory-podgotovili-pyat-zakonov-po-deofshorizacii-rossiiyskoiy-ekonomiki/

As you see, it looks very bad. And this happend after changing my theme to DailyPress :( Instead of this I wanna that it looks like this:

http://enoughme.com/etc/fpvhb74odjgowkb.png

It is looks much pretty, huh?

Cheers! You created beautiful theme, Chris!

I have one question. I discovered that you use simple <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?> to display post thumbnails. But how I can set one size for all of them?

Because for now some thumbnails bigger, some not and this looks not so pretty =/ For examples some screenshots:

http://enoughme.com/etc/Снимок%20экрана%202014-03-03%20в%202.12.53.png
http://enoughme.com/etc/Снимок%20экрана%202014-03-03%20в%202.12.27.png
http://enoughme.com/etc/Снимок%20экрана%202014-03-03%20в%202.24.45.png - LOL!!!

So it would be great if ALL thumbnails have similar hard-coded dimensions (e.g. 100x100). I think, it possible via managing the_post_thumbnails and without any additional plugins/etc.

Hope on your soon answer. Thanks!
