Image size of the post/page vs featured image size

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi there, I am using pictorico theme and I have 2 questions:
    1)I realise that the effect black/white in the “mosaic” images on the first page of my web site doesn’t show up with Windows 8. How can I make it work?
    2)
    a) I would like to resize the images of each post/page once I am inside the post/page (make them smaller) but I would like that the first featured images size remain the same independently. How ? I guess I have to use a CSS code for each page/post.
    b) If I can get these images smaller, I would like to modify the line of the title of the post and make it smaller too.

    Thank you very much!
    Have a nice day,
    Eleonora

    Hello!
    1. It might just be a compatibility issue or it may depend on the browser.
    You can test the site out here:
    https://www.modern.ie/en-us/screenshots

    Here is a screenshot of your site via modern.ie
    http://pbrd.co/1ytMvYJ

    2a: You can use CSS to specify image size of the picture.
    See example: http://pbrd.co/1ytGXNU
    Code to use:

    img {
        height: 500px;
        width: 500px;
    }

    Whereas “500px” is where you would specify your size

    If you run into any other issues feel free to post.

    Thank you for your reply but unfortunately I can’t fix the problem.
    1. Yes, it is a compatibility issue infact using your test site it shows that it is not working for Windows 8.1Internet Explorer 11.0 and other browers. That is a problem. Is it possible to solve it in some ways?

    2. I don’t have the same screen as you so I don’t really know how can I add the exact CSS code related to a specific page/post.
    I would like that the first featured images size I see in the first page remain unchanged in size from the one I want to modify once I get into the post/page.

    Thanks so much!

    WordPress does recognize the compatibility issue and suggests it is theme related. Can you confirm that if you change your theme (try twenty-ten) you can get it to work with Windows 8 and IE 11? If you change the theme and run it through the test-site does it still look the same or different?

    A note about Internet Explorer: WordPress.com strives to work with as many browsers as possible; some themes are only compatible with Internet Explorer 9 and above and may not be fully functional on Internet Explorer 8 or other previous versions.

    2. Can you confirm if you have the CSS ability? If you have a business or premium plan you would have that feature.
    See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/

    If you do, just so we are clear you are wanting to keep these pictures front page the same size:

    BUT change the header image of the individual post?

    2. Yes, I have CSS ability, having WordPress Premium.
    And Yes, I would like to keep the pictures you shown and also the big pictures in the slider/front page the same size BUT change the header image of the individual post/page. How can I do it? (also resize the bar of the title if possible)

    1. Thanks for the links for the browser issues. I will check that.

    Thanks a lot!

    1. If I “Activate” the theme you suggested (Twenty-ten) after can I come back to Pictorico without loosing anything? I prefer ask you before :)

  • Unknown's avatar

    Yes, if you switch to another theme you can switch back again.
    If your site gets a lot of traffic you can preview the theme before activating it.

    1. Yes, I confirm that if I change my theme (I tried twenty-ten) I could get it to work with Windows 8 and IE 11…

  • Unknown's avatar

    Ok! The answer to your Question 1, means it is theme related. In other words, the theme itself is causing interference for users with Windows 8 and IE 11.
    Does a possibility exist of some sort of work-around? Most likely not because of the theme.

  • Unknown's avatar

    Fortunately I saved on a separate document all the CSS codes I have done so far because if I switch back to the Pictorico all the CSS writing are lost…
    So for everyone if you want to change theme be sure you save the CSS writing you have done!

  • Unknown's avatar

    It is a pity that the theme doesn’t work for all the browsers! Also because Windows 8 is used a lot.. Anyway I will try some sort of work around! Thanks anyway!
    Do you have other ideas for the question n°2 ?

  • Unknown's avatar

    For number 2:
    I was able to get a resize on your header images for the posts with the following code:

    entry-thumbnail, .header-image {
    background-position: center center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    height: INSERT_NUMBER_PX_HERE
    left: 0;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    width: 100%;
    z-index: 0;
    }

    For the width you can change it by inserting a number px there (such as 300px)
    See here for example:

  • Unknown's avatar
    entry-thumbnail, .header-image {
    background-position: center center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    height: INSERT_NUMBER_PX_HERE
    left: 0;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    width: 100%;
    z-index: 0;
    }

    Though by adjusting the header image on the post it may impact the picture on the front-page. Can you confirm if that happens?

  • Unknown's avatar

    That’s my problem. By adjusting the header image on the post or page it impacts the picture on the front-page…

  • Unknown's avatar

    Thank you.
    To make it works as I want we have to add #main as following:

    #main .entry-thumbnail, .header-image {

    In this way it doesn’t impact the picture on the front page.
    Now I am trying to do the same in order to adjust the title and the header, without impacting the post on the front page.
    If you have any help for that I would be grateful !
    All the best

  • Unknown's avatar

    Couple follow-up questions:
    1. Is that what you wanted the picture on the front-page to look like? Or have you not yet added the #main?

    2. For the post title and header-space ( I notice the header-image has been adjusted) what are you expecting/anticipating to be done?

  • Unknown's avatar

    1. The picture in the front page are fine, I have just to crop/resize the image.

    2. Yes, I adjusted the header-image and I would like to be able to adjust also the title and the header-space (make it smaller) but without affecting the mosaic image on the front page.

    2. I would like to modify for example the following title/header (the same template for all the posts/pages):

    http://www.evernote.com/shard/s519/sh/3d568cb6-6bae-470e-95e1-2781c7aa451f/603833ca5ad8cfa01ef9e54c64d337b4

    Thanks!

    Ok…
    It appears that you can play around with the title with the following CSS

    .has-thumbnail .entry-header .entry-title {
        background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
        bottom: 0;
        display: block;
        line-height: 1.25;
        margin: 0;
        padding: 30px;
        position: absolute;
        width: 100%;
    }

    If you change padding to 300px I was able to move the title up.
    http://pbrd.co/11hXlqI
    If you get rid of bottom:0 it also causes it to move up
    See here: http://pbrd.co/11hXiLs

    I am not sure if that is what you wanted. I am also not quite sure about the header-space. Maybe someone else can jump in and assist?
