Remove cropping on featured image on a page
-
Hi, regarding the cropping of the featured image on a page. For the main page it’s good for me but on a specific page this crop have me to add the same image with the text on the bottom to be able to show it in full view, not cropped (you will see what I mean checking on my site and especially with the page named “Sorry guy’s but today it’s my turn). Remove the cropping would be great. Could you please assist.
Cheers

Hi Philippe, the theme and WordPress software create a center weighted, cropped image for the page featured images in Dyad. There isn’t a way to change that with CSS, it would require editing the theme php script files.
Great photograph.

Thank you for your quick answer. In between I chat with some of your colleagues, Eduardo and llama, and we go through some details. Eduardo told me that he will keep me posted maybe by contacting the company which is designing Dyad.
I really love this them and it’s little that I do not want on it. But this cropping issue could be the cherry on the cake if it could be solved ;)
Who can do eventually a php script file change? I have no problem with the cropping on the main page, only on top of specific page of my post.
Thank you for your time and would like to add that I find your team and customer service really good.
Please keep me posted
Cheers

Philippe, I just thought of something. Go to Appearance > Customize > CSS, delete all the informational text in that window, and paste in the following custom CSS, save and visit your site and look at the Sorry guys page and see what you think.
.postid-89 .site-banner-media, .site-banner .site-banner-thumbnail { background-image: url("https://behindtheimages.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/mg_3475-1.jpg") !important; }What it is doing is replacing the cropped image with the original image. Sorry I didn’t think of this originally. The image is set as a background element in the div, so in some instances we can override it, this being one of those.

Just tried and it’s acting strange by putting the image of the bird on top of the main page and cropped… it is also still cropped on the specific page of the image of the bird…
thanks for your time but any other idea :)
Cheers

Philippe, I’ve tried a number of things, and with your image being 1.5:1 (width to height) I have not been able to find a way to keep the image full sized without ending up with a lot of blank space on the sides of the image.
We cannot use php or javascript here at WordPress.com, and trying to write php script to take care of individual images, which could vary in proportions from image to image, would be a daunting task. Full width featured images on responsive designed themes, such as Dyad, are difficult to work with in this respect.

Hi thesacredpath, I understand that certain physical rules are not easy to avoid here. I appreciated that you tried to find a solution. Will think about it myself. Do you have any theme “Dyad like” that you can recommend me and which can answer my question? One of the think I do not want is an infinite scroll down in the main page. I much prefer small windows where we can click on. What I love in Dyad is the good balance in between image and text and would like to keep that also. I go through your almost entire offer of theme, even paid, and didn’t really find a good alternate to Dyad but maybe I missed something. Also I could be interested in the possibility to switch in between languages English/French/Spanish. In case you have a solution/offer for that also ;)
Many thanks again for your time
Cheers

Philippe, about all I have to offer, given that you are a photographer would be the following two listings in the Theme Showcase, filtered for Photography and Photoblogging.
Photography
Photoblogging
There will be some overlap on those two listings.On switching between languages, what about having categories for English, French and Spanish? The category pages display like the main page, without the top featured slider. You can see an example from your site here.
Another thing some do, is to create separate blogs and then create subdomains for the different languages, but if you plan on customizing things, that would mean an upgrade for each of the others also, which could get expensive.

Thanks and congrats for your speedy assistance.
Will check everything you advice to see I can find way for improvement for my project.
Have a nice evening!
