Sela preview posts and image width

  • Unknown's avatar

    I just transferred over some blog posts from blogger to wordpress and set up the Sela theme.

    On my previous blogger site, there was an image and some preview text for each post, instead of displaying the entire blog post on the main blog page. (Example). Is this possible on this theme?

    Also, when I transferred over my posts, all of my large-sized, full-width images have been made tiny. What is the easiest way to adjust the size of all of these images to be 100% post width?

    Thank you in advance!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    You can do this post by post as there is no universal setting.

    Although you can set your RSS Feed to summary, that setting here > Settings > Reading is only for the RSS Feed summary and does not affect the posts.

    When it comes to inserting “the more tag” AKA “the read more tag” into posts to shorten front page display be splitting text there is no universal setting for the whole blog. This is done post by post.

    If you want to display only excerpts on the front page of the blog followed by read more links, you can insert “the more tag” into each post prior to publication.

    The read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the text does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.

    Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. This is a list of only SOME active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410

    I do not know how to help with that so I tagged this thread for Staff help. When we need Staff help with issues Volunteers cannot resolve like this one we type modlook into the sidebar tags on our forum threads.

    You could do this with some CSS, but that may result in a decrease in picture quality. I’ve noticed that your images don’t seem much larger than the sizes embedded in your posts. Do you have any specific examples of much larger images being embedded too small?
