    First of all. I would like to thank the author for providing such a great theme for free. This is my first post in www.remarpro.com support forum, I registered just to post here for Receptar actually.

    The homepage/posts list looks very nice in larger screens but featured images were insanely cropped (or just the top portion seen) when viewed in mobile. I know that there’s no other way but to crop the featured images to fit on the image placeholders of the theme. But, I’m looking into a way for mobiles to view the same featured images shown in larger screens. This is something about media queries but I couldn’t find the right css handler that handles it.

    One thing more is that is there a way to make the search bar not to occupy another line when viewed in mobile (and just stay on the right side of the site title/logo?Because this makes the theme appear slightly unpleasant consuming most of the screen view on top.

    As an additional, may I suggest that you make the post title font a little smaller especially for those who have 1300-1400px screen sizes. Same as the reason above that the excerpt and the continue reading button weren’t shown when you have posts that have long titles. I found a temporary solution to this by adding a custom css:

    @media only screen and (min-width: 1201px) and (max-width: 1500px) {
    .posts .entry-header {
    font-size: .7em;
    }
    }

    Also, I found out that the featured images being cropped for post thumbnails can not handle images that has height below 1000-900px (I am not that sure about the value). When a post has a featured image below the value, the cropped version will not be 480×640 (roughly). This makes the posts list distorted, as the images generated have height lower than 640px. I had already regenerated thumbnails in this case.

    Forgive me for such a bunch of questions and concerns. I just see this theme as unique with a great potential.

    Here is my blog: https://wwww.spideylab.om

    Thank you very much. Again, this is a great theme! It is nice to see a different and “tasty” theme here i n wordpress.

  • Hi,

    I’m glad you like the theme ??

    I suggest you better post your issues to https://support.webmandesign.eu forum for me to provide you faster reply and to keep the issues (mostly) in one place. And you should log each issue as a new ticket to keep tickets monothematic.

    To fix mobile images size, please use this custom CSS:

    @media only screen and (max-width: 680px) {
     .site .posts .hentry .entry-media {
      padding: 0;
      overflow: visible;
     }
     .posts .entry-media .post-thumbnail {
      position: relative;
      top: 0;
      -webkit-transform: none;
          -ms-transform: none;
              transform: none;
     }
    }
    

    The search bar on a new line on mobile actually displays like this to offer wide compatibility with different logo sizes and also to provide a compatibility with as many mobile devices as possible. But you may try to modify this upon your logo width with this custom CSS (but I don’t really recommend it for to maintain compatibility with widest range of mobile devices):

    @media only screen and (max-width: 960px) {
     .site-branding {
      float: left;
      width: 50%;
     }
     .site .site-header-widgets {
      float: right;
      width: 50%;
     }
    }
    

    To set up a custom title size, please use code inspector tool in your browser and then apply your custom CSS. Something like this:

    h1, .h1 {
     font-size: 2em; /* 3em is default */
    }
    

    But please note that the theme was specifically designed and the layout used does not actually allow for very long post titles and/or excerpts. You should count on that. I might introduce a fix for this later using the newest CSS styling, but I’m not convinced yet to use it due to browser support.

    For proper image sizes please read https://www.webmandesign.eu/manual/receptar/#tips

    Please note that some of these actually falls into modifications category and I do not provide support on those… Please read https://support.webmandesign.eu/support-policy-and-terms-of-service/

    Thanks Oliver. The custom CSS fixed it! I just added the

    , .is-singular:not(.home) .site-header-widgets

    in the .site-header-widgets as the posts and pages do not honor the custom CSS.

    Yes, I know but recipes (as this theme seemed to be a recipe book inspired) do not always have short titles. I am not obliging or forcing you (as this is a free theme) but I will be glad if you will introduce the fix soon. ??

    I am aware with the recommended image sizes but I find it weird that a cropped version doesn’t utilize all the available pixels of the original image. For example, an image with a 845px height, when cropped, one should expect that it could give a 640px new height (since the original image is larger). But it is not the case, the cropped thumbnail has a lower height px. Maybe it is depending on aspect ratios as the width is consistent on all images at 480px. The dimension stated in the user manual, 480×640 was not followed as the theme produces a thumbnail in a variable height. I hope I explained it clearly. I am not knowledgeable enough if wordpress core is to blame since this is my first time to encounter image dimension issues with a theme.

    Hi,

    But I can’t really see the issue with images on your website… Can you provide screenshot and log a ticket for this issue on https://support.webmandesign.eu?

    The image cropping is being taken care by WordPress core, not by the theme. The theme only tells WordPress what image sizes it needs.

    Regards,

    Oliver

    And, actually I don’t see an issue with post titles when I shrink the browser’s window size… What post is affected by this?

    I already replaced the images affected that’s why it isn’t visible now (Since it really distorts the posts list). I will create a test post for you to see. Thanks.

    Edit: Kindly ignore this ticket about the thumbnail size. The images I had mentioned had height pixels below 640px. It is my fault. Not the theme. I’m sorry.

    Again, thanks for the effort you exerted to resolve the thumbnail issue. I saw you Oliver loading my blog homepage many times. ??

    2nd edit: It will be quite good feature if the theme can handle images that has lower resolution. I do not know how but it did when the “smaller” thumbnails are not yet regenerated but still the old images align beautifully.

    I will have to do some testing on that as it really requires the new CSS feature or using an additional JavaScript, which I want to keep to minimum…
