Image re-sizing issues and ‘read more’ issues
-
I’m tearing my hair out at these two issues thrown up by a custom page template.
Front page of site is three columns and the posts chronologically appear in the narrow-ish left hand column.
I also have custom pages based on categories. The custom page has only two columns though, with a larger post area on the left (more reader friendly) and a narrow sidebar.
On the front page, I use the medium image size generated by wordpress, and because the column is narrow, a small amount of text before I break it just after the text has wrapped nicely around the image.
This same post ‘teaser’ when called on the reader-friendly custom page is just wrong. The larger column width means the text floats next to the larger image, doesn’t wrap – and in fact the other posts below start wrapping it as well. Very messy.
I can style a minimum height per POST, but this creates a lot of white space under the text next to disproportionately large image.
Ideally, either I would like to make the image smaller, so the text fits nicely to the right of it. OR I would like to be able to adjust the teaser length on this page alone, so I can have more text flowing to wrap around the image.
I have spent over a week trying to figure out how to do either of these things. Re-sizing the wordpress medium sized image using css is one thing, but then the caption box doesn’t fit properly and I have no idea how to re-size this to fit a changed image size.
I have tried to force the text into a ‘narrower’ space by creating an info box floated right – but this is just wrong.
I am fairly desperate now, and would appreciate any help going.
