Image size issues

  • Hi there!

    I just switched to the dazzling theme because I really love the feel of the theme. However… I just can’t seem to get the image sizes right, and I’m not sure what to do. So all my posts have a featured image and in my previous theme (mon cahier) these didn’t do much except for the thumbnails in the related posts overview. So I just choose an image that was already in the post. The dazzling theme portrays the featured image at the top of each posts – which I love by the way – and apart from that I now have to delete those images from all posts (otherwise it will display twice) the sizing just seems off.

    In order to try to get the slider working I installed the regenerate thumbnails plugin (I read that somewhere on the forum) but that didn’t help ( maybe even made it worse). I can’t adjust the size of the featured image to 1920 X 550 because if I set it to 1920 it will jump to 1920 X 1440 (so I can’t ignore the scaling). Funny thing is, the images next to the post excerpts on my homepage are out of scale (although I don’t want them to be).

    Okay, long story short: what am I missing here in adjusting the images to the correct sizes?

    THANKS!!

    Featured images are cropped as 730 by 410px images. Slider images are not cropped at all and are displayed as is. So if you upload 1920px by 600px image you will get exactly that size image in slider.

    So for images that you use in slider you might want to use wide images that will be then cropped for use for featured images (cropped) and for slider.

    Featured image size are defined like this and you can change to any value that suits your needs.

    Okay, I’m trying to get this, but this is new territory for me (SORRY)…

    So I’ve already uploaded images in previous posts (and in my previous theme). Each post also already has a featured image. Do I adjust the image of the featured image (so in post) or of the image itself (so in the media library)? And for future uploads – do I need to adjust each image if I want it to appear in the slider?

    Now I have huge images in my slider (so not cropped at all) OR I have a regular sized image (I’m guessing the 730 by 410) with a weird large blank space underneath, before the rest of my content shows up. I will leave it up like this for now so maybe you can have a look? https://www.theaddictedtraveller.com

    The final image issue I have is that the size of the pictures next to the excerpts (so the featured images) are cropped and cut off – which I don’t want.

    I hope you can help me out!
