    Hi,

    I hope you can help. I am having issues with the sizes that images in my category pages are displaying. I have my woo commerce category pages to set up to display products as ‘standard’ but they are of varying heights and its all currently looking a mess. How do I resolve this? I’m not sure how to get my woo commerce and atelier settings to match and also do i need to upload images as a specific size or will they be resized? I’m building a multi-vendor marketplace and am having my vendors begin uploading products so i need to know how to solve this soon before I get lots of images uploaded that are all the wrong size! NB on my homepage I do have some products set to display in gallery format. will the settings also work to display them properly?

    additionally – some of my vendors are uploading jpegs as images – is this going to cause a problem with page load speeds or is there something in the theme that compresses them sufficiently? i was sticking to uploading GIFs but it is a pain having to do this if files need converting so i wanted to check how it is set up before i have hundreds of jpegs uploaded to the site!

    Thanks for your help – apologies for my lack of knowledge. I’ve tried playing around with it but thought it is better to just ask at this stage!

    many thanks,
    Philippa

    Hi Philippa,

    If you want your images to be square, you will need to adjust the size. For example the category pages output 270×270 so you would want to look to upload an image of around 1080 x 1080 in size that will then nicely scale down proportionally.

    When you change the image sizes in WooCommerce (WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Display), be sure to re-generate the images using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/ else the sizes will not work and become blurred.

    If you want to compress and optimise your image size, I suggest using this plugin: https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smushit/ this will reuduce the image size on upload. You should still optimise the image for web before, for example a .jpg that has been saved for web at and then passed through an app like https://imageoptim.com/ will help further.

    Thanks,
    David.
