Adverts and Recent post elements

[NMillard]

I have two problems:

1. Recent posts
The image quality of the featured img on recent posts is terrible even though the img is hidef.
Which settings do I need to adjust to fix this?

2. Advert widget
I have uploaded a placeholder img in 125×125 but there’s more room to the right of the adverts. Is it supposed to be like this or what causes this to happend?

Hi

Can you provide a link so I can look at these issues?

Can you deactivate your plugins to see if that changes anything. My guess is one of your plugins is changing the image size to help performance

I’ve tried to disable the plugins but it doesnt work… Seems to only affect the Recent Post element showing 1 post.

but how about the Advert thing? Disabling plugins doesnt do anything there, either…

Add this to your custom css:

.sidebar-ad-grid li {
  width: 30%;
}

Great! The sidebar ad thing worked! 🙂

I still need to fix the img quality on the front page though.

It seems to ONLY affect imgs on the Recent post element when the element is size 1/3 or bigger.
I’ve tried to deactivate nearly all my plugins, but nothing seems to work….

Great.

Can you try to regenerate your thumbnails?
Use this plugin.

Regenerate Thumbnails

Let us know if it worked.

Hi again!

I’ve tried the regen plugin. Doesnt seem to do anything in this case.
Tried to run the regen with other plugins deactivated and with them activated.

I really don’t understand what’s going on as it’s ONLY imgs on Recent post elements sized 1/3 and bigger. I’d kinda understand if it was all my imgs that looked crappy.

Can you try reuploading the image?

– Kyle

[NMillard]

Yeah I’ve tried to reupload the image.. still nothing.

[Kyle – SUPPORT]

Is it just that post? Or does it do it no matter what post it is?

– Kyle

[NMillard]

What post it is doesnt matter.

What matters is which element it is. Only Recent Post elements seem to be affected.
The element size 1/3 og bigger will make the img look blurry and pixelated. If the Recent post element takes up less space than 1/3 then it looks fine.

If you want to edit the thumbnail sizes, you will have to go to wp-content/themes/swift-framework/pagebuilder/shortcodes/recent-posts.php and edit this section:

$count        = 0;
            $image_width  = 270;
            $image_height = 270;

            if ( $item_columns == "1" ) {
                $item_class = 'col-sm-12';
            } else if ( $item_columns == "2" ) {
                $image_width  = 540;
                $image_height = 540;
                $item_class   = 'col-sm-6';
            } else if ( $item_columns == "3" ) {
                $image_width  = 360;
                $image_height = 360;
                $item_class   = 'col-sm-4';
            } else if ( $item_columns == "5" ) {
                $image_width  = 360;
                $image_height = 360;
                $item_class   = 'col-sm-sf-5';
            } else {
                $item_class = 'col-sm-3';
            }

Would that mean the thumbnail on recent post elements would actually get smaller? I like the size they have I just dont understand why the image is all blurry, and why it only affects that specific element
