Atelier Blog Layout – stuck

[zachleary]

So, currently by Blog (called News) page is stuck looking like this:

Yes, I added the right column for products but ignore that for now. First, how do I get my images to appear smaller on the Blog/News Page? Why are they so big? I’ve tried everything and can’t find a setting to make them small. Like 80% smaller – it looks terrible as it is.

Second, what are my other options for layouts? Is it only Masonary or Mini? How do I do Mini with sidebar?

If I select “MINI” will the sidebar be included? Lots of questions I know, but I’m stuck on this. It’s the only part of the theme that has given us a headache.

1) The blog layouts are: Standard, Bold, Mini and Masonry.

2) You set the sidebar in the page Meta Options => Sidebar Options.

It looks like you have reduced your image size already.

Thanks,
David

Sorry, but I already knew all that. You just won the award for most unhelpful support reply ever. I paid for this?? Thanks.

Please look at my News page and offer a helpful solution.

The images on my news page are huge. Look at them and you will see. I provided the URLS. How can I make them smaller? They are not small, mini, reduced, etc…those are not thumbnails clearly. Please advise.

Let’s start there since you didn’t answer my second question either.

zachleary, your douchebag level is completely maxed out. I’d imagine every waiter pisses in your soup.

@zachleary – the blog layouts Standard, Bold, Mini and Masonry are just that – layouts. They do not indicate the image size used.

Sorry, but I already knew all that.

– you asked the initial question, “Is it only Masonry or Mini“, I then informed you about the two other layouts you did not list.

If you want to reduce your image sizes by 80%, you can use CSS and modify the theme to match your requirements. Here is an example to help you, please add this to Theme Options => Custom CSS:

.mini-items .blog-item figure {
    max-width: 20%;
}

I answered your second question regarding the sidebar on a blog page. A mini blog layout is set in the page builder as you know. You then set a sidebar in the page meta options, also as instructed above: Meta Options => Sidebar Options.

All the best,
