3.9.4 Post Slider and Page featured image

Hello @andreasl,

Post Slider: The slider is big. the Image inside is without any border. In 3.8.4 it’s look better and scale better if you resize the windows.

The slider uses now different script (bootstrap) so the layout also has been changed. I think the responsiveness is better now, but that’s my opinion. Not everyone must be happy with that.

The featured image only works on blog posting.

This I will fix in the next version

predefined sample layouts are gone or I cant find it.

This has to be removed per WP requirements

Thank you, Romik84 for lloking into it.

While testing 3.9.4 I found another issue with pages. I missing the option to select templates for the page and this result in missing content. I design another site with envolve 3.8.4 and create an entry page with bootstrap slider and template ‘blog’ to display some news. The content is gone while updating to 3.9.4. I found a temporary fix by modify the start page from content to last messages.

Do you have some instructions for custom CSS to modify the slider? This could help to change the design to the old look (I hope). The best would be more setting options in the theme for the slider section.

Thanks for info about the predefined sample layouts.

Regards
Andreas

If you mean the Blog Template, yes it was removed, as the default WP function allows this in Settings -> Reading -> Your homepage displays -> Posts page, if you set it, it will assign a blog to the desired page. I dont have instructions for CSS customizations as any specific change require specific CSS definition.

I found a solution to resize the featured images on portfolios to the size I like. I just install the plugin ‘Simple Image Sizes’ and now I can change the size and crop it. I testing it on sliders and will see what happens.

Featured Images on pages are still missing in V3.9.6

@andreasl shame on me…I forgot to make it ?? even it’s in my todo list … will try not forget in next release ??

Romiko, if you do this, can you please make it a customizable option? I’m asking because I don’t want the featured images on pages in my installation — so if you add it in, it will cause problems for me and for anyone else who have created and laid out their pages without display of a featured image.

I’d suggest having it default to the way it is now — to cause the least amount of disruption to existing sites – and then of course anyone who wants the image will be able to enable it.

I think I will just make it with existing option as now, so user can enable/disable featured image on post/page on the same time.

I work on post sliders in my local dev version and try to reduce the size of the imnage. I try the plugin ‘Simple Image Size’ but it has no visible effect. The Image type evolve-slider-thumbnail was reduced to 400x300px but the theme slider layout scale it up to 615x461px. Is there a way to prevent rescaling this image beyond the original size? Maybe with a custom css? For my use the image is to big in the slider and I like to reduce it a little bit.

I can use this pice of code

.carousel img {
  margin-top: -45px;
	margin-bottom: -45px;
}

but this is only a quick and dirty fix. I have no more skills to find out the correct way.
