Hey,
Your using jetpacks “photon”
Previously it completely overrode the theme. and thus your image would be full size (not cropped to fit or even resized for better loading.
With updated now the theme can single to have the images resized and cropped. Thats the difference you are seeing. The images were always supposed to be square in the portrait mode when the images are beside the post excerpt.
I’ll take your request through and consider an option that would leave the images in whatever ratio uploaded. Might be a hook I can add into the theme.
As for moving the sidebar up. You seem to be using “pagebuilder” in your sidebar??
it’s adding code that would be better for a page then a sidebar but you can use some css to clean it up:
.sidebar .panel-grid-cell .widget {
margin: 0;
}
also you are using a text widget in the first item in your sidebar. You have an empty row in that widget and thats adding about 30px to the top of your sidebar. go into the text widget and remove that empty space above the image your adding for a title.
