Hey Dorota,

I’m not sure I follow, because I went on both posts and the images look as expected. And both images are 1920×1280 in dimensions, so i’m not sure what you mean by “the pictures are vertical”, can you please elaborate a bit to help me understand what you mean?

Cubell

Hi! 1920×1280 is horizontal, while e.g. 1280×1920 is vertical. That’s what I mean . Please scroll down till the end of each post, before sharing icons are shown. There are vertical pictures of the food in both posts, set asalligned to the center. In http://dorota.in/nalesniki-z-serem/ the picture is visible properly, alligned to the center. In http://dorota.in/ciasto-z-malinami/ the picture, even though being set as aligned to the center, is shown aligned to left. This left alignment happens when I try to edit some old posts. The “Nalesniki z serem” post was not edited after I had activated 15zine theme. The “Ciasto z malinami” post was manually edited to and the only thing I modified was setting the video play button. No text editing, but somehow this alignment changes. In each post I try to edit after 15zine installation.

Hi, still waiting for an answear.

Hey again,

Are those the pictures you are referring to?

Cubell

Hi again. No. I am not referring to featured images. I am referring to images in the end of the posts. Please open both posts and scroll down like you were reading them. Please check how these pictures http://dorota.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/nalesniki-z-serem.jpg and http://dorota.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/ciasto_z_malinami.jpg are displayed.

Hey again,

Ah I see! That is related to a CSS bug when you center + caption an embed that isn’t too wide. I am going to fix it for v2. But I think if you edit the post and turn off the Embeds bigger than the content option it might fix it for now.

Cubell

Ok, I’ll wait for the fix because I have already edited around 40 posts where this issue happens.

I think the bug is also visible for big images I center. Please take a look at this post: http://DOROTA.iN/kuchnia-kubanska/. All of the images are fullwidth even though they are set as centered and I thought they would be as wide as the post content. It’s hard to read and watch if there are so many fullwidth photos. And also this one, where some images are fullwidth, and some are not: http://dorota.in/metamorfoza-kuchni-przemaluj-meble-na-bialo/. In this post, all of the images are centered, but almost all display in a different way: wide but cropped, aligned left etc.

Sure thing! But that one you share isn’t a bug, those are working as expected. It’s a theme feature to have images that big. To change that you need to turn off the option in the layout options tab when editing the post. There is an option to make embeds bigger than content area. Turn that off and it should output as you are saying you want it o.

Cubell

Ok, found the option, thanks . Would be great if it was available as global setting, is it possible?

And still, the question about displaying the images in this post: http://dorota.in/metamorfoza-kuchni-przemaluj-meble-na-bialo/. Some of them are fullwidth but cropped so the logo is not visible. One of them is fullwidth but not cropped. What shall I do to make them all look the same way, like this one: http://dorota.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/dorota-kaminska-kuchnia-biale-meble.jpg?

Regards, Dorota

There is a global post sidebar override in the Theme Options -> Posts where you can set that sidebar style to all posts if you wish.

And are you referring about the parallax image? If so, you can’t control exactly what parts of the image are visible, as the nature of responsive full-screen images means on some screens, some parts are cut off to fit nicely.

Cubell

Hi again .

I’ve been already using using global post override settings:

GLOBAL FEATURED IMAGE STYLE -> Parallax GLOBAL POST SIDEBAR STYLE OVERRIDE -> On and set to NO SIDEBAR

The global options FULL-SCREEN WIDTH IMAGE EMBEDS and EMBEDS BIGGER THAN CONTENT AREA are not available and they would be useful for an older blog like mine, where so many posts exist and need to be edited manually.

And for the second question I wasn’t referring to the parallax image. I was referring to the images inside the post http://dorota.in/metamorfoza-kuchni-przemaluj-meble-na-bialo/.

This image is also inside the post and while fullwidth, it is not cropped and you can see the whole logotype on it: http://dorota.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/dorota-kaminska-kuchnia-biale-meble.jpg

These images are cropped and you can’t see neither the logo on them, nor their full description:

Hey Dorota,

I hope you are well and thanks again for choosing 15Zine.

I ran a Google speed test and the main issue with your site is your images:

You need to optimize your images before uploading them to your site, and this has nothing to do with the theme you use, as images are not controlled by themes. The recommended way to optimize images is to open them in Photoshop (or similar) and use the “Save for web” option, then set the quality to around 80%. This will result in an image that looks almost identical to the original but be much, much smaller in size. You can also install Smush.it plugin to try to help with it.

And I actually recommend using W3 Total Cache instead of super cache, in my experience it is better. To uninstall super cache though you need to do some special steps, check them out here:

I hope this helps.

Cubell

My hosting provider support analyzed the theme and the problem is in the 15zine Functionality Plugin (which now is switched off, because when active, it sends over 100 requests by each subpage loading and doesnt get to be fully cached). When this plugin was active, my server had huge problems with database connections. This problem didn’t exist with the previous template, even though the images were the same size. That’s where the main problem is and with or without images compressed, it will exist if you don’t optimize 15zine functionality plugin.

Hi,

I also have another problem;

In the post page when I change the layout option to “no sidebar – site width” and I update the page, it does not save the new option but it gets back to the default option with sidebar even if I select “IGNORE GLOBAL OVERRIDE”

Do you know why?

Many thanks

Hey Viajera,

Thanks for choosing 15Zine, I’m really happy you love it

You could either add another module and use the offset option to skip the first 16 posts, and that will show all your 25 posts, or you could add the paginated block (last one in the pagebuilder) to show all your posts with pagination.

And when you say “post page”, do you mean a post, or a page? Because pages aren’t influenced by the global sidebar setting, that is only for posts

Cubell

Hello, I mean a post, I want that in some posts it appears the sidebar in other it does not.

Ah I see. Can you tell me your exact setup then – Do you have a global setting for the sidebars? And what is it set to? Are all posts showing that option? And finally, you are saying that you want a post to have a different sidebar option but you can’t disable the global setting?

cubell

Hi,

Many thanks for your answer. Don’t know the reason but now it works.

In the post style no sidebar, the text is alligned in the center. Is it possible to allign if on the left and make it using the entire width of the photo?

Many thanks for your answer.

You’re welcome and that’s good to hear

I’m afraid that isn’t possible, as the content is centered on a screen-level, so if you try to make it go to the left, it will be on the left of the screen.

Cubell

Ok thanks, do you think to make it possible in future updates? It would be really helpful for me.

Last question; do you know how I can reduce the width of the sidebar?

Thanks in advance!

Hey again,

No problem! I’m not sure if it’s actually possible to implement that though. The only thing I wonder is, are you saying you want to have no-sidebar but use all the width of the site, instead of just the center? Because if so, actually there might be an option for that already. When you set a post to have no sidebar, there are two options “Narrow centered style” or “full-width style”. Have you tried the full-width style?

And there is the way to change the sidebar width unless you use the 1020px version of the site. This is because the theme was designed on a column of 3 and 12, so the layout is coded this way, making a sidebar bigger/smaller would cause layout issues and wouldn’t look as good

Cubell

Hello,

I tried to use the “full width style” but it cut all the images and you cannot see them properly.

Regarding the sidebar, I use the 1200 px but I could not find how to change the siedbar width.

Thanks in advance!

Hello again,

I have solved the first problem, there were the embeds options activated.

Still to solve the sidebar width. Thanks

That’s good to hear!

But as I explained, the theme was designed on a column of 1/3 (12), so the sidebars are set widths depending on the screen size. The only way to have a small sidebar is to change the entire site width to the smaller 1020px version.

Cubell

Hello,

Ok thanks anyway.

In wordpress you can use a short description for the website.

I would like it to appear in the header below my logo, is it possible? I cannot find how.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey again,

No worries, sorry I couldn’t be more helpful on that one! And I’m afraid not, the theme doesn’t use that particular WordPress option, the best way (and to keep the layout consistent) is to simply integrate the subtitle under the logo in the actual image file.

Cubell

Hello,

Thanks for your answer the problem is that I use WPML and the short description is different in each home page. Being the logo unique for the entire website I cannot do it.

Another question is there a way to put in the homepage the link of a page instead of a post? I mean I need a page to be displayed in the home page with the same formats available for posts. I am not really good with HTML code.

Thanks for yr help.

Ah I see what you mean, I will look into it and see if I can add an option to load the subtitle under the logo in an upcoming update.

In v2 update there is a new special block in the homepage builder that allows you to set an image + title + link for each tile, with that you can link to anything you want. No HTML code needed! Have you seen it?

Cubell

Hi Cubell,

Many thanks for adding an option in the next updates.

I can see that there is a block called custom links but it is a block of 6 pages and if I put just 1 it does not display well. Any suggestion?

Another thing images in the page header have like a black layer on it, it is possible to remove it?

Thanks in advance

Hey again,

That new module is completely new code/system added to the homepage builder, which is why I started with a grid of 6 to start with, and over time I plan to add other designs/modules for less images, including one for just a single image. So at the moment you will need to use 6, or create your image in the post editor, and then copy/paste the HTML code (click on Text view mode) into a “custom code” module to output only one image.

Can you share a URL of what you mean by the black layer to better understand what you mean?

Cubell

This is the url of my webpage http://www.surfingtheplanet.com/ if you see the images on the slideshow and also the ones on the top are not bright as the other images.

You can better see the “problem” in this page http://www.surfingtheplanet.com/contacto-2/ in which you see that the photo colours are not bright as the original.

This is the reason why I told you that it seems as there is like a black layer on it.

Thanks again

Hey again,

I had a look and you can adjust the grids to be fully visible by going to the Theme Options -> Grids and sliders and adjusting the color overlay transparency option. If you set it to 0, then there will be no overlay.

I plan on adding the same options for sliders in the next update, so stay tuned for that update

Make sure to follow Cubell Themes on Facebook to find out when it comes out quickly.

Hi Cubell,

Thanks again for yr support!
