After newest update blog photos look weird

Adding on…now that I am scrolling thru the blog pages, all the “main” photos seem to be out of focus.

I am using the checkerboard blog layout, and before this last update, the images were sharp and clear.

Do I need to change to another layout?

Thanks.

Hi Artem –

I haven’t changed anything!

This image problem showed after I just did the most recent Woodmart update.

I don’t really want to increase image sizes. I upload images 700 x 700, for my products, and they were working fine, in the blog posts, until this update.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Hi Artem –

Unfortunately, changing the image size in the media area, doesn’t change the large size on the “outside” blog images.

I believe those image sizes are set by the theme, and they are way too large.

The images that I upload are 350 x 350 for the blog posts (older posts are 250x 250). Therefore, I would like the image size on the main blog pages to be 350 x 350 and not 450 x 450 or 470 x 470, as they are showing now.

I uploaded one 450 x 450 image to test it (the Balmain bag), and that is WAY too huge of a size, for the inside blog posts. It’s big enough for the main blog page, but there is no need to show that large of an image, within the post.

Do you have any code that can change the size of the blog images (on the main blog page), for that chess pattern layout? I don’t see any way to change the images size, from within your theme.

Thanks.

Hello – I am back with screenshots!

Your theme DOES influence blog images. I went and looked at your demo site and it is resizing 1024 w images down to 447 w. This is what is happening with my smaller images. Instead of showing at the “media settings” of 350, the Theme is forcing the images to “upsize” to fit a 447 x 447 area. You can see this in the screen shots.

We haven’t entered any CSS code or style sheet to change any of this. The image sizing is present in your theme. It is happening on my theme, and it is also happening on your demo theme.

I did regenerate the thumbnails, using the plug in you mentioned above, and it didn’t change anything.

Your blog layouts “require” images, of a certain size, which is what is causing the problem.

I need the main blog images to be 350 x 350, which should work for my smaller images as well.

Thanks.

Adding another photo –

The blog section, on the home page, is also upsizing images and they look blurry.

Screen shot attached.

PS – None of these images were blurry like this, prior to the last update. I wouldn’t have let the site go live, if it looked this bad.

Thanks. That worked.
