    Hello,

    I’m trying to make my image fit the whole main homepage, and not only that, but have the fade effect on the background like you have it here on the main homepage:

    Here is the screenshot that I took:

    Hi, it is featured image for the homepage. Please edit your homepage, add your picture as a featured image. Add all image size not the thumbnail.
    When uploading your image, you need to set Link Url = File Url Size : Full Size and then click on “Insert Into Post” button.
    Thanks

    Hi Serkan,

    Thank you! This part confused me though: “When uploading your image, you need to set Link Url = File Url Size : Full Size”

    Can you please clarify that? I uploaded the image, clicked on “Set featured image” and clicked the image. It shows now, but there’s a scroll bar now on the website. I’m not sure if what you told me above is what fixes it. If it does, I’m not sure on how to do that.

    Here is the image now: http://i.imgur.com/eY3vI0H.png

    The image size is 318 × 159

    Thank you!

    Hi Sefket24,
    I would recommend you to install and run regenerate thumbnails plugin for once and try it again;

    You image size is too small and it won’t looks clear much. But it is up to you.

    Hi Serkan,

    I installed it and ran it in tools. It regenerated all 10 images but nothing changed. Strange.. =/

    Hi Sefket24,
    I just tested your related url with chrome, safari and firefox. There is not any scroolbar on the right side.
    It is related to your browser. Please update your browser. Also check with another browsers.
    Thanks

    Hi Serkan,

    You’re right – thank you!!

    I have one last thing, but I have no idea if you assist with it. I don’t think you do as you don’t help with customization but it’s really annoying me as I want to get this done lol.

    I’m trying to get my recommendations on the right side of my work history along with making small white boxes like you have it on your preview website. Is there shortcodes or something to make this happen easily?

    That’s all I need help with.

    You can wrap your work history and recommendations with column shortcodes to divide it.
    Example wrap your work history like this;

    [row]
    [column width="7"]
    Work History details
    [/column]
    [column width="5"]
    Recommendations details
    [/column]
    [/row]

    Oh boy, I feel bad lol.

    I just noticed the work history part isn’t balanced with the recommendations. Is it possible to bring down the work history column so it matches with the recommendations on the right side? No idea how I just noticed that, sorry lol.

    Hi Sefket24,
    You can try to use this custom css code;

    #resume .row .col-sm-5 { margin-top: -68px; }

    Thanks
