Hi this is a awesome theme,
But here is some issues. In the portfolio overlay section, the the thumbnail image it uses is 400×300 which is great. See this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/9RN3A5T.jpg This is Great and fine. No problem with this.
But for the blog thumbnails they fetched as 720×540 and then reduced by using css. Its a lot of reduction happening in the front end. Take a look in this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/Z8Hu2IU.jpg
This is needed to be fetched as 400×300 like the portfolio feature image. But as it fetch 720 and then reduce that to 400, a lot of data is being fetched unnecessarily increasing the page size and load time.
I’ve looked into the code to make the blog tile feature image to 400, but didnt find the place where to change the code. Please fix this in the theme and make it even more awesome and fast. This thing might looks very small, but this is a huge thing in terms of SEO.

Solution – change needed in functions.php file
Update this function values in the next update.

if ( function_exists( ‘add_image_size’ ) )
{
add_image_size( ‘admin_feat_img’, 150 );

add_image_size( ‘blog_feat_img’, 720); //In no circumstance (in any screen size) you need 1300 width as per your theme design. Change 1300 to 720

add_image_size( ‘latest_posts_widget_feat_img’, 400); //720 is not needed either. Change it to 400

add_image_size( ‘portfolio_widget_feat_img_1x’, 400 );
add_image_size( ‘portfolio_widget_feat_img_2x’, 800 );
}

If you are reading this message please put a reply. I found the issue and I solved it. You people please update it into the next upadate.

Hi,
I just recieved the update notification of the theme, but no changelog was there to understand whats been updated also I’ve checked the functions.php and the image sized has not been reduced, instead they have been increased.

See this :

The fix I provided:

if ( function_exists( ‘add_image_size’ ) )
{
add_image_size( ‘admin_feat_img’, 150 );
add_image_size( ‘blog_feat_img’, 720);
add_image_size( ‘latest_posts_widget_feat_img’, 400);
add_image_size( ‘portfolio_widget_feat_img_1x’, 400 );
add_image_size( ‘portfolio_widget_feat_img_2x’, 800 );
}

and what is present in the latest functions.php is ->

if ( function_exists( ‘add_image_size’ ) )
{
//admin_feat_img is gone, not present in the theme
add_image_size( ‘blog_feat_img’, 1300 ); //still using 1300 as I said 720 is enough for the theme design
add_image_size( ‘latest_posts_widget_feat_img’, 720 ); // still at 720, needs to be 400
add_image_size( ‘portfolio_widget_feat_img_1x’, 600 ); // increased to 600 from 400
add_image_size( ‘portfolio_widget_feat_img_2x’, 900 ); // increased to 900 from 800
}

I dont understand. Maybe you guys haven’t made this changes in the update which I got notification of. I’m waiting for your reply before updating it.

It is important for the retina screens.

Hi Sali,
I do understand the reason, you didn’t do it. But I’m asking you that if I just copy paste this following code in my child theme functions.php as ->

if ( function_exists( ‘add_image_size’ ) )
{
add_image_size( ‘admin_feat_img’, 150 );
add_image_size( ‘blog_feat_img’, 720);
add_image_size( ‘latest_posts_widget_feat_img’, 400);
add_image_size( ‘portfolio_widget_feat_img_1x’, 400 );
add_image_size( ‘portfolio_widget_feat_img_2x’, 800 );
}

Now will this overwrite the themes default value ? Also due to having good amount of traffic on my site I want to give my users the fastest possible experience. I do understand that this high images are very necessary in Apple Retina display but general user (hardly use mac) will never see the difference by themselves instead extra loading time. That is why I’ve decided to go with WP Retina 2x [Plugin] which will provide Retina images only when they needed, otherwise these image size are enough for normal user. So, if you please tell me how can I overwrite the values of the above function in my child theme functions.php I can actually initiate the update.

Please reply.

[Mehmet S.]

You can try it.

[isaumya]

So, you are saying that just putting
if ( function_exists( ‘add_image_size’ ) )
{
add_image_size( ‘admin_feat_img’, 150 );
add_image_size( ‘blog_feat_img’, 720);
add_image_size( ‘latest_posts_widget_feat_img’, 400);
add_image_size( ‘portfolio_widget_feat_img_1x’, 400 );
add_image_size( ‘portfolio_widget_feat_img_2x’, 800 );
}

in my own functions.php is enough to achieve the overwrite?

[Mehmet S.]

Yes, it is.

[isaumya]

Thank you very much Sali. I’m really grateful to you.

[Mehmet S.]

You are welcome.

[isaumya]

Also anything on the portfolio blank page thing?

Hi, man, none of them is actually working, no matter what I do the values are not getting overwritten. I’ve also tried everything mention in the following post. None of them works. Its still taking the part theme values.

Starting with this:

http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/74934/remove-or-update-add-image-size,

http://www.studiograsshopper.ch/code-snippets/remove-wordpress-defaultmedia-image-sizes/

I even tried to achieve it by doing this

update_option( ‘blog_feat_img’, 720 );
but no matter what I do the theme is still loading my parent theme’s add_image_size() values.

I’ve also written this following function to achieve this –

function img_update() {
add_image_size( ‘blog_feat_img’, 720 );
add_image_size( ‘latest_posts_widget_feat_img’, 400 );
add_image_size( ‘portfolio_widget_feat_img_1x’, 400 );
add_image_size( ‘portfolio_widget_feat_img_2x’, 800 );
}
add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘img_update’, 11 );
None of these is actually working. Any suggestions?

[isaumya]

Anyways I got it.

[Mehmet S.]

Ok. Good luck.
