    Rokstories - Image Not Displaying Properly

    Posted 11 years 6 months ago
    • Hi everyone:

      I've tried everything I can think of to get the images in the RokStories showcase on the home page show up properly, but they are misaligned.

      I'm not sure if it is an issue of not having the images be the right size (dimension wise) or if my changing the source for the showcase background is the issue. In any case, I'm hoping there is a quick fix to make this work that I'm just not able to see at the moment.

      That said, how can I get the image to show up as it is suppose to - in the photo frame of the showcase?

      Thanks!

    • Thank you Shazdeh, but I don't understand.

      When I compare both my image and the one from the demo site, each is 960x359.

      Can you be more specific?

    • The image frame (the black box with yellow[ish?] border) in the background image is smaller. You can see that by opening both images in the browser and switching tabs :cheesy: . In the original image from the demo site, this frame is slightly bigger and that's what causing the RokStories to appear misaligned.

    • Oh, now I get what you mean. I'm going to try adjusting that right now. Keep your fingers crossed!

    • Rats! That didn't work at all. Any other suggestions?

      I have even tried playing with the settings in the Rokstories widget - no difference...

    • Try the attached image file. I resized that frame so it aligns with the image file from the demo site. It should work just fine.

    • ACTUALLY - please note that many of us had this problem - so I looked into it more...

      Go to wp-admin

      Appearance

      Widgets

      On top Left look for drop down - mine was initially showing "Default Settings" - it has a gear icon.
      Select "FrontPage"

      This loads the frontpage variations - you will notice that the RokStories widget appears in the "Showcase" section... open this - you will notice a lot of fun options to play with...

      Scroll down to the "Image Dimensions"

      This was apparently set to 300 x 200 by default (I used the RocketLauncher - as many of you did too!)

      I changed this setting to the template size required...

      Change to 342 x 227

      DONT FORGET TO SAVE this at the bottom

      Then open another window and see that the site is fixed!

      Hope that helps you all - it worked great for me.

      I also note that there is an automatic image resize happening and several images are created on the fly - still need to work on that one.. but this worked for me.
