How to do visual adjustments on Front Page 4 module and widgets in Atmospher Pro

[Doug]

This is my home page

Arrovox

On the Front Page 4 module (titled Featured Productions), I’d like to make changes to the way each Genesis - Featured Page widget is being displayed.

I’m not sure where to edit this, and am guessing it uses CSS? Here are the visual adjustments I’d like to make:

1 - Increase the size of each widget and it’s image
2 - Add a background color to each widget (white)
3 - Change the background color of the entire Front Page 4 section

Greatly appreciate any input on where to adjust this

You can inspect each element, find the existing CSS rules and modify theme to change the styling.

Thanks. That link was very helpful.

I’ve located the element I’m wanting to change. I want to increase the dimensions of the image class img.entry-image.attachment-page so that it displays a larger thumbnail image.

Example of how the images display in the desktop browser window. Featured Productions font-page-4 section of http://www.arrovox.com
(If I shrink the browser window, the images jump to a much larger. I was looking for window dimension settings, but didn't see that in the HTML or CSS windows.)

I thought I would see an area named img.entry-image.attachment-page in the CSS window, and could then change it's parameters to test my results. However, I’m not seeing anything with that title.

Can you tell me if img.entry-image.attachment-page is the right element, and if so, where to modify it so it increases the display dimensions of the thumbnail for the page’s featured image?

Thanks

You can set the image width and wrap it in a media query.

Add @ before media on the 1st line of this CSS

media only screen and (max-width: 800px) {

    .front-page-4 .featuredpage img {
        width: 100px;
    }

}

Change the 800px and the 100px to suit your own requirements.

.featuredpage is a class used only for the Genesis featured page widget

Thanks, Brad.

I tried adding that code and adjusting the width amounts, but am not seeing any change in results.

I’ve added it to the Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS window, and also to style-front.css doc.

One thing I’ve noticed that’s odd is, when I shrink the browser size down significantly, the thumbnails popup to a large size. A size very close to what I’m trying to get.

I’m curious if that behavior sounds odd to you, and if you could clarify where I need to put the code you posted.

Here are 2 screengrabs, if helpful.

Thanks

Add CSS at the end of your style.css file and clear caching.

Thanks, Brad

Just tried that but it still isn't working. And was sure to clear the cache (using Chrome on a Mac).

Here's a screen of the code in the style.css doc

Here's a snapshot of the front-page-4 section on the homepage at http://www.arrovox.com

Do you see anything I might be doing wrong?
thx

Hey Doug

The CSS rule will not render until the screen width hits 800px because its wrapped in a media query.

Based on my testing, it works. Tested twice.

Otherwise, you can remove the media query

 
.front-page-4 .featuredpage img {
        width: 300px;
    }

Thanks Brad.

I'm still seeing the tiny thumbnails when the screen is larger than 800p.

I had some changes made to the site a few months ago, and perhaps there's a conflict in the code somewhere.

Where did you paste the CSS?

Also note, you can change the image size using the featured page widget settings.

Thanks, Brad.

I pasted the CSS into the style.css doc, at the very bottom. I've since removed it, as I was trying other things. But could put it back.

Regarding the featured page widget settings, yes, that was the first thing I tried, but I wasn't seeing any results that worked. My images are rectangle, so they won't work at the largest, 1200x1200 size. So I went the next largest horizontal size, 728x0. The "0" didn't make any sense to me, but figured maybe it was a way to enable it to scale.

Where I was confused is that the 728x0 didn't make it anywhere close to 728p wide. So thought it wasn't working for some reason.

I also tried removing the "50%" part of this
a.alignleft, a.alignnone, a.alignright {
max-width: 50%;
}

That's working for the desktop, but the mobile images are still tiny. So now I'm trying to sort out why the mobile images are still small, and where to change that.

[Brad Dalton]

You can add a custom image size in functions.php and regenerate thumbnails or upload the featured image to each page again.

add_image_size ( 'front-page-4', 300, 100, TRUE );

Modify the width and height values to anything you like.

I wouldn't modify in CSS unless you have a clear understanding what the modification will do.

You could also write the CSS like this :

.front-page-4 .featured-content .entry-image {
	max-width: none;
	width: 250px;
}

In your case, i suggest you use the widget settings to change the image size.

Thanks, Brad. I would definitely prefer to use the Widget settings, but they don't seem to be working for me. When I select 728x0, which 728w should be more than wide enough, they continue to be tiny thumbnails, and I can't figure out why that doesn't make the thumbnails larger.

Brad

Want to give you an update.

In the style.css, I changed the following from 50% to 100%

a.alignleft,
a.alignnone,
a.alignright {
Max-width: 100%;
}

That seems to have fixed the desktop and mobile versions.

It seems to be working on every browser I test it on, so I think I'm good on this.

Thank you for your help on this. Greatly appreciate it.
