Hero on Blog Posts - Featured Image is not resized as Displayed on Block Element
7 replies · Started by Fabrizio on December 9, 2021
Hello,
I created a Hero on Blog Posts on my website, following instructions described and shown in your video here
https://youtu.be/yq6VcgU3Ufg
And it works fine. I also made some little changes concerning colors and little things, but I strictly followed your valuable instructions ( I am not a coder). Now in different blog posts such as here

or here
The (featured) images are not centered inside the Block Element I created. They are not the same size. I would like to know if I must set these images as a fixed size or if there is a method to display them centered and automatically resized, so that they are correctly displayed, in the Hero.
Thanks
Hi there,
are you wanting them positioned like in the Video or behind the Content ?
Hi,
I like the picture behind the content, so as it is now, with a transparency, as I have set it, now is 0.7 on 1, that is 70% transparent.
Hi there,
As you can see here, you set the image size to 1040but without a unit, so it's an invalid value, try change it to 1040px.
You can also try other values, such as cover, so it covers the entire block.
Here is the setting we are talking about (also for other people, who read):
I cannot set up the "px" inside the field, for it is already set top right and is not changeable.
Also the field has only the space for 4 characters.
Finally I cannot input other characters than numbers.
I don't know why...

You need to edit the Background settings of the Container.
1. Disable the Advanced Background option first. You can then see the settings below that.
2. The Image Size - select a larger size eg. Medium large or you will display a 150px square cropped image.
3. The Size is incorrect. Delete the 1040 and add cover - this will make the image fill the space available.
Thanks, it works fine now, after I've flushed the cache. Your help is great!
I am very thankful of your help!
Now I have to find a good aspect ratio for all the featured images, but I can work on it and tell then.
Absolutely Landscape format and minimum 1200 x 675 as stated in the Media Library
We can close the case.
Glad we could be of help!!!
