I’d like to change the dimensions of the “preview” images in the gallery so that they are tall rectangles, more closely matching a book cover. I didn’t want to go mucking around in the code but if you are willing to point me in the right direction I’m comfortable changing what I need to. Again thanks for such a beautiful theme.

Thanks for writing and for your kind words. There’s a way that you can manually change the image dimensions on the code. You need to look for the function nice_image();

If you’re familiar with programming you’ll realize that is an easy task. You need to change, on the file index.php, the parameters width and height to the dimensions you need for the nice_image() function.

Best,
Juan

Have a nice day,

<a href="”>

<img src="/images/waves.png” width=”200″ height=”300″ />

That is the way the section looks now but it hasn’t changed on the home page. Could it have anything to do with the fixed width? Could it have anything to do with the fact that I am using a child theme? Sorry if this sounds stupid I’m new to WP and the learning curve is kinda killing me. I even tried sticking that section of code in the custom CSS panel on the child site. No luck. Suggestions? Is there someplace else I need to change. If you want to see the site it is http://www.lcgiroux.com
Thanks again!
Lisette

Thanks for writing. No, actually you need to change the parameters for the nice_image() function.

If you check the file index.php (open in over any text editor) you’ll see a line with the following content:

nice_image( 'echo=false&key=portfolio-image&width=205&height=140' )

You’ll need to change the parameters width and height. Something like this:

nice_image( 'echo=false&key=portfolio-image&width=305&height=240' )

Have in mind that this template also uses css to style the home page grid that display the portfolio. So you’ll also need to work in this classes:

#content ul#portfolio-grid li
#content ul#portfolio-grid img

Best,
Juan.

Changing the css did the trick! I’m so happy with it now. Gorgeous!

I’m happy to hear that 🙂

Yes, actually for this case, the CSS rule has “the last word” because it’s styling the img element.

Best,
Juan.
