Thank you. Will the changes that you made to the parent theme files be carried over into theme updates?

Hello, thank you for offering to fix this as it is crucial. In addition to fixing the layouts for Modern and Fullscreen – Can you also fix it so that the default Blog Post Style for newly created posts is either the default one selected at the theme level or make it Normal? I have Normal selected at Specular > Blog Config > Post Style but when I create a new blog post it keeps defaulting to Modern for some reason. This is also very important since when I upload new posts it is defaulting to Modern as well.

Also, please do not install and turn on the Codeless Starter Sites plugin. It was causing a major conflict where it was making both the backend and frontend of the site load very very slow. If you want to test – install it and activate it and you will see the issue with the load times both in the backend and the frontend.

***IMPORTANT***
Lastly, whatever fixes and changes you make can you please list them out for me so that I can keep track of them? I want to make sure that we don’t lose any of them if/when there is a theme update. I have made a backup of the site and database.

The issue here was actually the 825×340 blog post image that your theme registers for WP to create. This is a custom image size that also crops the original image when it is uploaded. This is 100% caused by the theme. When I turned that custom size off so that it is not generated when an image is uploaded that fixed the problem and now blog posts render the original image that’s uploaded.

Regenerating thumbnails wouldn’t help in this instance since your theme registers for that custom size to be generated and it crops the image. It’s also what the theme looks for and uses for blog post featured images if it finds it.

Not sure how you don’t know this since you guys are the theme authors.

Hello,

Do you know when that next theme update will be released? Is there any chance that it can be fixed on my instance while the release happens?

Hello,

I downgraded to 7.4 and I still have the issue.
