What size should the featured image be to work best in blogpedia? Some of my photos are getting really distorted when I put them in as a featured image.
It depends where you want to use it ..
720×400 is the default one .
But if you want to use 810×550 it’s ok too.
Featured Image in
1. slider : 810×550
2. index and blog : 720×400
3. top feature : 270×160
thank you
Thank you. The area I’m specifically curious about is in the blog post writing area. To the right where you can add a “featured image”. Just want to verify what size that image should be.
On the magazine template, my featured image photos seem to be distorted based on the size of the open window. Any help on how to remedy that?
Because i don’t know the image which you mean. My assumption is Header Slider . Just try this From Customize -> Additional CSS . Put this code :
.owl-carousel .owl-item img {
height:auto;
}
.bped-main-slider__content {
padding-top:25%;
}
If that not which you mean , perhaps you can edit php file /template-parts/block/main-slider.php
the_post_thumbnail( 'blogpedia-image-biggest');
to become
the_post_thumbnail( 'full');
Just do trial and error . Both css and php file.
Just use child theme to make changes https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
The photos that are getting distorted are as I scroll down the page, especially on a mobile phone.

I tried to insert this and it turned my text green. i am not very good with code. Please help me. i would just like to have the text black instead of gray.
Actually you need to modify #00FF00 with #000000 (#XXXXXX is color symbol where X = 0..F)
You can see color symbol here : https://www.webfx.com/web-design/color-picker/
Just modify color: #XXXXXX; code from above comment
Here is perhaps which you want
