In your demos there is a nice header with multiple videos but I can only have one background image. Our website is here: http://evanandkatelyn.com/
How do we add the custom header?
Thanks!
Turns out the answer was to turn off the header and use the WPBakery Page Builder fully instead. This video of yours helped just in case anyone else needs this answered:
Hello evanandkatelyn,
your website looks very nice! Congrats!
I see you’ve just resolved your issue by yourself. Nice!
If you need more support feel free to ask me.All the best,
AndreaThanks Andrea! Yeah it’s really coming together. The main thing we’re struggling with now is that the images being used for the post grid seem to be of low resolution. We’re using the video template. The images are originally high resolution, but the post grid seems to pull a low resolution thumbnail. There any way we can improve the quality?
Hello!
Post grid pulls a low-resolution thumbnail by default because there could be lots of thumbs to load affecting the overall performance of the website.
By the way, it’s a quite simple fix: I’ll talk with the developers so we can decide to implement this setting in Post Grid shortcode in next theme’s update (few days) or I’ll suggest you where to edit in the code.I’ll keep you posted,
Andrea

Great, thanks so much! Just left y’all a review *****
Hello Evan and Katelyn, I’m Igor, the developer, nice to meet you :).
I love the style of your channels and I’m now going to give you not only the solution but also a general guideline useful for further small changes like this.As you probably already noticed, the template files of the theme are divided in 2 levels:
Tier 1: the main single pages and archive pages, in the root of theme directory
Tier 2: the smaller template parts, loaded by the first ones, which are all in the folder /phpincludes.You will find the name of the demplates kind of descriptive about their features.
As general idea, you can override main tempalte files or the included template parts by placing a copy of the file in the child theme folder.
If you want to override a file in the /phpincludes folder, you have to create a /popincludes folrer in vlogger-child.In this way, you can customize your template parts, like I’m going to explain below, and place it in vlogger-child/phpincludes, in this way the custom file will be safe while updating the theme.
THE IMAGE SIZE:
Regarding this, you can customize it by editing each one of the template parts you want to use, by looking for a function called “the_post_thumbnail_url” inside of each template file.As theme trick, you can know the name of the template file by checking the class of the elements, to make it easier if you want to edit any detail:
In your case, please edit
vlogger/phpincludes/part-archive-item-video.php
and replace this
the_post_thumbnail_url( 'medium' );
with this
the_post_thumbnail_url( 'large' );
Then please remember to save a copy in the child theme /phpincludes subdir.
— a note about the size —
Actually “medium” is the default to save performance, as my collegue explained, in case of large grids of items. Please remember that setting all the templates on large may result in a slower page loading time, so I’d recommend doing it only where it’s needed 😉
Thank very much for your time, I hope that my explanation was clear enough otherwise please let me know.
Looking forward for your feedback 😉
And thanks for the rating too!Regards
IgorPS. Sorry for the late reply, we just had a baby 3 days ago, so these days I don’t have so much time to spend at the computer. Sorry for this, usually we provide a much faster support 😀
