 * I love, love, love this theme.
 * But a couple of problems/issues:
    1. The featured image is never larger than 
   640×200, no matter how large the featured image is and doesn’t seem to center
   as in the demo. Example: [https://exitpursuedbyabear.net/2015/10/to-handle-roughly/](https://exitpursuedbyabear.net/2015/10/to-handle-roughly/)(
   The image itself is 600×600)
 * 2. The bottom sidebar tends to smush to right side and breaks up the bottom side
   bars. See: [https://exitpursuedbyabear.net/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-2015-10-08-19.44.02.png](https://exitpursuedbyabear.net/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-2015-10-08-19.44.02.png)(
   That’s at full width.)
 * 3. Anyway to ditch the author box? See: [https://exitpursuedbyabear.net/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-2015-10-08-19.45.59.png](https://exitpursuedbyabear.net/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-2015-10-08-19.45.59.png)
 * Please and thank you. 🙂

 * Greetings…
    Regarding the featured image, the size you are seeing is one that
   is (as my guess is) generated from your Settings >> Media Settings. Each time
   you upload an image, your WordPress is generating thumbnails and then using the
   default size for the featured image. Do you have your settings filled with specific
   dimensions?
 * For your second issue, I see I have a goof up mistake that I will have to correct
   in the next update (which I will need to do right away). In the meantime, you
   can do some custom CSS. Unless you already have a plugin installed for creating
   custom CSS, install Simple Custom CSS and then add this:
 *     ```
       #bottom-sidebar {
           display: block;
           clear: both;
       }
       ```
   
 * The author bio will only show if there is more than one author for your blog/
   site, but if you want to hide it, you can add this CSS to your custom CSS as 
   well:
 *     ```
       .author-info {
           display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * Thank you for pointing out these issues, because I also noticed another bug where
   the blog navigation “Next” button has its “t” falling out of the round container.
   I did not take in account that some blogs will have hundreds of pages (I noticed
   you have many).
 * So I will take the above and work on a new theme update.

 * “Do you have your settings filled with specific dimensions?”
 * The thumbnail was 150×150 and I changed it to 1000×1000. [https://exitpursuedbyabear.net/?attachment_id=16939](https://exitpursuedbyabear.net/?attachment_id=16939).
 * Problem is still happening:
    [https://exitpursuedbyabear.net/?p=16893&preview=true&preview_id=16893&preview_nonce=0075418b36&post_format=standard](https://exitpursuedbyabear.net/?p=16893&preview=true&preview_id=16893&preview_nonce=0075418b36&post_format=standard)
 * I’ve combed through all settings and there is nothing with the 640×200 anywhere.
 * The bottom sidebar now works but is now on the same line as the copyright, fyi.
 * Oh. Dur. Forgot that I had a second author on the site (who helps me with the
   backend and doesn’t write anything). The .author-info worked.
 * Thank you so much! (And for the quick response!)

 * Something is generating your thumbnails because your featured image is named 
   with a size suffix of 640×200:
 * jeepdied-640×200.jpg
 * Perhaps an image or gallery plugin? Something is generating thumbnails in your
   site.
 * I’ve always recommend to clear out the media settings and make them all zero (
   0). Then, for any images, and providing it’s possible for the site owner, create
   their image thumbnails as needed and to the sizes (including any cropping). This
   gives you a lot more control with additional benefits. I made a note a while 
   back in time to write a blog article about WP and its media settings (the pro’s
   and cons’s) but never got around to it, although I think this is something I 
   should getting written soon.
 * For the copyright line, add this to your custom CSS (another fix for the next
   update)
 *     ```
       #colophon {
           clear: both;
       }
       ```

 * Forgot to mention about your image not centering like the demo shows…the demo
   has a setting to align your blog home content left or centered. If you want your
   content, including the image to center, then go to Appearance >> Customize >>
   Blog Options >> Blog Home Alignment.
 * If you still want your blog home to be aligned left but your featured image to
   center, then add this CSS:
 *     ```
       .home .wp-post-image {
           margin: auto;
       }
       ```

 * Okay, could not find what was causing the 640×200 cropping, so I downloaded AJAX
   Thumbnail Rebuild and ran that which seemed to clear whatever was causing the
   640×200 issue, then using the app, rebuilt all the images to 640×480. This seemed
   to work.
 * I also added the following:
 * .single .wp-post-image {
    margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 
   20px; margin-bottom: 20px; } To center the images on the single posts.
 * THANK YOU! 🙂

 * You’re very welcome…I’m also glad to hear you were able to regenerate thumbnails,
   which is sometimes needed for WP users.
 * Anyway, I also want to say thank you for letting me know about the theme issues
   you had. I will apply the fixes to the next theme update which I will get uploaded
   before this week is done.
 * Cheers!

 * Hi!
 * I would like the featured image to be centered on blog posts, but the text left
   aligned. I saw the CSS to add, but I’m not sure where to add it? (I’m not familiar
   with CSS).
 * Also, with the featured image on the “blog style: short:”
    How can I get the 
   featured image to use the thumbnail version? I am using square thumbnails, but
   it looks like the featured images are just being scaled down from the original
   size.
 * Thanks for your help! Love the theme. I look forward to the new update.

 * [@gowithvo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gowithvo/) The moderators will
   probably catch this, but it’s best to repost your issue as a new topic because
   this one is set as “Resolved”.
 * If I can get you to start a new topic for yours, I Will be happy to help you 
   out. Thanks by the way for the theme comment!
