Image not loading when list=true

Hey, I second this request to enable images in the list view. Just because it’s a stacked list of posts, instead of a carousel, doesn’t mean we hate images. 🙂

Also, didja know that carousels lower click-throughs in most cases? Carousels/sliders look cool but a number of A/B tests have shown that most people don’t click through to anything that’s not showing on the first slide of the carousel, which means that a lot of content gets ignored.

Conversionxl.com calls carousels “conversion killers” — https://conversionxl.com/dont-use-automatic-image-sliders-or-carousels-ignore-the-fad/

VWO, another testing firm, points to a a usability study by Neilson Norman group that confirmed that carousels annoy users and reduce visibility — https://vwo.com/blog/image-slider-alternatives/

Anyway, I think your plugin is awesome! Thanks for making it available. If you would enable images in the list view, that would be excellent of you.

Thanks,
Joe

Thanks for considering it!

@acekyd, you’re awesome — this improvement is great!

Completely optional — may I suggest that you change “width” to “max-width” in the default CSS, to make sure that smaller-width images have the correct dimensions by default?

(I can fix this in my own custom CSS, but this might help non-developers.)

Here’s the current problem — this is what smaller-width images look like with the current CSS:

And here’s the fix — what smaller-width images look like with max-width:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6kneda618ltlv0b/display_medium_posts-image-width-100-percent-issue-fixed-max-width.png?dl=0

In other words, change this CSS:

#display-medium-owl-demo img {
    width: 100%;

to this:

#display-medium-owl-demo img {
    max-width: 100%;

…

Anyway, I’m all set for now. Just a suggestion that might help other people who use your plugin.

Thanks again for adding images — it make your plugin so helpful, and YOU ARE AWESOME for adding this feature.
