1) I am using the blog page as my front page. I would like to add to the Menu a "blog" button that would lead back to the front page. How do I do that?
2) I would like to have an "about" page which would open one specific blog post. Is that possible?
3) When I create Post slider image gallery, the images on the front page of the blog are not adjusted to the size of the post element. They cut off some parts of the picture. Any way to change that?
This is the blog page so if you want to can tick Use proportional thumbnail height to get the proportional thumbnail height, because inside the post it shows fine just on the blog it will be shown as cropped.
That section is already ticked. As you can see on other posts on the front page the pictures are proportional, but not in the post that has slider image gallery for some reason. There only some of the pictures are proportional.

Hi Catherine,
1. Go to Appearance > Menus and you can select from the pages on the left or create a Custom Link and name it how you want, and link where you want.
2. You can have an About page by building it as a page, instead of a post.
3. Can you post the link where I can see this live?
Best regards,
Laborator Team
Hey Art,
Thanks for the quick replies, I managed to add both about and home page.
As for question no.3, you can see it on the bottom of my blog's front page :http://techstyleberlin.com/
It's named "Image Gallery post", if you flip through it, some of the pictures are not proportional (see screen shots attached).
Thanks,
Catherine

Hi Catherine,
The fix is to add the following code in functions.php file:
But there seems to be a problem with it, can you please provide us your FTP credentials.
Best regards,
Laborator Team
Hi Catherine,
Yes this is what we need but we also need the password of your FTP, it is missing in the credentials above.
Best regards,
Laborator Team
Hi Catherine,
Can you please re-check them as I am having difficulties logging into your FTP, these credentials aren't working.
Best regards,
Laborator Team
Hey Art,
I just switched the password so maybe it takes a few minutes to sync.
Can you try again in 10 minutes? If it doesn't work, tell me and I will switch the password again.
I cant access my password immediately (see screen shot), hence I have to switch it each time.
Hi Catherine,
I managed to fix it, you can check and see that it's showing fine now.
Best regards,
Laborator Team
awesome, thanks Art!
You're welcome Catherine :)
Best regards,
