AutoFocus’ prominent single post featured images, which when set manually are placed front and center, above your post’s title and content. The maximum width of single post featured images is 800.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options
If you don’t see the Featured Image module on your Add New or Edit Post page, please make sure you’ve selected Featured Image in your Screen Options.

AutoFocus responds to not only single image posts but also full galleries. If you would prefer to forego a large featured image above your post content and instead showcase an entire set of photos then simply insert a gallery into your post without manually setting a featured image.

Main page and archive pages on Autofocus don't rely on featured images. Featured images have to be set manually to each post. Each post on the main page and on category/archive pages will display a regularly inserted image (provided the image had been uploaded via the Add Media button of that post).

The only difference is when you view a single complete post: regular image shows below the post title, max width 590px, featured image shows above the post title, max width 800px.

Even though I don't want a post or news page, I tried it thinking it might be the solution to my problem. The news page looks now like a mosaic, the gallery is full width but tumbnails are not adjustable, and there is dates which I don't want on my home page.

If I simply add a gallery in mosaic on my home page, I have the result I want but not with the full width of the web site.

Is there a way for me to get a full width mosaic on my static home page, which I could link every picture to a single page ?

Thank you !!!!

Again, if I'm just not doing it right, please someone let me know! I've tried it soo many ways, and short or reorganizing pictures til they kind of do what I want, I can't figure it out.

not surprisingly, it worked! :)

Thanks again: I really appreciate your recurring help :) Cheers!

Another thing I found is that the CSS3 spec states that,"in terms of stacking contexts and the painting order, the outer shadows of an element are drawn immediately below the background of that element, and the inner shadows of an element are drawn immediately above the background of that element (below the borders and border image, if any)." Source: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#the-box-shadow

I interpret the spec as saying the background element will override the outer shadows (i.e. box-shadow). It looks like some browsers interpret the spec differently than others (which is why it varies by browser). Try adding "background: inherit !important;" to the first block currently saved in your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor to see if that helps your specific case.

I checked with Chrome 24 on Mac OS X. What browser are you using?

On a side note, tough, I'm having problems with the "standalone" images of old: some present a strange rollover effect that removes the dropshadow when I rollover, some don't, and I can't understand why... Removed formatting, redid it, but they still behave differently

It's quite noticeable in http://tiagodovale.com/urbanismo/ for instance
Any ideias?

Thank you :) for your patience and for taking my abuse

The class names for a tiled gallery are a little different. Try adding ".tiled-gallery" to the front of your first two selectors and use ".tiled-gallery-item" in the middle of the third one. Here is a modified version of your example to illustrate:

.tiled-gallery img[class*=align],
.tiled-gallery img[class*=wp-image-],
#content .tiled-gallery-item img {
	border: 1px solid #dddddd;
	-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 3px #aaaaaa;
	-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 3px #aaaaaa;
	box-shadow: 0 0 3px #aaaaaa;
	padding: 0;
}

I use the dropshadow on all the images and galleries: you can see it on the front page of my blog: http://tiagodovale.com

The code is used is this one:
img[class*=align],img[class*=wp-image-],#content .gallery .gallery-icon img {<br /> border: 1px solid #dddddd;<br /> -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 3px #aaaaaa;<br /> -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 3px #aaaaaa;<br /> box-shadow: 0 0 3px #aaaaaa;<br /> padding: 0;<br /> }

What do you think?
Thank you :)

I applyed some small effects to my linked images (a small dropshadow) an this worked for both galleries and single images.

The problem is that when I choose to display "tiled galleries" from the options>media these don't render with dropbox or rollover effects...

Any ideias?

Thanks a bunch again!!

@kathrynwp-Thanks for moving the newer thread and hoping it gets Staff attention soon. I do feel it is such a shame that there isn't consistency across themes when using Gallery types. Users shouldn't have to change themes to get these to work. Just my inflated 2¢ worth.

For example, here is one:

http://livinginlimericks.wordpress.com/2012/12/13/moments-in-cork/

That gallery looks quite lovely to me! Is there something about it that doesn't look like what you'd expect? As justjennifer said, the reason the gallery isn't taking up the full width of the page is that the Twenty Ten theme displays posts in a two-column layout, with the right column currently containing the search box, Archives, and Meta.

If you want your gallery to take up the full width of the page you could look for a different a theme that displays posts in a full-width layout, instead of a two-column layout.

justjennifer - I've moved the newer post you referenced into the Themes forum. (The older one is already closed because of its age.)

Here is an article about image optimization:

As for the large photo at the end of that gallery, try changing its position so a landscape image (a picture that is wider than it is tall) is the last one. It will cause the gallery to rearrange itself, possibly to a more attractive design.

However, for any Staff that may return to this thread, there is still a problem with flexible and responsive width themes and the new Gallery types. Would really appreciate some Theme Team input
