Hello!

I am having issues getting the images in the “Recent Posts” element to display the way I’d like. I would like to have the images focused on the “center top”, instead of the “center”.

The end result I would like would be to have the “center-top” part of the image touching the “center-top” part of it’s container.

Could you help? I will reply privately with the URL.

Thanks again for everything.

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! The images were being cropped and this is why it is not showing properly even if we apply this custom css:

.x-recent-posts .x-recent-posts-img {
    background-position: top center !important;
    background-size: 100% auto;
}

To change the cropped image to full width, please insert this following code in your child theme’s functions.php file.

// =============================================================================
// Customized Recent Post image and change it to full image size
// =============================================================================

function custom_recent_posts_images( $atts ) {
  extract( shortcode_atts( array(

Hope this helps.
