Gallery formatting troubles

    I’m loving Aesop and I’ve been using it for my travel blog for a few months now but there’s 2 things that I find a little frustrating.

    1. I often want to create a gallery with three images, one portrait and two landscape, where it is essentially a square. The portrait one on the left and then the two landscape ones on the right stacked on top of each other so that they are the same combined height as the portrait image. The closest approximation to this is if I use the ‘grid’ layout but that leaves the bottom of the images misaligned and looks very messy. Is there an easy way to do this or would it be possible to implement such a feature?

    2. When a page is initially loaded all images load at full size and only when the page is completely loaded do they snap to their gallery layout. When the internet connection is slow this means users are looking at a very badly formatted blog for quite some time before the formatting catches up. Any suggestions for how to avoid this/ any plans for a future fix.

    Other than this I’m very happy with how everything is working, please keep up the good work!

    1. I also would like to know how to generate this type of landscape & porttrait layout.

    Here’s a great example of it.

    2. Also noticing this bug where the images load large and only after they are loaded they load in to their proper scaled sizes.

    cheers.

    Hi all,

    1. You could use the photoset gallery to place one landscape image on top, one portrait in the middle and one landscape on the bottom, however there is not a particular gallery that has the capability of creating a square from three images: one portrait, two landscape.

    2. If you compress your images for web use, this shouldn’t be happening so much. I use https://tinyjpg.com before upladoing images.

    Let me know if that helps.

    1. Yeah, I’ve been using different pictures/ layouts to get around the issue but it’s a feature I’d love to see

    2. Thanks for the tip, I think my files are fairly large so I’ll try this for my next post
