I went into the css color layout I am using (style-talian.css) and bumped out the max-width for both the uncaptioned (img.size-full) and captioned image (.wp-caption) to 100% (they were at varying values, 97.5%, 96%). Now the images are displaying with normal width.

Under /stallion-seo-theme/colors/ you’ll find the layout CSS files name format layout-***.css where the *** relates to the layout used, layout-310r.css for example is the 310px wide right sidebar layout (like I use on this site).

Within those files you’ll find this CSS code:

.content_all img {
max-width: 660px;
margin: 0 0 24px 0;
}

Each file has a different max-width set, the one above is 660px for the right sidebar layout, the double sidebar layouts has it set at 560px and the no sidebars set at 970px. It’s set to take advantage of the entire content area without loading over the sidebars.

If you remove the code entirely the width of the image will determine if it loads over the sidebars or not. I find it looks unprofessional when images load over the sidebars.

I just started noticing this having recently upgraded to the most current edition of Stallion. This has also retroactively affected old posts and uploads.

I am wondering if there is any property in the latest edition that may be causing this, or perhaps it is coincidental, and external to anything with the theme? Have been searching online for similar issues but having trouble finding anything in the general WordPress ecosystem.

Thanks,

Erik

The new version (Stallion SEO Recent Comments widget) has more options, the gravatar and description, but the link part are identical, a text link to the comment only (no author link, no wasted link benefit).

The gravatar is loaded as a background image using CSS which SEO wise is neutral (invisible to Google), so having a gravtar/not having a gravatar with those two widgets is identical SEO wise. The description can be argued both good and bad SEO wise, depends on the site really, I use it for usability, users seem to like the comment links with description more than just the link, presumably as it gives an indication of what the comment is about so morelikely to be clicked on.

My question is, would using the newer “Stallion SEO” widget give additional SEO benefit, in terms of not wasting link benefit on those comment links? Or does the old “XX Stallion” comments widget do the same, in terms of preserving link benefit?

If it does not do so, I’d like to switch to the “Stallion SEO” comments widget. However I was wondering if there was a way to use it without showing comment excerpts or gravatars (I don’t see any explicit feature in the widget for turning these off).

My reasoning is that I like these recent comment links in a tight compact box (with the excerpts & gravatars, it takes up a lot of sidebar real estate).

However if there is no SEO/link benefit difference between these two, I suppose I’d just stay with the “XX” widget.

Thanks much!

In fact, I have never used Joomla before for blogging. But right now, I just received my other domain and I designed it with Joomla. Of course, it’s tough to do it. I really wonder if I can use your theme with Joomla or not.

Thank you

Again, thank you so much.

I don’t use the post teaser plugin anymore (still a good plugin) because I use the Stallion thumbnail feature and the post teaser and Stallion thumbnail features don’t work well together when posts have images high in the content.
