Do not crop the article image

  • System scales article thumbnails automatically to a 16:9 aspect ratio.
  • If the article includes an image with a different aspect ratio, you can preserve the original aspect ratio in article thumbnails by checking the "Do not crop the article image"
  • option in the settings. Next to it is an example of article thumbnails where the original image aspect ratio has been preserved.

"Hide Read More button"

In article features, it is possible to hide the "Read More" link button.

  • To edit the desired article element, click on the pencil icon on top of the element.
  • Check the box "Hide 'Read More' button" in the article settings.
  • Click the "Save" button.
  • Publish the article as usual.
  • The "Read More" button is now hidden.

"Open article in a new tab"

  • In some situations, it's beneficial for the article feature to open in a new tab.
  • This function should be used, for example, when the link directs to another website (a subpage of your own company or completely to another operator's site). This way, visitors won't lose the page they are currently on.
  • Check the box "Open article in a new tab" in the article settings.
  • Click the "Save" button and publish the article as usual.

"Show pre-published preview"

It is possible to set article features to preview and schedule content opening.

Website visitors will see only a preview icon of the article, and the actual content opens for viewing at a predetermined time.


"Article feature layout"

Article features can be arranged on the page in different ways. Test which one suits your needs best!

  • Choose the layout style from the dropdown menu
  • Click "Save"
  • Publish / save the article as usual.


Full-width = the image spans the entire width of the page

Text on image = The article title appears on top of the article image

Image on the left = The article image is on the left, with the title and excerpt on the right

No image = Only the title and excerpt of the article feature are displayed

No excerpt, title above = The title appears above the article feature, and the excerpt is omitted

No image, no excerpt = Only the title of the article feature is displayed


​​​​​​​"Content"

The "Content" section allows you to specify whether you want to manually select articles (choosing the specific article you want from all articles available) or automatically feature articles on the homepage based on a specific category (e.g., news or current affairs).
