Media handling and image options

• Image sizes with predefined and custom dimensions
• All of the layouts provide options to change your image dimensions. You can choose one of the common image ratios like 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 or set your own and make your images look their best.

• If you prefer to use different sidebars on different posts and pages, it’s totally possible. Left sidebar, right sidebar and fixed sidebar options are provided. You can also define a sticky widgetized area for each sidebar, so widgets that are put inside will always be visible while visitors scroll through your website.
