    Hi,

    Before the Gutenberg WordPress update, my posts were set up upon mouse roll over to click images (lightbox effect?) to view larger, example:

    Color, Curves and Brushstrokes

    Since the big WordPress update, it no longer happens and I am not sure how to activate that? example:

    Notre Dame

    Any idea how to activate this feature?

    Thanks,

    Hey gb,

    Can you give us temporary admin access to your website in the private content box below, so that we can have a closer look?

    Best regards,

    Hi Victoria,

    Ismael is looking into it but I can give you the admin access, as I have been trying to get this resolved for over a week now so any help would be appreciated!

    To clarify my issue: When viewing my posts now there is a small image (with lightbox effect) above the Post title and then below is the image larger but without a lightbox effect. I want the post to look the way it did before which was just one large image below post title with a lightbox effect. I have no idea how it switched to the current set up?

    Hi Victoria,

    I found the spot Ismael was talking about and fixed the primary issue!

    But how do I fix it for all the posts, I have hundreds and the problems seems to exist for all of them?

    Also, I corrected the above title image for this post as well but as you can see it has the lightbox effect:

    Mapping Consciousness

    where as my new posts do not as seen here:

    Notre Dame

    How do I get it so that all my posts have the lightbox effect, like they used to?

    Thanks,

    GB

    PS – the blog post that has the lighbox effect on image was created pre Gutenberg!

    Hi Victoria,

    I have still not resolved the issue, so if you have any ideas that would be great. Essentially, all my posts (almost 800) that I have been adding to my site over the years now have a small review image above the post title. This happened after a recent theme update, not sure which.

    I am looking for a way to remove the small preview image without having to manually edit every single post. There must be a way since it was activated simply because of an update I assume.

    Here is an example if post :

    Hey!

    Thanks for the update.

    Did you modify the header.php file in the child theme? Please get a fresh copy of that file from the latest version of the parent theme and redo the modifications. Don’t forget to enable the “Lightbox Modal Window” option in the Enfold > Theme Options panel.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hey !

    I don’t recollect if I ever modified the header.php file, could you explain where I get a fresh copy ?

    And what are the modifications I need to redo?

    Sorry for my ignorance about this :-)

    Bumping the post due to no response for 3 days.

    BTW – I am running Enfold Ver. 4.5.6 which I installed via FTP (and I deleted the older Enfold folder first as suggested).

    And yes, “Lightbox Modal window” is checked.

    BUT I don’t recollect if I ever modified the header.php file, could you explain where I get a fresh copy ?

    And what are the modifications I need to redo?

    Hi,

    We would like to apologize for the late response.

    We just noticed that you’re using the block or Gutenberg editor for that post. You have to set the image block to open the “Media File”. That can be done by editing the Link Settings > Link to option.

    Best regards,

    Hi Ismael,

    Thanks! that works and I have corrected the relevant posts. For my clarity is The Gutenberg block editor the way to move forward to keep my posts looking the same as they have for the years I have been using Enfold? I just want to make sure I am adding content properly to my site.

    My last issue not yet resolved is that after one of the recent updates, ALL my posts now have a small image version of the post image above the title of the post. That did not exist before. You have shown me how to turn it off for each post but I have almost 800 posts and it has suddenly appeared for all of them. Manually fixing each post would take forever and there must be a way to do it in one shot as it was somehow activated in one shot.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the update.

    You can choose either of the two editors if you don’t want to use the ALB for your posts. It’s your choice, but a lot of users prefer the classic or the old editor. You can adjust the editor in the Enfold > Theme Options panel. Look for the “Select your editor” settings.

    That is the default layout in the single post template. We suggested a css code that can remove that image.

    .small-preview {
    display: none !important;
}

    It’s already added in the Quick CSS field.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hi Ismael,

    Thanks for clarifying the post layout option available in Enfold (and not needing the plugin anymore), I will stick with and return to the classic layout for now.

    I have added the css code to remove the small image above post title and flushed the cache but all my posts still show the image.

    If you go to my masonry view of posts, you can click on any post and see what I am talking about:

    Artwork

    I am hoping there is a way to resolve this and get my aprox 800 posts back to looking the way they used to.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    Thanks for the update.

    The default featured image is already hidden. You’re probably looking on a cached version of the page. Please purge the cache or remove the browser history. We checked the following post. (see private field)

    Hi Ismael,

    Great, Thanks!

    I don’t get it, I am perplexed! I have been clearing cached, removing browser history, checking on mobile, separate browsers, etc… And now it works?

    So strange!

    Anyways, it’s great news!

    Should I therefore remove the shortcake since this is the default set up?
    .small-preview {
    display: none !important;
    }

    Thanks Again,

    Hi,

    Thanks for the update.

    Glad to hear that it’s working on your end now. You should leave that css code there to keep the featured images hidden.

    Best regards,
