Well! Hang fire on that previous question — I seem to have found the fix.
(Though it would be interesting to know the id to target… especially since I am targeting multiple page layouts).There is a drop-down selection that only appears on the image attachment page, and only when selecting the background image. What I missed seeing was:
“ATTACHMENT DISPLAY SETTINGS”
This was defaulting to the absurdly small image option, instead of a “cover” value.
In the case of this website, changing that value to “Full size” seems to have fixed everything nicely.
Thanks again for returning my focus to this page and settings.
Cheers!

Hi, Ismael.
You can apply the blue background to the color section directly, then add the hero image using the Image element inside the color section.
Excellent — exactly as I had it. It’s good to know I was on the right track.
You can then pull the image downwards with custom css…
I have done some experiment with custom css, but they have not been satisfactory.
Can you please confirm the class/id handle I should target?
Thanking you.

Hi, Ismael.
I actually didn’t receive a notice that you posted this last note, but thank you — it will be very helpful.
After rebuilding thumbnails for all 1480-odd images the portfolio galleries seem to be displaying correctly!
At a cost: over 3GB of disk space. Wow.
I will carefully audit the image usage, and remove any unused sizes. I suspect that some of the largest sizes especially are redundant.
But that is down the road. It is enough for today that it is working well.
Thanks again for shining light on the system.
All the best to you and yours!

Hi, Ismael.
Thanks again for following up on this. I am gaining a good understanding of this now, and hopefully this adds to the forum’s knowledge as well.
The theme uses the following function to generate other versions or thumbnails of an image. One of the parameters is called “crop”, which tells WordPress to crop or scale the image.
This must occur during the original upload. Is that true? If so, it would explain why my migration skipped the thumbnailing process.
Yes, the theme relies on those thumbnail names. You may need to regenerate the thumbnails or the images if you did something in the database.
I plan to run the “Regenerate Thumbnails” plugin tool on Monday, but I won’t kid you: 17 additional sizes of 1486 images seems like a daunting storage challenge. I am a bit concerned about this. Are all of the sizes necessary — and is there any way to reduce the number of thumbs generated?
If you see any way around these storage concerns, please advise.
Otherwise, I will soldier on.
I will follow here up after I run the Regenerate Thumbnails tool.
Thanks again. Enjoy the weekend!

Ismael,
Thanks again for following-up on this.
“the cropping option for registered thumbnails”
I have no idea what “the cropping option for registered thumbnails” means. Is this a setting or tool that we can apply to the image?
The only image-related plug-in that I have installed is a copy-protection plug-in. To me, that seems unrelated.
A thought: let me share a screenshot from the site’s media library. This is the single result for a filter search based on the name of the original image “Pacifico_42”:
If my memory of the old system serves, the upload tools created three-fold images of the original upload. Am I correct? I think they were named something like this:
- Original_image.png
- Original_image_122x122.png
- Original_image_428x312.png
When I used Enfold’s Export tool to migrate the site to the new server, it recreated only the “Original_image.png” for the new install. (In case it is important, since WordPress seems to use absolute links, I had to mass-change the references in the database using MySQL.)
Are the thumbnail galleries reliant on this “122×122” “428×312” system?
If so, I should be able to (theoretically) develop a batching strategy for correcting this.
Hi, Ismael. Thank you for the response.
Here is my follow-up on your two suggestions:
1.
For the page’s Styling > Grid Settings > Portfolio Grid Image Size setting I have tried both options.
Changing these does not seem to make a difference.2.
For “thumbnail” are you referring to the “featured image”?
In regard to the featured image, I have seen no “cropping” tool.I have also tried to remove, then replace, the featured image. No cropping tool is presented during this replacement process.
Is “cropping” a setting somewhere? I can’t find it in the docs.
Are you maybe suggesting that I crop the thumbnail/featured-image outside of WordPress/Enfold?
Thank you, and best regards.

I just went through the changelogs from v 4.2.2 to present, and I can’t really see anything salient that might be a contributor to this.
I do see the following changes. Could one of these be related? :
4.7.5 – fixed: CSS problem with equal height after individual height columns forming a grid
4.7.6 – fixed: Gridrow CSS with fixed height and mobile break point
4.5.7 – added: option to use custom percent value for height in Color Section and GridRow elements
If you can point me to the affected CSS selectors, I can follow up. I’d rather not use a “hack”; but desperate times…
Thanks again.
