Setting the thumbnail to “medium 300×300” actually shows the problem more clearly.

Thank you Victoria. The post says I cannot use them in the slider. It’s ok. But can I use them in the other ways posts are recalled in the theme?
I mean, if I want to show them on the home page like a thumbnail gallery or list, how am I supposed to do that?

Thanks a lot
Simone

Update: i changed the leadership page to have a “square 180×180” thumbnail size and it suddenly began to have square thumbnails and respond to the quick CSS on padding. (See below for exactly which code). However, the other page with the exact same set up has not changed and still displays same problem of “squished” top rows. Really at a loss as to what is causing the change or the problem.

Pad code:
.grid-entry.flex_column {
padding: 30px;
}

Hi Ismael,
I have done that, it does not help.

To clarify: In loop-index.php I have

$current_post['title']   	= get_the_title();
	$current_post['content'] 	= $blog_content == "content" ? get_the_content(__('Read more','avia_framework').'<span class="more-link-arrow"></span>') : get_the_excerpt();
	$current_post['content'] 	= $blog_content == "excerpt_read_more" ? $current_post['content'].'<div class="read-more-link"><a href="'.get_permalink().'" class="more-link">'.__('[....]','avia_framework').'<span class="more-link-arrow"></span></a></div>' : $current_post['content'];
	$current_post['before_content'] = "";

which makes the second link [….] correct. I have searched for the first […] in theme php files, but did not find it.

An in den de_DE.mo file there is:

# @ avia_framework
#: config-layerslider/LayerSlider/views/slider_list.php:253
#: config-layerslider/LayerSlider_old/views/slider_list.php:253
#: config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/postslider.php:319

#: includes/loop-index.php:55 includes/loop-index.php:56
#: includes/loop-page.php:27 includes/loop-portfolio-single.php:27
msgid "Read more"
msgstr ""

In the functions.php there is:

/* Magazine Layout Startseite  */
add_filter('avf_magazine_settings', 'avia_magazine_thumbnail', 10, 2);
function avia_magazine_thumbnail($atts, $magazine){
$atts['image_size']['small'] = 'masonry';
return $atts;
}

add_filter('avia_load_shortcodes', 'avia_include_shortcode_template', 15, 1);
function avia_include_shortcode_template($paths)
{
	$template_url = get_stylesheet_directory();
    	array_unshift($paths, $template_url.'/shortcodes/');

	return $paths;
}

/* magazine excerpt  */
add_filter('avf_magazine_excerpt_length','avf_magazine_excerpt_new_lenght', 10, 1);
function avf_magazine_excerpt_new_lenght($excerpt) {
$excerpt = 140;
return $excerpt;
}

/* beitragsbild unter headline */
function add_custom_script(){
if(is_singular('post')){
?>
<script>
(function($){
    $(window).load(function() {
    	$('article.post').each(function(){
           $(this).find('.entry-content-header').after($(this).find('.big-preview').detach());
        })
    });
})(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
}
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_custom_script');

// mo files auch im child theme einsetzbar
function overwrite_language_file_child_theme() {
    $lang = get_stylesheet_directory().'/lang';
    return $lang;
}
add_filter('ava_theme_textdomain_path', 'overwrite_language_file_child_theme');

Chrome is the issue, compare the links I sent and you will see a difference. In chrome only something is rendering those thumbnails.

Thanks, Ismael. Now i know that in order to increase thumbnail dimensions i have to edit css because change dimensions in the media settings does not work. You can mark this thread as resolved.

Just FYI for anyone interested but WP Thumbnail Slider might look good but – and I find this incredible – you can only have one instance of a slider on a website. Yes, just one. The plugin developer suggested to someone enquiring about this restriction that the solution was, given the software was open source, “if you need more than one slider in one website you need to customize this plugin”. In other words, the plugin is next to useless.

Digging around I found Smart Slider 3 which does have thumbnails and installed it, and it looks very good and is relatively easy to setup.

Ismael, for me is more important the thumbnail width dimension, it should be of 180px, i don’t undestand why despite settings change in the media settings size is still small. Thanks.

Ismael, i tried again, now thumbnail are not cropped, but dimension did not change to 180px (screenshots attached).

Hi Yigit. I’ve tried your last suggested solution but it does not work. Without css thumbnail Images not increasing in size and are still cropped. I’ve reset media settings to default value and commented css in the custom css theme option. Can you check out please?
