Thanks Ismael, you have usually been spot on, this bit of code you gave me did not effect anything.

I have made all the image sizes smaller — Large Med and Thumbnail.. But none of them seem to be effected.

Would I need to use your code but with the different container for each for that also to work with other images?

James

That means I need to set an image for every YouTube video is that correct?
Isn’t there a way just to use the YouTube thumbnail and simply open the video in a lightbox?

Both are set to 13, yes, and I have disabled all plugins, I’ve gone ahead and put in the default magazine, which seems to display all the items properly(as well as put the noresponse text at the top of the page), this means, I assume, that there is a problem with the template file, I understand that you can’t help much with that, but if you can, below is the code in that file.

<?php
	/*
	Template Name: Home
	*/

global $avia_config;

	/* 
	 * get_header is a basic wordpress function, used to retrieve the header.php file in your theme directory.
	 */
	 get_header();

 	 if( get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'header', true) != 'no') echo avia_title();
 	 
 	 do_action( 'ava_after_main_title' );
	 ?>

		<div class='container_wrap container_wrap_first main_color <?php avia_layout_class( 'main' ); ?>'>

			<div class='container'>

				<main class='template-page content  <?php avia_layout_class( 'content' ); ?> units' <?php avia_markup_helper(array('context' => 'content','post_type'=>'page'));?>>

                    <?php
                    /* Run the loop to output the posts.
                    * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
                    * called loop-page.php and that will be used instead.
                    */

                    $avia_config['size'] = avia_layout_class( 'main' , false) == 'entry_without_sidebar' ? '' : 'entry_with_sidebar';
                    get_template_part( 'includes/loop', 'page' );
                    ?>

Hi Elliot,
I would like to open in a new tab the products (portfolio entries) once you click on the thumbnail, the product page is opened in a new tab.
here is the link (private)

thank you

Hi there,

I’ve done that, and it’s changed nothing. The thumbnails always looked OK. It’s just when you click into the actual blog post to read it that it shows now feature image at the top even though I have that box checked.

Thanks.

Hi,

There is no option under setting media for entry_with_sidebar

also you don’t indicate what the plugin is, i guess it’s some sort of thumbnail regenerator

this is proving to be very problematic and needs a resolution asap

thanks
aleks
