I’ve inherited managing a site built with Enfold, and I can’t really work out what’s going on with the blog.
I have two versions of the site with seemingly the same settings yet two subtly different displays going on on the blog pages.
How can I set featured images to display a certain size on the blog page?
Hey kaumediagroup,
Can you post the links to the 2 blog pages? and also give us temporary admin access to both sites, so we can check the backend. Please post the details in Private Content, so only moderators can see.
Best regards,
NikkoHi kaumediagroup,
Current version of Enfold is 4.0.4, you have an old version. The second link is not working.
You might want to consider updating Enfold depending on what you want to do next. As for the other website, cannot say anything at this point.If you need further assistance please let us know.
Best regards,
VictoriaI’ve amended the second link…
How much will updating the theme affect everything else that’s in place?
Hi,
Updating the theme should not affect anything unless you have made changes to any of the theme files, you might want to make proper backups of the site before you update in case you should need to roll back though. http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/updating-your-theme-files/

RikardHi,
Ok, thanks for the feedback. Could you try running this plugin in order to clear WordPress transients please? https://wordpress.org/plugins/transients-manager/
If that doesn’t help then you might have to update manually via FTP: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/updating-your-theme-files/
Best regards,
RikardI’ve updated the theme on the private link below, but it hasn’t changed anything with regard to the featured images in the grid.
I want all the featured images to be square. For some reason the most recent post shows the image square, yet if I upload square images it crops them to a rectangle like the other images.
Hi kaumediagroup,
Even the “square image” is not so square:
height: 632px;
width: 608px;Here is some reading on images and WordPress:
You might find a solution there.
If you need further assistance please let us know.
Best regards,
VictoriaThanks Victoria, but those don’t really address the question I’ve been asking.
Please can someone help me work out why the featured image for blog posts is not consistent, and show me how to fix it so that the images will be consistent.
Hi,
This plugin should help you: https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

John TorvikHi,
The default thumbnail size used in the blog is the “portfolio” thumbnail. If you want to change its size, install the following plugin then go to the Settings > Media panel. Look for the “portfolio” thumbnail, adjust the size, save, update then regenerate the thumbnails.
// https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-image-sizes/
If you want to assign a custom thumbnail, edit the index.php file, look for this code around line 44:
$atts = array( 'type' => 'grid', 'items' => get_option('posts_per_page'), 'columns'=> 3, 'class'=>'avia-builder-el-no-sibling', 'paginate'=>'yes');Set the “preview_mode” parameter to “custom” and then specify the thumbnail size in the “image_size” parameter.
$atts = array( 'preview_mode' => 'custom', 'image_size' => 'extra_large', 'type' => 'grid', 'items' => get_option('posts_per_page'), 'columns'=> 3, 'class'=>'avia-builder-el-no-sibling', 'paginate'=>'yes');Or set the Enfold > Blog > Blog Layout to “Use the advance layout builder” then edit the actual blog page. Switch to the advance layout builder, insert the blog post element then set the “Preview Image Size” settings to “manual”. Select the thumbnail.
Best regards,
IsmaelIsmael, where do you see that the ‘portfolio’ size is being used, and what size is that? It’s not listed in my image sizes.
It also doesn’t explain why images are displaying different sizes. I thought a featured image created an image that size. I don’t want different sizes all over the place.
It also doesn’t explain why two sites that are or should be the same are returning different sizes.
Hi,
Please check the config-templatebuilder > avia-shortcodes > postslider.php file, line 234. You should see that the “image_size” parameter is set to “portfolio” by default. The “portfolio” thumbnail is also set to “soft crop” so original images with different sizes will return different thumbnail versions.
Check your installations, make sure that they have the same settings in the Blog > Blog Layout. If they are the same, please follow the instructions above.
Best regards,
Ismael
