Hello everybody,
Just ran into a weird issue with the blog layout on my traveling site.
Although I selected “Single Author, big preview pic” in the Blog Layout and “Single Post with big preview image” under Single Post Style, it keeps displaying the small preview pic, which comes off as slightly distorted. I even tried toggling between these two settings, but it won’t make a difference.
Any ideas what may cause this? I have a clone of the blog on a sub-domain and although I’m running the site there with the exact same settings, they display just fine there.
Many thanks for your time and help with this. I truly appreciate it.
Hey MadRhino,
You might be seeing a cached version, if you have cache enabled, which may seem like changes are not applied.
Best regards,
VictoriaThank you for getting back to me Victoria,
Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to be a cache issue. I routinely clear the cache on my machine, and double check on other devices before contacting support. It’s also not the first time I noticed this happening. For instance, on the dummy blog I mentioned in my first post here, the problem is exactly the other way around. There I got the large preview image (the one I want on my main site), but changing it to a small preview image won’t work. It’s weird!
Would you mind looking into that for me. Please see the log in info below.
Many thanks for your time and help with this. I appreciate

Hi Karl,
I found this in enfold-child/style.css
#top .fullsize .template-blog .blog-meta { display: none; }It hide the preview image in Author Single small preview, and styles for .small-privew are different in layout.css.
So the changing mode works, it’s just different styles are applied. Now you have to decide, what you need and apply necessary styles.
Let us know if you have any more questions.
Best regards,
VictoriaSorry to say Victoria, but removing this line of code has no effect whatsoever.
I removed it from the child’s style sheet and although the big preview image is being selected in the theme’s options, it still shows the small preview image.
Moreover, the header of that line of code suggests that this is merely linked to removing the post category icon (i.e. image, video, etc.)
Thoughts?
Hi MadRhino,
I got confused now. What is it you need to achieve? And can you send a screen shot of what is not working?
Also here on the top image the title and the button are too far to the left, they go beyond view.
Best regards,
VictoriaHello Victoria,
I’m terribly sorry, but I was under the impression that the “small preview image” would simply render a smaller version of the featured image on the blog posts.
After following your suggesting to remove the code you mentioned in your earlier response, I tried again and noticed that the “small preview images” actually is more of a thumbnail that displayed on the left side of the blog post. Maybe labeling this option a thumbnail preview image would be more clear.
Either way, I think this will take care of my issue as I decided to work with a custom blog post layout. What still puzzles me is that the “large preview image” on single blog posts appears to be larger on the mirror installation I did. See details in my original post
Anyways, thank you so much for your time and help. I’m sorry for the confusion.
Hi MadRhino,
I think it’s because in one case you have sidebar and there’s less room for content, so the image dimensions are adjusted to that, and in another case you have all width to content and just some padding.
You can play with sidebar to see how the image changes, if you like.
Let us know if you have any more questions.
Best regards,
Victoria
