    Hey there,

    I’m looking to update my site; hence, I’m exploring a few alternative designs.

    I’ve imported the Elegant Portfolio Demo, because I like the clean minimalist b/w design.

    Now, I’m trying to update a few elements, including how the portfolio and blog thumbnails are displayed. It seems that they are rather square (img[Attributes Style] {width: 505px; height: 400px;}and I would like to change them more of rectangular, landscape format. How would I need to go about that?

    FYI: I’m displaying both elements using the Blog Posts content element (grid layout).

    As always, many thanks for any pointers and hands-on assistance.

    Best,

    Hey MadRhino,

    Please provide a link to the site/page in question so we can look into this issue further.

    Awesome. Thanks for getting back to me Jordan.

    Please find the link and corresponding admin access credentials below.

    It’s the “Work” section and “Thinking” section I’m struggling with. As you can see, the “Work” section shows more of a rectangular overlay already, but the corresponding images are cropped to the 505×400 parameters no matter what I try or in which format I supply them.

    Many thanks for looking into that.

    Best,

    Hi MadRhino,

    You can change the image thumb sizes and regenerate thumbs. Please have a look here:

    Thanks for looking into that Victoria,

    I installed and ran the “Regenerate Thumbnail” plugin that was mentioned in Yigit’s post, but this didn’t do anything. Based on the Regeneration log, the thumbnails in question were regenerated, but they didn’t change on any of the pages. Even cleaning the cache in Chrome didn’t make a difference.

    As you can see, the thumbs or featured images I uploaded to the portfolio items measure 1030 x 585px, but they are still seemingly resized and displayed in this square like 505 x 400px.

    What’s more, on the designated blog page, thumbs are displayed in the same 505 x 400px dimmension, while others – using the same blog post content element – are seemingly displayed in a more rectangular format. It’s weird.

    Would you mind taking a look. Access credentials are included in my previous request.

    Many thanks for your time and help with this.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update.

    You can actually set the posts thumbnail selection to “manual” instead “automatic”. Edit the “Blog Posts” element and set the “Preview Image Size” to the second option. You should see a new dropdown (Select custom preview image size) with the thumbnail sizes. It it currently set to the “portfolio” thumbnail.

    Best regards,

    Thanks a lot Ismael, this worked.

    I thought that setting it to automatic would naturally stretch them across the space available in the layout.

    Many thanks.
