Hello,
Please make sure you regenerate thumbnails by using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Thank you!
Hi,
Please make sure you are modifying the thumbnail for the module you are testing. Check which module uses what thumbnail, then make the modification
– https://www.screencast.com/t/8EPvBszn
Modify the thumbnail cropping and test on the same module. Regenerate thumbnails after make in any changes for the thumbnails. Also clear installed caches. The images should be cropped according to the values you enter. The first value being horizontally and the second vertically.
Thanks
So I changed this bit:
‘crop’ => array(‘center’, ‘top’),
into:
‘crop’ => array(‘left’, ‘top’),
for all the api_thumb, regenerated the thumbnails, but the appearance doesn’t change.
Maybe this can help: I have inspected the theme and the thumbs that should be cropped from the left are the “td-module-thumb” or “td-big-thumb and td-medium-thumb
I just activated “Retina” thumbnails for all modules/blocks to get better looking images on the site. I then regenerated all thumbnails using the plugin suggested at https://forum.tagdiv.com/existing-content/
Now, a lot of the thumbnails aren’t resizing properly and are throwing the grids and lists off.
You can see what I’m talking about on my website at http://comicbookcorps.com
For example, the first image on the landing page grid won’t resize properly. And a lot of images in the “Comics” category won’t resize either.
Did I miss a step somewhere? How can I fix this? Thanks ahead of time for the help.
Hi,
That would be the method that should be used to modify the cropping used by the theme. Or make the modification directly in the theme files, for the thumbnail you wish

The thumbnails will have to be regenerated after making any modification

Hi. Since a few days, after playing with a different grid we have this issue on all mobile versions of our website.
The small images on Grid 1 appear first OK after finish the loading they change with a gray area not rendered in the right resolution.
I have regenerated the Thumbnails 3 times with no success. Also I have purged all caches a few times. It only seems to be on real mobiles, not when i change resolution on the PC.

Thanks for you help if you can..

Hi,
It seems there is a problem with the thumbnails, please try and regenerate the thumbnails using this guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Thanks
Hello doublenico,
This problem appears when the images are not loaded/cropped as expected. To fix this problem, please check the following documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/ Also, check your Modules/Blocks thumbs to be activated from theme panel, like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/ Also, after this you should regenerate your thumbnails using Force Regenerate or Thumbnails Regenerate.
Thanks for your understanding!
For photos;
you need to upload optimized versions to begin with; obviously a 250kb image that should be 50kb will be problem with speed. Some plugins like ‘smush it’ or similar can help. If your host supports mod_pagespeed, that can also resave large images in faster formats like webp.
For thumbs, try changing default compression level (e.g., ’60’) in your wp-config.php file, then “regenerate thumbnails” to redo all those at smaller sizes.
Good morning, in our web https://www.industriaembebidahoy.com the thumbnails in the cover are not show today (yesterday works perfectly).
I delete and put a completely new wordpress and Newsmag theme, but nothing.
I deactive all plugins… nothing
I try with Regenerate thumbnails plugin and tell me “the original image is not found in…”
and also the block 7 widget not show the last 7 days post.
desesperate…
Please, any ide to solve it?
thanks very much in advanced.

Hi
My thumbnails are blurry (poor quality) too, including logo image. It’s very obvious. I’ve regenerated thumbnails. This is a problem caused by this theme because I was using another theme with this same site and had crystal clear images, these same images. Any ideas on how to fix?
See here: http://epicobserver.com
Thanks
I have tried to regenerate the thumbnails. But it didn’t work for me too.
Its strange: I updated to WordPress 4.9 (with Newsmag 4.1) and the images will be displayed in full size. After downgrading back to WordPress 4.8.2 the images are also displayed in full size. But after change the theme to classic and then back to Newsmag the images are okay.
Now, my problem is the same as before: I cannot update to WordPress 4.9. Newsmag 4.1 and 4.2 didn’t work for me.
Any help is welcome.
Sometimes a regenerate thumbnails works. I’ve had similar problems and that seemed to help.
While I do understand that a featured image will be cropped when the image block has a different aspect ratio from the original image, Block 24 of the Erotic theme is enlarging the image to the extent that it is unusable. What little is visible is shown in very low resolution. This is a photography website so image quality is critically important. The image below the screenshot block is the original image.
This is only happening when using Block 24 no matter what post I use and the image quality is also compromised. I don’t want to give up using Block 24…that block design is only reason I used this theme.
(Sorry…I don’t know how to post my image here…I have my website hidden because I am still designing it. Hopefully you can see my attached image.) I regenerated all of my thumbnails but it didn’t help. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

The excerpts will display content from the post. If the post begins with a link, the link will be displayed. A solution would be to set excerpts manually for the posts

Hi,
Indeed there seems to be an issue with the thumbnails quality. I have used one of your images in a test using same thumbnail size, these are the result
– https://www.screencast.com/t/tUG2n8k4n
There is a noticeable difference between the image quality. From what I can see the thumbnail is already created blurry
– https://www.southernvines.co.za/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Windmeul-Market-218×150.jpg
This should not happen, the theme does not influence the quality of the thumbnails. Please deactivate all plugins except them plugins, and clear all caching installed. Then regenerate the thumbnails again
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
The thumbnails will be recreates, and they should look better. If you have any image
quality filter added somewhere in the theme files or other configuration, remove it.
Thanks
Hi there, I’ve really been struggling with blurry thumbnails and featured images on my site. I’ve disabled WP Smush, disabled WP Super Cache, regenerated thumbnails, done it all and nothing is working. I’m uploading images at full size – most are over 1000px wide.
URL: https://www.southernvines.co.za
You can see when you click into each article the image is crisp and clear.
Please help?
Hi,
I believe you might have changed the default WordPress thumbnail size set here

Please change it to the default setting and check the results. Regenerate thumbnails again if needed.
Thanks
Hello,
After a redesign of a blog, I have a problem with my search results page.
Thumbnails are too big. I try to change size of them with “Regenerate thumbnails” plugin, but I did not see any change.
I have this little problem with old and new posts.
Have you an idea ?
Here, an URL to see my bug.

Hi,
Still the thumbnails are not created from what I can see. Take note of the requirement mentioned in the guide for the server configuration
– https://www.screencast.com/t/eCb30BdGK1N
Contact the hosting provider and see if the GD library for PHP is available. Then regenerate the thumbnails again, clear all caching and purge CDN files.
Thanks
Hello,
Pleas remove any image optimization tools you might be using as they can interfere with the process. Also you can try to use the “force regenerate” plugin.
Another important aspect is your featured images MUST be larger than the thumbnail container in both width and height. The theme crops images but it does not enlarge them.
Thank you!
Hi,
The regeneration process will recreate all the necessary thumbnails needed for the theme modules. If you have regenerated the thumbnails and there is still a problem, please take note that the GD library is required to be installed on the server
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
You could check with the hosting provider if it is installed. Then there should be no problem with the thumbnails.
If possible please provide a link to your website so we can inspect it, if the issue is still present.
Thanks
