Hello Simion,
Thank you for your response. Regarding the license, I activated it on my subdomain that is the staging site for my main site. There I test the updates before I apply them to the live website, so it’s the same website, just different URL.
Regarding my problem with resizing the thumbnails, I discovered a simpler method to do this. Reading the documentation, I found out about the update call for the API, so I took the following steps, maybe somebody will find them useful in the future:
– Make a plugin according to the documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-plugin-method/
– Make an API update call like specified here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_thumbupdate/
– modify just the width and height of the image to suit your needs.
After this, regenerate the thumbnails and the new dimensions will pop up in the site. I didn’t need to make any edits to the modules templates in the child theme.
Best regards,
Mircea
Hi,
If you would like to create a new thumbnail size for an existing module, you can define that new thumb size using the method provided in the previous link, in the api plugin. You can download the plugin here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/practical-example-how-to-add-a-new-block-and-module/
Then using the child theme modify an existing module to use the custom thumbnail size, from the plugin. I believe this should work properly.
Just make sure to regenerate your thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/ so the new size will be created.
This way you will not loose this customization with a theme update, everything is done through the plugin and child theme. Maybe additional options regarding this will be available in a future release, but I could not say for sure if this will happen.
About the license, the Envato license specifies you can use the theme on a single end-product at a time
– http://themeforest.net/licenses/standard
A sub-domain however can be used and the theme activated on it, if it’s part of the same project. You can use the theme on this sub-domain, as long as it will not be a different website with different content.
Thanks
Hi,
Please try to regenerate your thumbnails using this guide, and also take note of the requirements for the server
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
After the regeneration process is complete, please clear any caching installed and check to see if the problem is resolved.
Thanks
Hello michaelaulia,
You should regenerate your thumbnails by using the Force Regenerate or Force Regenerate plugin. After this, clear all your caches, purge CDN files if you are using the CDN system and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!

Hi,
Try disabling all your plugins except Visual composer, then regenerate your thumbnails using this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/ and also take note of the requirement for the server side. After the regeneration process is complete clear any caching installed.
If this does not fix the issue you are having with the thumbnails, please provide a link to your website so we can inspect it.
Thanks
They are turned on, and I am pretty sure they have been from the start, but I was wondering what would happen if we turned it off and regenerated the thumbnails? Would the sizes be all messed up?
We are not using any plugins that compress our images either :/
Hello,
The height of these blocks cannot be changed. They have a fixed layout that cannot be altered without customization. DO your blocks look any different than this example?
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-13/
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-18/
If so, it probably means you did not regenerate your thumbnails after switching themes. Please use the force regenerate plugin and regenerate the thumbs.
Thank you!
Hi,
The theme automatically creates the thumbnail sizes required for the different modules and blocks from the featured images. Each module has a defined image size that will be displayed if it is enabled in theme panel.
If you have existing content you must use the regenerate thumbnail tool in order to recreate the thumbnails required for these modules. Please try the regenerating tool provided above and the requirements mentioned in that guide. And remove any modifications you say were made. Also clear any caching installed after the regeneration process is complete.
If you tried this method and with no results, please provide a link to your website so we can inspect it.
You can see all the blocks and big grids used in the theme in the demo

Hi,
I am sorry for misunderstanding. Please try and regenerate your thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/ and take note of the required specifications for the server as well.
Thanks
Thumbnail images from post (or main page) are not loading, but when I click on the Thumbnail the full image is loaded without problem.
The images are loading normally when the Baby blog demo are not installed too.
PS.: i already try to “Regenerate Thumbnails” (Plugin) without success.
Hi
When I view the two galleries (links are in my first post) on smartphones the slider works fine until a certain picture is reached.
– tested with LG and Sony
– gallery –> normal view, not full size
– using the slider with my finger
In one case the problems start with picture 14 of 25. If picture 14 is reached, it suddenly goes very slow from right to left and this happens with most of the pictures which are following.
Screenshot: http://prnt.sc/epjuk9
In the second gallery the problems start with picture 26 of 48. If picture 26 is reached, it suddenly goes very slow from right to left and this happens with most of the pictures which are following.

Bluntly put, I upload an image (800x600px) of 130k via the media section and the theme-generated thumbnails (741×460 or 768×442) have 700k or 800k respectively.
I DO have WP Smushit plugin active and running.
In my opinion, this situation comes from the fact that while my original image contains a palette, the theme’s generated thumbnails do not. So basically instead of storing a 8-bit index palette for each pixel (such in my original jpg), the thumbnail jpg stores 3x 8-bit true colours for each pixel.
Is there a way to force a palletised thumbnail generation function before the actual output?
I have modified functions.php which is located in the theme folder, in order to compress the thumbnail, then used Force Regenerate, but with basically poor results (in the sense that generated thumbs are still bigger than the original image, despite of their smaller pixel size).
Despite of adding add_filter( ‘jpeg_quality’, create_function(”, ‘return 50;’ ) ); in functions.php and force regenerating thumbs, the results were still
Hello,
Please use the guide above and regenerate your thumbnails.
Let us know if you still have problems with images afterwards.
Thank you!
Thank you for your answer.
I don’t know why should i use Regenerate thumbnails plugin for images uploaded 2 days ago. I can do this procedure every day than. So i guess this is not the solution, right?
What harm can do child theme, with different CSS code than default or some php added to functions, that clearly has nothing to do with images?
No plugins that has to deal with images are added .. so why disable them?
Sorry, my answers might be stupid, cause i would like to get to the bottom of this bad images and some things are just not going together with bad images (child theme css, plugins)
Thank you for your support and time.
Hello,
For image troubles please make sure you regenerate images: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/ you can use the force regenerate plugin instead if you want.
Also please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
Thank you!
The thumbnails look OK, there just loading slowly.
Nonetheless, I’m running the thumbnail regenerate, and will look into the speed optimization.
Thanks
Hello,
There is no ideal image size as our theme will create thumbs for each images. The recommended image size is at least 800×600 px. It depends on the container you plan on using the image in. The image must be at least the size of the container it will show up in.
Please make sure you regenerate thumbs if you have not done it after switching themes: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
It is best to have images with the same approximate dimensions. Now you have both portrait as well as landscape images. For the overall style of your site , you should use image proportions close to each other.
Thank you!
That’s a good idea! And never thought about it. In fact I never worried about the thumbnails until we switched to a new server with better bandwith but limited space; and when I installed this theme and checked the folders found out I have thousands of unusued thumbnails.
I’m guessing if there’s the chance to stop wordpress from generating thumbnails for ALL images, upload them via the Media manager and then force regenerate only the featured images. Don’t know if that can be even possible.
Hi,
You can try the force regenerate plugin and the solutions suggested in this topic – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/please-a-solution-to-just-generate-thumbs-for-featured-image/ Maybe it is what you are looking for.
Thanks
Hello,
I have few concerns regarding theme thumbnail generation.
Allow me to describe situation.
Recently i was hired to take over client website (he had a lot of performance issues because of bad web hosting company etc.) and it turned out he is running your theme (really well coded theme and well coded support).
1. – when they installed your theme back then – of course they turned on absolutely all thumb available in Theme Panel > Block Settings > Thumbs on Modules/Blocks as can be seen here https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
Problem is….they don’t use all modules – therefore theme is generating unnecessary thumbnails. Now they have over 250 000 images in their uploads folder?!?!
My question is – if i disable some of these thumbnail settings in Theme Panel > Block Settings > Thumbs on Modules/Blocks and if i regenerate thumbnails with Regenerate Thumbnail plugin – are these unnecessary thumbnails vanish from my media library – pardon uploads folder? ATM my uploads folder is 10GB big. I am guessing when i get rid on unnecessary thumbnails i will have at least 35% reduction in size.
2. of course i will use built in wordpress image compression (they did not used that previously) – as described here https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ i will add
add_filter( ‘jpeg_quality’, create_function(”, ‘return 50;’ ) );
to functions.php
When i regenerate thumbnails – will newly generated thumbnails follow rule of compression from function.php?
Thanks in advance
Thumbails were already activated since day 0. Block shows text error if they are deactivated. I deactivated them, reactivated and regenerated the tumbails and it keeped at the same status.
Can be it related to .htaccess / Rewrite conditions module config? Can I send you Virtualhost-htaccess files (very small) and if you see something you give me the heads up?
Hi,
Your site does not use a thumbnail for images but rather the full image: https://www.screencast.com/t/8iDWOi9xa It cannot show up properly without the thumbnail. Please make sure thumbnails are active in the theme panel: https://www.screencast.com/t/bsiDuPK5F and regenerate your thumbnails afterwards.
Thank you!
Hi,
If none of the solutions you tried works and you ruled out a plugin being the possible cause for this, please check if gd library is enabled on the server as it is required for the image processing, so contact you hosting provider and ask them about this. If that is the case and a solution is provided in that regard, then try and use the regenerate thumbnails tool and also clear your cache.
Thanks
Hi,
If you are having problems with the thumbnails on blocks, try deactivating all the plugins except Visual composer, and use this guide to regenerate your thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/ Then clear your cache and purge cdn files if you use it.
Thanks
