You must enable the mentioned thumbnail size in the theme panel, then thumbnails will be displayed on those modules

Set featured images for the posts and the theme will automatically create thumbnails from them.

Not showing any thumbnail is the intention. Disable thumbnail and the thumbnail is not there. But the container should not be visible otherwise what the point of disabling thumbnail. I want to know how to make the container invisible.

I believe that is block 19, you could use a code like this to remove the thumbnail if that is what you want (enter it in Theme panel->Custom CSS)

.td_block_19 .td_module_mx2 .entry-thumb {
display: none;
}

Or you could limit the block to 2 posts and use a different type of block below it, a type that does not use thumbnails (blocks 9 or 10)

The code works as it makes the thumbnail invisible. But the problems remains. Because though the thumbnail is invisible but the container is there so the text align right.

The second solution works better but it makes the posting a bit complicated because it associates two blocks that shows single category. So while submitting post on single category i have to always aware what to show on upper block and what to show on lower block.

Another question is, if i enable thumbnail can i show a specific pic on those thumbnails?

The newspaper theme is great. But it can be greater if you fix some issues as soon as possible like this one. It is important as sometimes or many times it better to make the news site less populated with images due to lack of good image supply and to make the website naturally faster.

fix wanted –

– If thumbnail disabled there wont be any trace of it or a separate block that only has featured image then no thumbnail.
– A light and less complex Slider with vertical tab. (post slider)

Thanks.

The first solution could be modified further, so the remaining post titles after the thumbnails removal are aligned to the left, like this

So in addition to that code add this one as well

.td_block_19 .td_module_mx2 .item-details {
margin: 0 0 20px 0px;
}

The thumbnails will be created from the featured images you set. If there is no featured images a placeholder thumbnail will be shown. These are found here in the theme

There are blocks that do not display a thumbnail, you could consider using those as well. Or experiment with the new flex block as well
