Grey Area showing in Big Grid Photo section

I am trying to fix the problem I am having with the Big Grid. In some of the post the pictures get downsized by a grey gradiant. When the gradiant is in place you cant make out the text due to the text being white. I want the Big Grid to appear like in the Demo Version. Things I have done. 1. added Thumbnail Upscale plugin. 2.added same posts to the big slider block. The photoS will enlarge to fit slider, so dont know why a photo would not enlarge to the smaller grids of the Big Grid.

3 Added .td-image-gradient:before{
background: transparent;
}
.td-module-thumb a:last-child:before{
background: transparent !important;
}

into your custom css section on theme panel.

None Have worked

URL?

And have you checked this section of the theme panel to make sure the proper thumbnail sizes are turned on? The theme automatically creates the correctly sized and/or cropped images for each element in the theme, if it is turned on via this section. This section allows you to turn off certain sizes that you don’t use, which saves resources.

Also, note that WordPress cannot “enlarge and crop to fit” images.

Try adding the free “Thumbnail Upscale” plugin, which is what we use.

Once you enable all of the sizes in the theme panel (they don’t all come enabled by default), regenerate your thumbnails and that grey area will go away. The images will be both scaled down correctly from the original and cropped to fit the exact dimensions of each thumbnail use on the site. But again, only if enabled in the panel I screen capped above.

As Chris pointed out, WordPress will only scale images down, not up. So make sure any images you upload are originally large enough to fill any space you will need it for. I believe the lone exception is that the theme will blow up an image to fit the screen if you use a the full-width featured post post format, but that’s because it’s a background image in that style.
