Hello –
Can you help me figure out why images are not displaying on the excerpt here: https://www.kvnutalk.com/ Scroll about halfway down under “National News”. It leaves a space for the image, and when you click on the headline it shows an image. Thanks!

Hi,

You have to set featured images for your posts
https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image-or-video/
If you don’t the theme will display those placeholders. Once you set a featured image or video the theme will create thumbnails
https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
Note that if you use originally small images such as this one

In this case not many thumbnails will be created, or the results will not be proper. Each module has a required size that it will try to create

Hi Simion –
Thanks for your reply and the info. Those posts are being pulled from an RSS feed, using a plugin called FeedWordPress. I don’t think the plugin is being supported anymore because I can’t get a response from the developer. But ABC News recommended this plugin so I can keep the RSS content on my own site. So I have no control over the featured image. However, every story does feature an image from the RSS feed. I just wish there was a way for the website to recognize the image being pulled from the RSS feed, and display that image on the short excerpt on the home page. Maybe I just need to find another plugin.

Thanks again!
Ryan

Hi,

The theme is designed to work with self published content, posts should be created and published by authors and then displayed in the blocks/grids etc. That would be the intended functionality. So displaying content through RSS will be a problem.

You could try other plugins in that case, make further tests. Maybe you can find a solution.

Thanks
