Can’t control thumb size

Hello @scottermonk,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

Can you please let me know if you are using any caching plugins?

Warm regards,

Beatrice.

Hi @beatrice12 –

Thanks for looking at my issue!

As I mentioned above “And yep, I clear my cache, both on server and client-side.”

But maybe it’s still a valid question: Yes, I do use caching (WP-Optimize) and I clear page cache and server-side cache every time I re-check the gallery page.

Hello @scottermonk ,

The images are resized to the dimension you specified, as you can see here https://hardsurface.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/20221022_190316-680×906.jpg

The custom grid is a set of 12 blocks per row, and when you set the size 340px/block it means that one block will have 340px. Now, if you stretch an image on 2 blocks, it means that in the front the image will have 2x340px = 680px, which is correct as shown in the above image example. The problem you are experiencing is that you are trying to show 12 blocks ( 6 images as far as I can see ) in a container that only has 1080px, so that’s 90px/block, so about 180px/image ( a little less if we take into consideration the gap between the images ).

To correct this, please either decrease the size/block and put fewer images on 1 row, or increase the width of the gallery container, maybe make it a full page container.

Hope this clears things up a bit ??

Warmly,
Razvan

@raldea89 Where do I find the “The custom grid is a set of 12 blocks per row” setting?

Remember; I have only the free version. When I go to General Settings for this Gallery, and Custom, I only have Gutter, Image size (Custom), Block size (340), and Crop Images toggle (off).

If I change Image size to “Medium,” I still do not see a setting for blocks per row or anything per row.

If I choose “Masonry,” I get more settings but I’ve played with them. Still nothing about rows or width, except a Width %, Row Height, and Image size dropdown.

The only way I have found to keep blur low is to use the “Custom” Gallery Type setting so that the images are 6 across and thus, small.

Hello @scottermonk ,

That is not a setting, I was explaining how the custom grid works ( please see image https://imgur.com/a/JHyDRHs ), which is available in the free version of the plugin. You can specify the dimension of each block, which you did ( 340 ). You have 6 images in a row, so each image takes 2 blocks in width, making a total width of 680px. The gallery container is only 1080px ( please see image https://imgur.com/a/eF3dal1 ), so you are forcing 6 images in a 1080px container, making each image approx 180px ( there is also a gap between images ). So, visually, the image is approx 180px, although, as I have pointed out in the previous reply, the image itself is 680px wide.

Does this clear things out?

Warmly,
Razvan
