Photoria Theme: Featured Images not working?

  • Hi all, I’m hoping someone can help me with this. I’m using the Photoria theme on my site and want to get the “featured images” scrolling across the home page. Following the provided directions with a test image (I’ve tried several test images) causes the image to show up full width but only one pixel tall. Check it out:

    What could be causing this? I’ve tried resizing the image various ways, setting its alignment on the page to center, none, etc….but nothing works.

    Hope someone can offer a suggestion!

    Hi, thank you for that. I’d already gone thru that torubleshooter with no success…

    Like I said, only one line of pixels of the image shows up. Its driving me crazy! ;p

    I’ve had this same problem before with TimThumb and the issue was resolved by changing the permissions on the /scripts to 755 and /scripts/cache to 755 as well. Did you already try that? If you did, try this:

    In your styles.css:

    .container {
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
    height: 430px !important;
    }

    OR

    #featPostsBig div.cover {
    height: 430px !important;
    }

    That should fix the issue with the height not showing up. It’s a problem with TimThumb though so changing permissions should fix it. Try changing permissions first and THEN try the above two.

    Future, that fixed it! I added both lines of code and now it works! Thank you SO much!!

    Hi,
    I’ve got a similar problem, try to see here

    some thumbnails simply don’t load… and they are always different, that makes me think that it’s not a problem of a single image…

    what can I do?

    thank you!

    ps: it’s a problema of every category of my website… the link above is just an example

    Hi all, a bunch of people have emailed me about the solution as I managed to get it working on my site.

    I had a lot of trouble getting it to work and cant recall the exact thing I did to get it going. Here are the things you might try.

    1. On the Homepage Options section of the Theme settings, make sure Featured Posts is set to YES and that (below that) you have a number greater than 0 for Featured Posts.
    2. Make sure your images for the slideshow are the correct dimension and file format. Mine are 950×430 and are PNG files.
    3. Load those images into a post each. In other words, create a new Post for each image you want in the slideshow. The image should be the only thing in the post. Then down on the bottom right, check the box for Featured Image.

    Hope this helps! Good luck.
