Hi bcworkz,

Thanks so much for checking this out and for being so diligent in looking through this for us! A co-worker had an old colleague who came out of the woodwork today and made short work of this issue that has taken a year or two off my life and I’m not sure how it happened, but I’ve got some bald spots on my head now where hair used to be. Just thanks again so much!

Hi bcworkz!

Well, I do my best to lower expectations and the bar on account of it becomes an easier endeavor to step over it once the bar has been lowered a sufficient distance!

Also, thanks for checking things over and checking my thought that it looks like there is no code in the environment that will accomplish desired functionality.

I think we’re going to end up getting some outside paid help on this. If I felt like I could explain how we magically lost functionality that three separate people remember us having recently, I would feel better attacking this myself. I was leaning strongly on the theory that we never had the functionality in the first place and people were just remembering a different website’s functionality, but this becomes less plausible with several people having recent and distinct memories of the functionality.

As it is, I can’t shake the feeling that I am failing to understand something on a fundamental level and with that being the case, I don’t want to dive in because that is an easy way to make things worse which will only increase the costs once paid help comes in.

Hi Matt,

Thanks so much for the response! The e.preventDefault() has not been in there and I anticipate that eventually I will want to put it in there, but for now I want to leave it out so that when they click on the thumbnail, they at least end up on a page that shows a bigger image. As it is, with e.preventDefault() in there, the user would only be able to tell their action was causing something if the map was toggled on when they clicked a thumbnail.

The $(“.featured-image”).show() line appears to only reveal the already existing featured image and does not actually change the featured image. You can see that line doing its job if you toggle the Google Map on by clicking the Map icon and then clicking a gallery image. The featured image returns into view before the page then redirects to the image source.

Another part of what has been making me crazy is that I have not been able to see/find any code that makes the thumbnail render as the actual featured image when it is clicked. The thumbnail related function appears to only make sure that the preset featured image appears if it was not already visible.

Best,
