change default thumbnail-image in post list grid

Hi there,
the theme documentation is under overhaul and will be updated soon.

That option is not available for the modern style but only for the classical one.

Hope this helps.

I am afraid not …

1) the documentation page you linked to seems outdated, too. You can’t simply switch between styles, you have to modify the wp-config.php to change theme to “modern”. At least that’s what my custmizer says (current version) under “Advanced / Theme-Style”. Maybe the button is only available in PRO version?

2) I did NOT modify wp-config.php so I infer that I am on “classical” theme. Is this correct? How can I see whether I am on classical or modern? Assuming that I am on “classical”, the option should be there. It isn’t. So I guess this feature is PRO only?

3) Speaking for me, I can live without an option in the customizer, as I will be happy to change the code in the theme file. Can you tell me just where I find it? I’ll just substitute another SVG code.

Cheers,
Alex

Well, it was hard. Should not be so hard to change a default image :-((

FYI:
The svg is hardcoded (!) in customizr/core/functions-ccat.php, line 1345, function czr_fn_get_placeholder_thumb
BTW: The section is titled “Placeholder thumbs for preview demo mode” which is just wrong, ignore it.

First I tried to move the function to customizr-child/function.php, but that did not work, don’t know why.

Anyway, I then copied functions-ccat.php to customizr-child/core/functions-ccat.php, expecting it to override the original file – AFAIK that is exactly what child themes are for. Surprise: It did not work either.

So I had to modify the original file ??

I replaced the SVG code with my own SVG, but ist did not show as defined in the code.
Turns out, the size/position is modified via CSS, so I had to modify .czr-svg-placeholder via CUSTOMIZR-Additional CSS, forcing the values with !important …

Regards,
Alex

Well, of course, this is no real solution.

Correct solution is to use the functions-ccat.php of the child theme.

So: why does this not work?

“Anyway, I then copied functions-ccat.php to customizr-child/core/functions-ccat.php, expecting it to override the original file – AFAIK that is exactly what child themes are for. Surprise: It did not work either.”

I always thought that child theme files override the original files??
