    Hello,

    The problem:
    When I make a new post and in that one I add a featured image, i get, for a second, a smaller thumbnail where I can click on to see the bigger version of it, but when I refresh the post (F5) the smaller thumbnail will disappear into a black square with a icon of a broken document in it. I can still click on it to see the bigger version.

    Does anyone know what i′m doing wrong?

    Solved!

    On the next website I found the answer. https://www.agentwp.com/fix-thumbnails-not-working-in-a-wordpress-theme-from-elegant-themes

    The parts that worked voor me were:

    If thumbnails are still not working on your website, then login via FTP to your web server and make sure that the uploads and the et_temp folders are fully writable, that is, they have 755 or 777 permission depending upon the security configuration of your web server. Try 755 first as its more secure.

    and:

    Appearance > Editor in your WordPress dashboard, and select custom-functions.php file from right side to edit.

    Find the following code in this file, and comment the marked lines,

    if ( false !== get_option( 'et_images_temp_folder' ) ) return;
$uploads_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$destination_dir = ( false === $uploads_dir['error'] ) ? path_join( $uploads_dir['basedir'], 'et_temp' ) : null;
if ( ! wp_mkdir_p( $destination_dir ) ) update_option( 'et_images_temp_folder', '' );
else {
update_option( 'et_images_temp_folder', preg_replace( '#\/\/#', '/', $destination_dir ) );
update_option( 'et_schedule_clean_images_last_time', time() );
}

    The edited code snippet will look like this,

    #if ( false !== get_option( 'et_images_temp_folder' ) ) return;
$uploads_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$destination_dir = ( false === $uploads_dir['error'] ) ? path_join( $uploads_dir['basedir'], 'et_temp' ) : null;
#if ( ! wp_mkdir_p( $destination_dir ) ) update_option( 'et_images_temp_folder', '' );
#else {
update_option( 'et_images_temp_folder', preg_replace( '#\/\/#', '/', $destination_dir ) );
update_option( 'et_schedule_clean_images_last_time', time() );
#}

    Now save this file and go to your homepage and reload the page. The thumbnails will now appear fine.

    And it works!
