ive since changed size to 100 x 100 but it still shows up as 40 x 40

It seems like you haven’t completed the second part of the tutorial here:
https://jetpack.me/2013/08/20/custom-thumbnails-top-posts-widget/

Could you give that a try?

hi Jeremy -i have put this snippet in child theme css. Perhaps its in the wrong place? Could you advise?

.widget_top-posts .widgets-list-layout-blavatar {
max-width: 100px;
}

Try the following CSS instead:

.widget_top-posts .widget-wrap .widgets-list-layout-blavatar {
max-width: 100px;
}

Let me know how it goes.

can i put it anywhere in child theme css?

Yes, anywhere will do!

thanks – i also changed the thumbnail size in SETTINGS > MEDIA will that make a difference

No, that setting doesn’t affect the size of the Top Posts widget images.

ive put that new piece of CSS in the child css.php but it doesnt make any difference…the thumbnails are still the same size, 40 x 40

hi there just wondering if you have any other idea on what i can do t change size of images in TOP POSTS WIDGET. Ive done everything. Changed the CSS in Thee css file. When i inspect element of image on website @ https://www.mutantspace.com it says natural size 100 X 100 but is showing as original size which is 40 x 40.
thanks

I don’t see the changes I suggested here anywhere on your site at the moment. Could you make sure you’ve added that code your theme’s stylesheet? Once you’ve done so, you’ll want to clear your cache to make sure you can see the changes.

Let me know if it helps.

hi Jeremy. I did all changes but then after some playing around – not sure what i did – its now working perfectly – images have got bigger – theyre now 77 x 77im not sure why. In inspect elemnt on chrome theyre showing (Natural 00 x 100) is that to do with padding?

theyre now 77 x 77im not sure why

If you want them to be larger, you’ll need to specify width: 100px as well, not just max-width. It might break your sidebar layout, though.

Thanks for that – the 77×77 is actually perfect but I’ll keep changes in mind. Thanks for your attentive service
