sorry, resolved.

I actually figured it out. Even if you use Elementor, you can just go to the regular WordPress edit page (don’t choose edit with wordpress though) and set the featured image using the featured image… feature. Click save and it will apply it.

Here’s a screen shot of the code and the part of the site affected in case that helps:

See, there’s some complicated code surrounding the footer. I’m suggesting that you can’t just hard code it because the oceanWP theme is doing all kinds of stuff with the footer. It’s just such a damn shame that you can totally change the background color but not the background image in the UI. Here are two examples of how the footer’s background is tied up in other code:

$footer_background = get_theme_mod( 'ocean_footer_background', '#222222' );

// Footer background
			if ( ! empty( $footer_background ) && '#222222' != $footer_background ) {
				$css .= '#footer-widgets{background-color:'. $footer_background .';}';
			}

Hi,

Thanks for the response. I’d prefer not to clear the image cache as all this does for me is cause all the thumbnails in my gallery to lose their crop and then, seeing as I can’t just update the crop in the back-end, I have to pull down all the thumbnails and edit them manually and re-upload. Very time-consuming.

Not sure what is meant by re-insert the specific display?

I have two sites that are almost identical where one won’t let me edit the thumbs at all. You tried suggesting a few things in a previous post, I did those and none of them worked, so I think it might need someone at your end to look at it specifically?

Thanks

@photocrati Hi Cais,

I just deactivated my plugins as you suggested, there were only two: akismet and formidable. That didn’t do anything. This site, as I mentioned before, is sort of twinned with another site that’s damn near identical save for a few jpegs, so it’s not the theme as that other site works fine.

Likely this is a job for the dev team to investigate!

Cais,

I mean that when I click on ‘edit thumbs’ absolutely nothing happens. No pop-up, nothing.

The only buttons/links that do what they’re supposed to are ‘view’ and ‘delete’. All others do nothing.

Hi Cais,

So I’m back to my original problem now which is that when I click on ‘edit thumb’ it does nothing and any image I add ends up full size amongst the gallery thumbs on the front end.

How would you like me to proceed with this issue?

Hi Cais,

I have an interesting case. Two almost identical web sites, one that does not have this problem, one that does.

https://www.architecturalvisualisation3d.co.uk/ (has the problem)

https://www.architecturalvisualizationseattle.com/ (does not)

Not sure if this helps you guys out in any way. Problem site has latest WordPress compared to the other site, but that was updated after the issue.

Thanks for responding! will keep an eye out for any updates ??

good GOD that was complicated! Thanks so much for your help!

I checked with my hosting company and they said I’m not even registered with cloudflare. So that’s odd.

Now I just need to make copious notes in case I need to do it again.

But question – did the !important really make the difference? and if so, why?

Edit: just looked it up. It overrides anything before it ??

I’m actually in Seattle, just moved here from the UK and so haven’t updated all my profiles etc. ??

I thought it might be Cloudflare. I’ve had to email my host support because I’ve just changed hosts and can’t change my settings yet. I’ll see what happens when they get back to me. Thanks for your help thus far!

Done, still no change.

Methinks we are defeated.

all I need is the overlay. I have this in my style.css:

#fancybox-overlay
{
background-color: #111;
}
