    Hello everyone!

    I use Balance Child Theme.
    I don't know why but the pictures (thumbnails) in sidebar on my blog suddenly became small: http://tanyavega.com/wp-content/uploads/WTF.jpg Here I use the Genesis widget (I'm not sure how it sounds in English - maybe 'Genesis - Priority images' or smth like that). Here is the screenshot just in case although it's in Russian: http://tanyavega.com/wp-content/uploads/Genesis-Widget.jpg

    The pictures (thumbnails) had the same width that the headers and text excerpts in sidebar have before. All I did - I just changed the sort order to 'by date' (it was 'by comments number' before) and clicked "Save"; that's all.

    Can anyone advise what to do in this situation? Is that kinda bug?..

    Best regards,
    Tanya Vega

    See bottom left (of your widget settings) where it says "Featured Image" and "thumbnail" is selected? Change that to an image size at least 280px wide.

    Of course I would do that (too simple solution)). But I can't. It suggests only size 0x0. See: http://tanyavega.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot.jpg

    It's (thumbnail) width actually must be 210 px.

    Is your settings > media page showing the correct dimensions?

    Thank you, Lauren!
    I had all zeroes there. http://tanyavega.com/wp-content/uploads/Media-settings.jpg I actually thought about changing these dimensions of thumbnails but I also thought but it should be OK with thumbnail sizes by default (because Balance Theme has his own settings) so I supposed that there is another way to make the size of thumbnails to be right (through Balance Theme).
    Anyway, I changed the dimensions, maybe be this is the rightest way. And now it's OK.
    Thanx again!

    Ah, the bad thing that now every uploaded picture automatically creates his own small copy in Uploads folder.... That's why I put there all zeroes and there have to be zeroes.

    Maybe someone can suggest another solution how to make the right size of thumbnails in sidebar?? maybe directly throug Balance Theme editing...

    The thumbnail width must be 280px - yes, not 210.
