Minimum Pro: Front Page Featured Image Thumbnails

[Dan]

Hi all,
Trying to implement thumbnails in the Minimum Pro front page blog posts.

Working through other posters' information, I've changed the 'grid_image_size' setting in the "minimum_grid_loop_helper", to get the thumbnail to display, but I can't seem to dictate what size the thumbnail is to be.

I just noticed that another MP site referenced in a post here has 150x150 thumbnails, so I'm clearly overlooking something simple.

Any pointers much appreciated!

Thanks

Wohoo! Figured it out. For reference for others:

In functions.php, add your desired image sizes

//* Add new image sizes
add_image_size( 'portfolio', 540, 340, TRUE );
add_image_size( 'your-thumbnail-image-name', 240, 100, TRUE );

(Note: If you do this after uploading the images you want to use, grab the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin and run it)

Next modify the following grid loop helper section of front-page.php to:

`//* Genesis grid loop
function minimum_grid_loop_helper() {

if ( function_exists( 'genesis_grid_loop' ) ) {
genesis_grid_loop( array(
'features' => 0,
'feature_image_size' => 0,
'feature_content_limit' => 0,
'grid_image_size' => 'insert-your-thumbnail-image-name-you-created-here',
'grid_image_class' => 'alignleft post-image',
'grid_content_limit' => 200,
'more' => __( '[Read more]', 'minimum' ),
) );
} else {

genesis_standard_loop();

}

}
`
And that should do you.

thanks for this, it took me a while to figure it out but the code you pasted has the wrong ' character

Hi @baconzoo - yeah I did the old copy / paste trick, but that grid loop section wouldn't pick up the code tags, so it's presented as text. Been caught out like that a couple times myself. Glad you got it sorted though. 🙂
