    Dear All,

    I am new to Genesis Framework and having problems. I am trying to increasing the "Home-Top" Section of the News pro theme from the default of 777px x 461px to 777px x 480px for example.

    I have added the new size to the function.php and confirmed that the thumbnail have been regenerated and found but the theme.

    I have also played around with the padding located in the style.css.

    So far nothing has changed the the home-top section and it cutting the thumbnails. You can see what i mean on my test server 50ccplus.com.

    Thank you

    Hi,
    You just have yet another container, and it's too small. I sampled the piece of code, and changed the min-height to 480px. To edit, go to Appearance.... Edit. You can continue to adjust that to taste as needed. Take a look at the source on your site to see what's happening and learn.

    .home-top .widget.ui-tabs .entry {
      background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
      border: medium none;
      color: #FFFFFF;
      margin: 0;
      min-height: 480px;
      overflow: hidden;
      padding: 0;
    }
    

    Cheers, Dave

    Dear David,

    Thank you for your help as it seems that i was in the right direction. The problem it turns out was the old thumbnails and not the code. I was regenerating the thumbnails but not deleting the old versions. Once I deleted the old thumbnails and then regenerated them again. The code worked.

    .home-top .widget.ui-tabs .entry {
    	background: none;
    	border: none;
    	color: #fff;
    	margin: 0;
    	overflow: hidden;
    	padding: 0;
    	/*min-height: 400px;*/
    	min-height: 480px;
    }

    Thank you so much.
    Dave.
