    Hello,

    I have two blogs and I am using the pinboard theme on both. I just love the theme! πŸ™‚
    On one of my blogs the featured image is displaying properly on the home page (www.VolunteerWeekly.org). It extends to the end of the grid and the size depends on the size of the actual featured image.
    but on the other one – http://www.myweekendkitchen.in – it is just getting shrunk to a small rectangle. I have wordpress 3.5.1 on both the blogs.
    What could be the issue?

    Really appreciate your help!

    Thanks
    Ashima

    That happens because images are small in size. They need to be at least 320px in width in order to stretch the full block.

    Thank you for your response Daniel but all my images are big in size. I’m using the same image as in the post for featured image also and all of them are bigger than 320px in width.
    Still now able to figure out why this is happening in this blog and not in teh other one when I am not doing anything different πŸ™

    Please help!

    It may be that a previous theme generated smaller thumbnails. Try using the plugin AJAX Thumbnails Rebuild to regenerate the thumbnails.

    Thanks Daniel,

    But I didn’t explicitly generate any thumbnails. does the featured image option generate thumbnails automatically? And I have had this theme from the start.

    As you suggested I installed the AJAX Thumbnails Rebuild and rebuilt all featured images, but it is still the same. All the featured images are appearing small. πŸ™ What should I do?

    Sorry for troubling you so much and I really appreciate your help!

    Thanks!

    Yes, themes generate thumbnails automatically and when you switch themes it’s possible that they are out of shape. Although I have checked the website and they are indeed the correct size now.

    Try adding this ruleset in style.css:

    .entry-thumbnail {
    	margin: 0;
    }

    Hello Daniel,

    Adding that line, removed the margins and it works now on http://www.myweekendkitchen.in ! πŸ™‚ But I haven’t added the line to my other blog (www.Volunteerweekly.org) and it’s still fine there. Wonder why it broke on one while it was fine in the other one.

    I don’t understand coding, so won’t trouble you more now that it is resolved πŸ˜€

    Thanks a ton!
