    Should the slider and featured images elements on the homepage use the thumbnail generated sizes or are they only using the default image size as uploaded? I see all images not coming up with the thumbnail defaults for the sizes of the elements that should be on that page.

    @ospriya: All the images are thumnail generated and do not use the default image size as uploaded. Please post in your site URL and elaborate your issue.

    Can someone help me? It’s been a few days and i’d like to get this fixed.

    When I view the image in the theme configuration by choosing appearance -> customization -> Featured slider i can inspect the element and see it’s using the thumbnail image

    <img class="attachment-thumb" src="https://www.outsidesuburbia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_3292-1024x439.jpg" draggable="false" alt="">

    but when i view the website, all the slider images and category images are the hi-res image – not the thumbnail generated image. I’ve regenerated all thumbnails. Running latest version of theme and i’ve cleared cache and disabled jetpack cdn so they should be served from my server.

    @skandha – anything i can try to fix this short of editing the images manually?

    @ospriya: What you can do is compress your images by using sites like https://compressor.io/ before uploading it on your site. This might help your cause.

    Let me know if this solves your issue.

    I already do lossless compression on my images.. that doesn’t fix it.. Can i file a bug on the theme? It’s definitely not using the right thumbnail image that the docs said it should be using for slider images and category images. The rest of the site seems to thumbnail ok. I can see the thumbnail is generated for the right image size, theme just isn’t using it.

    Hi @osPriya,

    The issue is not with the theme but your slider images. You have 18 slider images each about 2-5mb. The right thumbnail image is only used for Page/Post/Category Slider. When you use custom Image slider, it uses the exact uploaded image. You can resize your images to 1200×514 px. Then compress the image using compressor.io, then use that image for slider.

    So you have two options:
    1. Use Post/Page/Category slider if you want to automatically resize the image
    2. Use custom Image slider and resize, then compress them image manually.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,
    Pratik
