Hi everyone,
I’m running the Activello theme and after updating WordPress core last week, the featured images I’ve set for my blog posts have stopped showing up on the homepage grid. They still display correctly on the individual post pages themselves, just not on the homepage or category archive listings.
What I’ve tried so far:
- Cleared all caching (both browser cache and the WP Super Cache plugin I’m using)
- Re-uploaded and re-set the featured image on a couple of posts to rule out a corrupted thumbnail
- Switched to a default WordPress theme (Twenty Twenty-Four) temporarily, and the images displayed fine there, so it seems isolated to Activello specifically
- Checked Media > Settings to confirm thumbnail sizes are still set correctly
- Deactivated all plugins one by one, no change
Since it works fine on a default theme but breaks specifically on Activello after a WordPress core update, I’m guessing something in the theme’s template files (maybe how it calls the_post_thumbnail() or the image size it expects) might not be compatible with the latest WP version. Has anyone else run into this after updating, and is there a fix, either a settings change or a small code tweak, that resolves it without losing the rest of the theme’s homepage layout?
