   Hello,

   I've been posting on this forum a few times with various problems but my questions have been unanswered. I'm still struggling and since I need to get the new website online by Monday, help would be greatly appreciated:

   1) I want to make my videos bigger in the lightbox. I know this has been discussed elsewhere, but I'm a newbie with Wordpress and don't know where to find the code that will allow me to make them bigger, instead of having the lightbox sizing them down.

   2) I also have the blurry thumbnail problem in the portfolio. I read it's a because the browser resizes them. If I resize my thumbnails in Photoshop before uploading them, will it solve the problem? If so, where can I find the exact size of the thumbnails in pixels? (It's a 4 columns portfolio).

   Here's the temporary link to the website
   http://66.147.244.141/~jhprodco/

   Many thanks in advance,
   Jeremy

   Hi,

   2.) To fix the blurriness of the thumbnail, you can do this. Open function.php and find this code

   $avia_config['imgSize']['portfolio'] = array('width'=>465, 'height'=>346); // images for portfolio entries (2,3,4 column)

   Below that add a new thumbnail size and name it "portfolio-thumb". Adjust the width to 232px, note that this size is only good for the 4 column portfolio.

   $avia_config['imgSize']['portfolio-thumb'] = array('width'=>232, 'height'=>173); // images for portfolio entries (2,3,4 column)

   After that go to includes folder and edit loop-portfolio.php and find this code

   $image_size = 'portfolio';

   Replace it with the new thumbnail size that we just created.

   $image_size = 'portfolio-thumb';

   You need to regenerate the thumbnails. Remove history and reload the page.

   Regards,

   Hello again,

   To prevent lightbox from resizing your images and videos, open wp-content\themes\angular\js\prettyPhoto\js\jquery.prettyPhoto.js and find this code

   allow_resize:true

   Set it to false

   allow_resize:false

   Hi Ismael and thanks for your quick reply,

   I did 2) exactly as you described - but no change, the thumbnails become soft as soon as the page has finished loading.

   As for 1), I replaced the JQuery file on my FTP with the info you gave me, no change either. I cleared history, made sure the embed video size was bigger than the lightbox, but the lightbox still keeps it at the same size. Please help,

   Thanks
   Jeremy

   Hi,

   For number 2 you need to regenerate the thumbnails or upload them again.

   For the lightbox, I have no idea how to fix it so I think I will tag the rest of the support team to help you out.

   Ismael

   Hi,

   I am sorry, but there is a better forum from the developer of the prettyPhoto component http://forums.no-margin-for-errors.com/, with a large community of experts more qualified than I am to help you customize prettyPhoto.

   Thanks,

   Nick
