Title: Thumbnail size Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Thumbnail size * Resolved [kevjon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevjon/) * (@kevjon) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-size-38/) * I love your gallery plugin it does just what I need. However, I find the thumbnails rather too large on the page. They are about the same size as the Lightbox images. Can I change their display size? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/maxgalleria/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/maxgalleria/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Thread Starter [kevjon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevjon/) * (@kevjon) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-size-38/#post-5735960) * Just to add: the size with 4 columns is about right, it is with 2 columns that the size is too dominant. * Plugin Author [AlanP57](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alanp57/) * (@alanp57) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-size-38/#post-5736054) * Try adding * .mg-image-tiles .mg-thumbs.mg-twocol ul li { height: auto; width: 250px; } * To your theme’s CSS. If your theme has the ability to add custom CSS, enter this there. Otherwise add it to your theme’s style.css file. * This will change the thumbnail size for a two column layout. * If this solves your issue, please mark this thread as ‘Resolved’ and please be sure to rate our plugin at [Maxgalleria Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/maxgalleria) * Thread Starter [kevjon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevjon/) * (@kevjon) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-size-38/#post-5736068) * Thanks but it doesn’t work. I tried different widths. The theme is a child of Raindrops, with it’s own style.css. It doesn’t work in the theme css either. The gallery sets the width to the full page, so for instance a 1 column gallery fills the whole page width, which is far too much! With 3 or 4 columns it looks OK. * Look here (many pages have 2 column galleries) for example: [http://beaconhillbenefice.org.uk/beguildy/features-inside/](http://beaconhillbenefice.org.uk/beguildy/features-inside/) The first image is about the size I want. * Plugin Author [AlanP57](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alanp57/) * (@alanp57) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-size-38/#post-5736087) * You can also add a custom style sheet under the gallery Advance tab that should override the default Maxgalleria CSS. There you could add the earlier CSS along with with ‘!important’ modifier: * .mg-image-tiles .mg-thumbs.mg-twocol ul li { height: auto; width: 250px !important;} * Thread Starter [kevjon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevjon/) * (@kevjon) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-size-38/#post-5736104) * Thanks but I’m not really clear here. 1. Advanced tab is in each gallery. I have 35, so I have to do this in every one I assume. 2. Advanced tab requires a URL, so I then have to make a new style.css somewhere. How do I do this? There doesn’t seem to be a way in WP editor to make new files. I’m reluctant to go messing about in my public_html folder! * Plugin Author [AlanP57](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alanp57/) * (@alanp57) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-size-38/#post-5736115) * All I can do is give you suggestions on how to customize MaxGalleria. Perhaps you could hire a consultant who can assist you in making adjustment to your site to fit your requirements. * Thread Starter [kevjon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevjon/) * (@kevjon) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-size-38/#post-5736130) * OK noted. I think you might consider this for a future update. * Thread Starter [kevjon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevjon/) * (@kevjon) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-size-38/#post-5736154) * Just for your info: I added a style.css as you suggested and it works. The images are not the nice square format that you provide normally, but their natural shape. * However the images are then left aligned. I tried adding text-align:center; to the css. When added at the bottom of the file it does nothing. When added at the top of the file we get the large images centred, still in their natural shape. * I don’t expect anything further from you, just thought I’d let you know what I found in case it helps!
