Even if you use Elementor, you can just go to the regular WordPress edit page (don’t choose edit with wordpress though) and set the featured image using the featured image… feature. Click save and it will apply it. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[OceanWP] change footer background image in OceanWP/Elementor](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-footer-background-image-in-oceanwp-elementor/) * Thread Starter [Andy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andythreecoaching/) * (@andythreecoaching) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-footer-background-image-in-oceanwp-elementor/#post-10747726) * Here’s a screen shot of the code and the part of the site affected in case that helps: * [https://imgur.com/a/bspPJd9](https://imgur.com/a/bspPJd9) * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[OceanWP] change footer background image in OceanWP/Elementor](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-footer-background-image-in-oceanwp-elementor/) * Thread Starter [Andy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andythreecoaching/) * (@andythreecoaching) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-footer-background-image-in-oceanwp-elementor/#post-10747598) * See, there’s some complicated code surrounding the footer. I’m suggesting that you can’t just hard code it because the oceanWP theme is doing all kinds of stuff with the footer. It’s just such a damn shame that you can totally change the background color but not the background image in the UI. Here are two examples of how the footer’s background is tied up in other code: * `$footer_background = get_theme_mod( 'ocean_footer_background', '#222222' );` * ``` // Footer background if ( ! empty( $footer_background ) && '#222222' != $footer_background ) { $css .= '#footer-widgets{background-color:'. $footer_background .';}'; } ``` - This reply was modified 7 years, 7 months ago by [Andy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andythreecoaching/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] edit thumbnail hasn't worked properly for months now](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-thumbnail-hasnt-worked-properly-for-months-now/) * Thread Starter [Andy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andythreecoaching/) * (@andythreecoaching) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-thumbnail-hasnt-worked-properly-for-months-now/#post-6992377) * Hi, * Thanks for the response. I’d prefer not to clear the image cache as all this does for me is cause all the thumbnails in my gallery to lose their crop and then, seeing as I can’t just update the crop in the back-end, I have to pull down all the thumbnails and edit them manually and re-upload. Very time-consuming. * Not sure what is meant by re-insert the specific display? * I have two sites that are almost identical where one won’t let me edit the thumbs at all. You tried suggesting a few things in a previous post, I did those and none of them worked, so I think it might need someone at your end to look at it specifically? * Thanks * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] edit thumbnail not working – updated WP and made it even worse](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-thumbnail-not-working-updated-wp-and-made-it-even-worse/) * Thread Starter [Andy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andythreecoaching/) * (@andythreecoaching) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-thumbnail-not-working-updated-wp-and-made-it-even-worse/page/2/#post-6842982) * [@photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) Hi Cais, * I just deactivated my plugins as you suggested, there were only two: akismet and formidable. That didn’t do anything. This site, as I mentioned before, is sort of twinned with another site that’s damn near identical save for a few jpegs, so it’s not the theme as that other site works fine. * Likely this is a job for the dev team to investigate! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] edit thumbnail not working – updated WP and made it even worse](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-thumbnail-not-working-updated-wp-and-made-it-even-worse/) * Thread Starter [Andy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andythreecoaching/) * (@andythreecoaching) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-thumbnail-not-working-updated-wp-and-made-it-even-worse/#post-6842977) * Cais, * I mean that when I click on ‘edit thumbs’ absolutely nothing happens. No pop- up, nothing. * The only buttons/links that do what they’re supposed to are ‘view’ and ‘delete’. All others do nothing. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] edit thumbnail not working – updated WP and made it even worse](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-thumbnail-not-working-updated-wp-and-made-it-even-worse/) * Thread Starter [Andy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andythreecoaching/) * (@andythreecoaching) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-thumbnail-not-working-updated-wp-and-made-it-even-worse/#post-6842969) * Hi Cais, * So I’m back to my original problem now which is that when I click on ‘edit thumb’ it does nothing and any image I add ends up full size amongst the gallery thumbs on the front end. * How would you like me to proceed with this issue? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Photo Gallery, Sliders, Proofing and Themes - NextGEN Gallery] edit thumbnail not working – updated WP and made it even worse](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-thumbnail-not-working-updated-wp-and-made-it-even-worse/) * Thread Starter [Andy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andythreecoaching/) * (@andythreecoaching) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-thumbnail-not-working-updated-wp-and-made-it-even-worse/#post-6842943) * Hi Cais, * I have an interesting case. Two almost identical web sites, one that does not have this problem, one that does. * [http://www.architecturalvisualisation3d.co.uk/](http://www.architecturalvisualisation3d.co.uk/)( has the problem) * [http://www.architecturalvisualizationseattle.com/](http://www.architecturalvisualizationseattle.com/)( does not) * Not sure if this helps you guys out in any way.

Thanks so much for your help! * I checked with my hosting company and they said I’m not even registered with cloudflare.
