I see the grey now. * It is caused by the div that contains those images being 80px square and the images not being square after cropping. * The easiest way to fix it would be to change the grey background of the div to white. * Find this in your style.css file: * .recent-posts-wrapper .post .post-image { width: 80px; height: 80px; float: left; display: block; background-color: #DADADA; background-position: center center; background-repeat: no-repeat; overflow: hidden; } * and change the background-color to #FFFFFF; * EDIT: * Just realised that you could alternatively change the height to be 100% instead of 80px. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Thumbnails appear half grey](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-appear-half-grey/) * [JohnPope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnpope/) * (@johnpope) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnails-appear-half-grey/#post-7304496) * [https://lavidaluka.com](https://lavidaluka.com) doesn’t work – [http://lavidaluka.com](http://lavidaluka.com) does though. * All of the thumbnails seem absolutely fine from here.

* If so, change them to 644 and then go back into the permalinks settings and save them again. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [WordPress beginner – problems after changing permalinks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-beginner-problems-after-changing-permalinks/) * [JohnPope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnpope/) * (@johnpope) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-beginner-problems-after-changing-permalinks/#post-6970801) * Hi Ruth, * You are almost there. * The .htaccess file in the control panel will be the one you need to change. * You have two options, you can either change the permissions of that file so that WP can write to it, or you can edit the file yourself by copying and pasting the code that you have pasted above into there. * Don’t change or delete anything else in the .htaccess, just paste that after anything that is already (or not) in there.
