Post Carousel shows grey area instead of NOTHING

[Green thumb]

Hi there.

I’m trying to show last posts on my home page so I added Blog Post Carousel on the site. The problem is that if I don’t set image under Post thumbnail type under Thumbnail Options the post is shown as grey area.

If I set image under post thumbnail type on home pa ge is image. But if I don’t there is just grey area. How do I resolve this?

I’ve attached images if it’s unclear.

P.S.
For the time being I use a workaround, displaying none figure in css:
.blog-items figure {
display: none !important;
}

But that’s not a solution! as I’d like some thumbnails if I want them to be there.
Any ideas what’s going on?

Seconnd question. Is showing latest posts/news by adding blog post carousel to the front page the only way?

Hi,

I don’t think the carousel would work properly if that space would not be reserved – Ed, can you confirm?

For posts on the home page, you can also set your Blog page as the front page in Settings/Reading. Or, add a blog element from the Page Builder, to your current front page.

Aha thanx. So use all thumbnails for all posts or for none?

You could try adding the following custom css, this would remove the minimum height for the thumbnail area. Give it a go and if it works for you then great!

.recent-post figure {
min-height: 0;
}
