tumbnail grid photos all squared

[cactusauvage]

Hello @arminunruh ! I found an old topic here http://laythemeforum.com:4567/post/10947 explaining how to squared images of the thumbnails cover of a project.

I don't have that much of knowledge in code and CSS but when I try to add this line of code in appearance -customize - CSS, it's cropping all the images of the website. How to crop only the pictures of a project thumbnail gridd ?

For an exemple, on this website, all images are alignes the same ratio but when you clic on the project, the images recover their normal ratio

Thank you for your help !!

@arminunruh Is this also possible for the Element Grid with images in it?

[arminunruh]

.type-elementgrid .ph {
    padding-bottom: 50% !important;
}

.type-elementgrid .ph img {
    object-fit: cover;
}

Hi Armin,

I’m trying to implement the following code to adjust the image aspect ratio in the thumbnail grid:

.type-thumbnailgrid .ph {
    padding-bottom: 50% !important;
}

.type-thumbnailgrid .ph img {
    object-fit: cover;
}

However, this doesn't seem to work at all. Even after adding !important to override styles, it still doesn't apply the intended changes.

I’ve also noticed that many other custom CSS styles I’ve added don’t seem to have any effect, as if Lay Theme’s internal code is always overriding them.

Is this the case? Are there any additional steps needed to make custom CSS work properly in Lay Theme, or is there a particular method to override the theme’s built-in styles?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

whats the link to the page where this css should be applied?
i always need a link for where the problem exists

if none of your css is applied, you can check if your css is written incorrectly

for example if you have opening braces: { without closing braces afterwards: }
this can mess up all of your css

@arminunruh hello @arminunruh , thank you so much for your respond...

Unfortunately, it's not seem to work inside the project, here are a few examples :
This is the element grid project view with no css

This is inside the project with no css

This is the element grid on project view with the code you provide, as you can see it's working well

But inside the project, the images are size up too....

for images and videos in elementgrid:

.type-elementgrid .ph{
    padding-bottom: 100%!important;
}
.type-elementgrid img,
.type-elementgrid video{
    height: 100%!important;
    object-fit: cover!important;
    object-position: center;
}

for thumbnailgrid:

.type-thumbnailgrid .ph{
    padding-bottom: 100%!important;
}
.type-thumbnailgrid img,
.type-thumbnailgrid video{
    height: 100%!important;
    object-fit: cover!important;
    object-position: center;
}

i tested this, for me it works

@arminunruh thank you Armin for your help, I might have a problem because it's still croping the images inside the project..

I might abandon the idea of squared photo for thumbnail project ^^

Thank you for your time and your help !
