function cvp_theme_field_thumbnail_nolink( $args ) {
	global $pt_cv_id;

function cvp_theme_field_thumbnail_nolink_some( $args ) {
	global $pt_cv_id, $post;

Best regards,

Notice: The Animation tab is created for the first-generation layouts (“Grid” to “One and others”).
For next-generation layouts (“Grid 2” to “Big Post 2”), the Animation tab is disabled. To create an overlay layout, please use Overlay layouts (Overlay 1, 2, …, 8).

In Animation tab, please select “Always” option for the “Overlay Thumbnail With Text” setting.

You can customize the position of the overlay easily with the “Overlay Position” setting.

Best regards,

// Content Views Pro - thumbnail link to its full image
add_filter( 'pt_cv_field_href', 'cvp_theme_thumbnail_link_itself', 100, 2 );
function cvp_theme_thumbnail_link_itself( $href, $post ) {
	$trace = debug_backtrace();	
	if ( !empty($trace[5]['function']) && $trace[5]['function'] === '_field_thumbnail' ) {
		$full_img = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'full' );
		if ( !empty( $full_img[0] ) ) {
				$href = $full_img[0];
		}
	}

	return $href;
}

Best regards,

To use your own image, please add this code to file functions.php in the theme’s folder (or install this plugin Code Snippets then add this code to the “Code” textarea):

// Content Views Pro - Custom default image
add_filter( 'pt_cv_default_image', 'cvp_theme_default_image', 100, 1 );
function cvp_theme_default_image( $args ) {
	$args = 'YOUR_IMAGE_URL';
	return $args;
}

Please replace YOUR_IMAGE_URL with the full URL of your image.

Thank you,

• By default, Content Views will look for the featured image.
• If nothing found, Content Views will display a default image (how to replace default image by your image).

With Content Views Pro, you can show featured image, image/video/audio in post content, image custom field as thumbnail. Here is how it works:

• By default, Content Views Pro (CVP) will look for the featured image.
• If no featured image found (or if you select option to force replacing featured image), CVP will look for image/video/audio URL in post content (how to insert image/video/audio URL).
  If one of these things found, it will be shown as thumbnail.
• You also can select an image custom field to show (read document).
• If nothing found, CVP will display a default image (how to replace default image by your image).

Best regards,

This feature is only available in the Pro version.

Lazy loading for image and iframe will improve performance of page a lot.
To enable it, please check the option “Enable” for “Lazy Load” setting (under Display Settings >> Fields settings >> Thumbnail section).

Best regards,

Since Content Views Pro version 5.5.0, you can easily show image custom field as thumbnail without coding.

Here is the configuration in Display Settings >> Fields Settings >> Thumbnail of the View to show any image custom field as thumbnail:

Content Views Pro version 5.4.1 and prior

For previous Pro versions, to show the custom field as thumbnail, please follow steps below:

• In the View where you want to show the custom field as thumbnail, select the Show Thumbnail checkbox in Display Settings >> Fields settings.
• Under Display Settings >> Fields settings >> Thumbnail >> Substitute, please configure as below:
  
• Add this code to file functions.php of your active theme:

  // Content Views Pro - Use custom field as thumbnail
  add_filter( 'pt_cv_field_content_excerpt', 'cvp_theme_custom_field_as_thumbnail', 999, 3 );
  function cvp_theme_custom_field_as_thumbnail( $args, $fargs, $post ) {
  	if ( empty( $fargs ) ) {
  		$custom_field = 'CUSTOM_FIELD';
  
  		$fval = null;
  		if ( class_exists( 'CVP_CTF' ) ) {
  			$ctf  = new CVP_CTF( $custom_field, $post, true, '' );
  			$fval = isset( $ctf->field_value ) ? $ctf->field_value : $fval;
  		}
  
  		if ( empty( $fval ) ) {
  			$meta = get_post_meta( $post->ID );
  			$fval = !empty( $meta[ $custom_field ][ 0 ] ) ? $meta[ $custom_field ][ 0 ] : $fval;
  		}
  
  		$args = $fval ? sprintf( "<img src='%s'>", esc_url( $fval ) ) : $args;
  	}
  
  	return $args;
  }
  

  (replace CUSTOM_FIELD with name/key of your custom field).

Notice: If you created custom field with Toolset plugin, you may need to add prefix wpcf-. For example, you created a custom field post-image with Toolset plugin, then the value of CUSTOM_FIELD should be wpcf-post-image.

Thank you,

You can show overlay always, on hover or disable it.
Also, you can change position of overlay text as top, middle, bottom of thumbnail.

Requirement

Please ensure to select the Show Title or Show Content checkbox in Display Settings >> Fields Settings. Otherwise, there is nothing to show in the overlay.

Overlay without text

For now, overlay always require text. The workaround to show overlay without text is setting transparent color for the text in the overlay:

• select only 2 checkboxes: Show Thumbnail and Show Title in Display Settings >> Fields Settings
• use this text
  transparent
  as value of Style Settings > Title > Text Color
