# Inconsistent thumbnail file selection

 * 2 of my 4 sliders are exhibiting a problem with several of their thumbnails. 
   The thumbnails that are rendering correctly point to ‘filename-150×150.webp’.
   The thumbnails that are working incorrectly point to other versions of the file
   such as ‘filename-420×236.jpg.webp’. All the thumbnails were created with the
   following settings:
    - Auto Thumbnail Images = True
    - Thumbnail Image Size = thumbnail
    - Thumbnail Width = 100
    - Thumbnail Height = 80
    - Thumbnail Position = Bottom
    - Thumbnail Pointer = False
    - Thumbnail Arrows = False
    - Fade Thumbnail Arrows = True
    - Thumbnail Touch Swipe = True
 * There doesn’t appear to be any way to edit the thumbnail path. I have tried recreating
   the slide, recreating the entire slider and recreating the ‘filename-150×150.
   webp’ image file. I’m out of ideas. Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
   Thanks in advance.

 * Hi,
 * When you use Auto Thumbnails, the slider takes the existing thumbnails version
   of the slide image. It doesn’t operate on the name of the files, it just takes
   those existing paths from the database. So please check how those images got 
   those filenames and extension. Maybe you have another plugin which alter the 
   images. If you can’t fix the actual issue, you could try to chose a different
   size for thumbnail image, like ‘medium’; maybe not all versions of the image 
   are broken. Also, the slider allows you to manually specify a thumbnail image
   for each slide. There is a button on the slide panel to edit the thumbnail.
 * Best,
   David

 * Thanks for the prompt and informative response. It looks like the thumbnails 
   exhibit the same problem in the Media Library as well so it’s clearly not an 
   issue with Slider Pro. I’m not sure how to fix the actual issue but your response
   provided some clues and potential workarounds that I was unaware of, which is
   much appreciated.
