[Plugin: Get the Image] Get the image is only downscaling image!

  • When using get-the-image plugin i only get a downscaled version of the original image.

    when using the:
    'default_size' => 'thumbnail',
    i get the full size image.

    why doesnt this plugin select the wordpress generated version?

    it seems that justin tadlock(creator) only answers on his own forums and you have to pay 25$ to see answers from him.

    My page was 18megs because it selected the full size image!

    Does anyone know how to do this?

  • The Get the Image plugin does no downscaling of anything. If your page was 18MB, that’s because that’s what the plugin was told to grab.

    if i in the custom field thumbnail insert a image with the measures of 1024×768 will it only downscale?

    an with the plugin selecting the first image. will it get the thumnail, medium or large?

    images get saved: 295, 600 and 1024 pixels as max width and full.
    i paste the URL of the “raw” image in custom field. is that wrong

    <?php get_the_image( array('default_size' => 'thumbnail', 'width' => '200', 'height' => '200', 'image_class' => 'left') ); ?>
    gives this:
    Dimensions: 900px × 480px (scaled to 200px × 200px)

    If you combine get the image with timthumb you can use timthumb to scale the image properly. I posted the code for how I do it on https://pappmaskin.no/2010/03/how-to-make-the-wordpress-plugin-get_the_image-work-with-timthumb/
