Make galleries use WP large image size, not full-size image

    I do love this plugin – it’s a great way to add nice galleries.

    Is there something we can do to make the galleries use the media library’s large image size instead of the full size image?

    I’m building a site and I have some really too high res images to use. I’d rather not have to process them all before uploading them, especially as WP already produces images at the right size – the large image size would be perfect for me, but it could just as well be other sizes in other situations.

    I just don’t need the galleries to use the full size image.

    Is there something we could add to functions.php or something?

    Many thanks.

    I found a temporary solution to my request.

    In one of the plugin’s files – gss_html.php – on line 17, there is code that controls the attachment size.

    $src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $image_id, 'full' );

    It’s possible to change ‘full’ to ‘medium’ or ‘large’ etc.

    I know it isn’t good practice to change a plugin file, so if anyone could help with some override function code to go in my functions.php file, that would be awesome.

    Thanks.

    Thanks to @reallygreenjames for posting his solution. I just wanted to say that I agree that it would be better to be able to add this as an option to the shortcode so that we don’t have to edit the plugin directly. Is there any plan to update this?

    Actually I edited the plugin to allow for settings the size within the shortcode – @jethin, can I send it to you as a possible plugin update?

    Hi treysea. Thanks for the offer. I’ll try to integrate an image size option into the next version of the plugin. For now I’d suggest either making @reallygreenjames edit or uploading images that are specific to the size of your slideshow.
