Images on a custom page

Hey Sam
First off I understand where you’re coming from with the images… obviously very important for what you’re doing there; and also yay for adoptions and rescues ??

Okay so the problem lies in how the images are put into the content; looks like you’re using a visual composer theme or something. So the image discovery thing in this plugin is fairly simple… if there are images in the wordpress content section it’ll pull them out… if there’s a gallery plugin or a theme that does some sort of gallery (like what i’m assuming is happening here) it doesn’t look for all that as there are far too many variations of plugins/themes to check for.

That said.. I’d recommend adding one image you’d like to be shown on Facebook to each post as the Featured Image. Now… I’m not sure how your theme handles those and if it displays those oddly but… that would allow this plugin to say “hey that’s an important image, let’s use it”.

The next version of this plugin, currently forever in beta (i’m too busy with clients), will be better at sniffing out images but frankly, and again, I can’t test for all themes / plugins. But it will be focused more on the featured image than anything. So you can adjust for your issue now and for the next plugin version by using featured images.

Hope that helps. Take care of the animals and cheers!

Thanks for the reply! There’s no gallery in use on these pages, but the theme does use Visual Composer. Unfortunately though, I don’t know of a way to identify any of the images as a featured image. The images are in an array that I just cycle through and display as follows:

foreach ($pictures as $photo)
			{
				echo "<img class=\"petimg\" src=\"" . $photo["urlSecureFullsize"] . "\">";
			}

Is there something I could put in my code, like a class or id that would indicate to the plugin that these are images that I want to use?

your theme disabled the featured image feature? that sucks lol. The plugin looks through the_content() for images; i’m assuming that loop doesn’t filter the_content and adds them before or after the_content().
See if you can’t work in an image into the content box when editing the post in wp-admin so it’s picked up? #option

Oh no, my theme still has the featured image feature, it’s just that this page exists kind of outside WordPress..if that makes sense. Sorry, I’m not really explaining this well! Basically this page is a PHP script I wrote and uploaded, then assigned to the animal page via the Template drop down. So it doesn’t use any of the WordPress functions, mostly because this is my first foray into WordPress and I’m not all that familiar with the functions. But, based on what you said, I now have a lead at least! I’ll look at the_content() and see if I can’t figure out how to get that integrated into the script I wrote. Thanks again for your help!
