Can't Get It To Crop.

  • Please help.
    I am pulling my hair out with an Image Gallery I’m trying to create.
    At present, I’m working with the default WordPress Image Gallery and I can’t get the crop to work right. I want 150X150 thumbnails. Every theme I’ve tried does the same thing. In addition to your plug-in I’ve tried 1 other plug-in and the default WordPress option. Nothing works.
    Sometimes…. when using your plug-in, the whole image will display instead of a thumbnail. Now in the back-end, when viewed in the post editor, the thumbnail looks correct. But not when the post is displayed. I’ve cleared both browser and page cache and regenerated the thumbnails to no avail.
    The featured image will not display correctly either but let’s one problem at a time.

    The image gallery probably isn’t using post-thumbnails. Your theme or plugins are required to use a named post-thumbnail, and you have to crop the same one that they are using.

    For instance if I was creating a pte-image-gallery plugin, I would probably define a pte-ig-thumb post thumbnail and then when I created the HTML for displaying thumbnails, I would get the URL for that post-thumbnail using the_post_thumbnail('pte-ig-thumb');.

    The post thumbnail editor plugin should find all the post-thumbnails being used by your current themes/plugins, and allow you to crop those specific post-thumbnail names.

    OK, thanks for the response.
    Let me see if I understand you correctly……

    You’re saying that my theme may not be using the post-thumbnails?
    The thumbs the pte is showing is:

    thumbnail
    thumb-small
    thumb-standard
    thumb-medium

    And how do I even begin “defining a pte-ig-thumb post thumbnail” and creating the HTML to display it?

    If you are creating your own image gallery:

    1. Use a thumbnail already created (e.g. thumbnail, thumb-small, thumb-standard, thumb-medium) OR create your own with add_image_size()(e.g. pte-ig-thumb).
    2. Get the image tag (html): wp_get_attachment_image( $post_thumbnail_id, $size, false, $attr );.
    3. Put the HTML where you want to display the thumbnail

    Ok Thanks again.
    I did a little looking at the support forums for the theme I’m using and it seems there are some issues with cropping thumbnails.

    I’ll check out there first.
    Thanks

    Just a heads up.
    I got the thumbnails of the WordPress Gallery and the Featured Image to crop but I had to delete everything and use WordPress 4.3.1.
    Maybe 4.4 is just squirrely??
    Anyway thanks for the help and great plugin.
