Changing Image size – separate from WP Media settings

    Is there an easy way to adjust the image size beyond the options in the dropdown? For example, my site creates thumbnails at 150×150 but I’d like to use them at 70×70 in the newsletter… I don’t want to fool around with the settings in MEDIA because my site uses the 150×150 currently… It would be great if, after choosing the origina image source (thumbnail, medium, etc.) I could further constrain the image size… I believe that would also allow for 2x retina images to be used as well.

    Just a thought. If there is an easy way to do that by manipulating a bit of code in the plugin, I’m all ears.

    Cheers.

  • Hi Mike,

    You could override the image CSS in the plugin code, i.e. to force 70px wide images add the width CSS to the css code output:

    case "left-wrap":
		$featured_images_in_rss_css_code = 'width: 70px; float: left; margin-right: 5px;';

    Another feature I’ll look at adding to a future version…

    I’ve tested this and Outlook ignores the sizing in the style= section…

    For example, here is the html that gets inserted into the feed:

    <img width="150" height="150" src="https://abc.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/Pandora-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Pandora" style="max-height: 65px; max-width: 65px; float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 5px;" />

    Outlook is showing the original 150×150 image.

    Is there a way to replace those original width=”150″ height=”150″ with something else OR remove them altogether?

    I’d recommend creating a separate media size for RSS in Settings > Media, then regenerate thumbnails, then select that size in the Featured Images In RSS options. That way Outlook should only see that size you want for the feed. WordPress will generate the various sizes for different uses automatically. You can use 150×150 for your theme, and a different size for RSS/Outlook. That’s the only way to override Outlook’s image sizing since it uses HTML and tables, and doesn’t use CSS it seems.
