Featured Image Being Cropped

  • Hi,

    Site: wp.pivotal-realm-427.appspot.com

    My Theme uses featured images in its slider. When I assign a featured image I cannot change the size at all. I use the size that the slider wants (960×295) when I upload the image. The images displayed in my slider are not the original image. They have been resized and cropped. And it looks like it’s a resize/crop of a thumbnail, not the original image.

    Firebug inspection shows this (the giveaway is the s960-c):
    <img height="295" width="960" alt="Test Image Sizes" src="https://lh5.ggpht.com/msFpXBsa6uRi1MKEHnQGLBOagZBPISm-YQg0DFR-MQNmPx-JPY_skOSuyrKAAwN5heHkvXXt9dtc8IgU5faGVYPTHtwzPWiS=s960-c">

    How can I get my featured images to not resize/crop and display correctly in my slider??

    Could this something to do with the way app engine deals with thumbnails? This is the only info I can find on the subject..

  • This is happening to me too! Anyone out there know how I can revert to the way it used to just take the full image?

    Similar problem here – I’m using a theme that sets a slider to be full-screen by setting width to ‘99999 pixels’. The GAE plugin then creates an img with src="https://lh5.gghpt.com/...=s99999-c" which results in a 404 error. Not quite sure how the GAE plugin is programmed, but anything over s9999-c (e.g. s10000-c, but not s9998-c) for that last parameter results in a 404 error. Setting it to 9999 doesn’t really help either as GAE creates a 9,999 pixel-wide image.

    Thanks to Stuart’s reply in another thread, I was able to figure out a workaround for this. Refer to the code for uploads.php here: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/appengine-wordpress-plugin/blob/master/modules/uploads.php#L340

    Note that if the image does not have a height and width specified, the GAE plugin will not try to resize or crop it. Therefore, if you modify your theme so that it just loads the image as is (“real size”) without specifying dimensions, you should be able to avoid this problem.

    Can you provide some details on how I can reproduce this problem? A theme or a plugin that I can test with?

    Thanks.

    Thanks again for a great tool, am happily up and running WP on GAE!

    Ended up no longer serving images over HTTPS, but in any case this particular issue arose with the slider in the Customizr theme.

    You would need to create a new slider in Customizr to reproduce: https://www.themesandco.com/customizr/
