Image size in posts is always large / original in WP 2.5 ?

  • After overcoming all other obstacles in uploading media with the new uploader in wp 2.5 (installing IE fix, correcting file permissions after upload), I have one problem left:

    Selecting an image in image and inserting in a post always embeds the image in original size, not thumbnail or medium size as selected in the form (at least if it is smaller then the already often discussed max size). HTML view reveals code that seems to be correct:

    <img class=”alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5″ title=”20080312-0151″ src=”https://<MY_WEBSITE>/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/20080312-0151.jpg&#8221; alt=”” />

    This seems to me as if my longing for thumbnail size was well understood by wordpress… but the image is displayed at original size in the visual editor AND in the saved post later on.

    I already made a new, completely fresh wp 2.5 install with default theme to test this, to avoid any theme related problems.

    Anybody else here with this problem – or a solution?

    YES, I’m having the exact same problem on my “home-made” web servers. I don’t have this problem with WP installs on hosted sites.

    I’ve been trying to find answers to this for days, and it’s driving me crazy.

    The solution for me was two things:

    1. php-gd needed to be installed.
    2. The html folder’s permissions needed to be set to:

    Apache as the owner with create and delete folder access and file access to read and write and Apache as the group with create and delete files for folder access and read and write for file access.

    Hope this helps.

    I too am having this issue.

    I still have it also – the solution suggested by UnswoleLilDude did not help in my case; all necessary libs are installed and folder permissions are correct.

    Anybody with an idea…?
