Media thumbnail size keeps changing

    Hi,

    I’ve had 150×150 for my thumbnail settings under Media since starting my WordPress install about a year ago.

    The other day I changed to have a bespoke thumbnail size in my WP Related Posts plugin to 200×113 and since then this has changed my Media thumbnail settings to that size as well.

    So I’ve changed it manually in my Media settings back to 150×150, and saved it. But then after a while (no calculated time, I can log in and out a number of times with no change), it will change back to 200×113. This keeps happening.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Matt

  • Hi Matt,

    this is strange and should not be happening. I’ll try to recreate this situation and figure out what’s going on. Although we change Media settings when creating custom size thumbnail, but we immediately set it back to the previous settings.
    Can you please provide link to your blog? It might help.

    Thanks.

    Hey again,

    good news: I was able to replicate this issue on our test blog.

    This happens when there are posts with relatively large images for which wp_generate_attachment_data and wp_update_attachment_data functions need a little more time to complete, otherwise you would not have even noticed this. After they’re done, our plugin restores Media settings.
    You can imagine that for many posts with large images this can take even longer and hence you’re seeing your Media settings being set to 200×113…. They will eventually be restored to 150×150, so there’s no need for you to change it ??

    Right now we are working on improving the thumbnailer and I’ll make sure we include the fix for custom size thumbnails. We plan to release the update at the beginning of next week. Stay tuned.

    Take care & have a nice weekend,
    Mateja

    Thanks Mateja! Great news that there will be a fix for it. I only noticed it because when we upload images as a gallery in articles, that’s where I use 150px, and saw the image was being squashed in there!!

    Thanks

    Hey,

    just a short follow up. We updated the plugin, now it doesn’t (directly) use media settings anymore, so I’m closing this topic.

    Best,
    Mateja
