[Plugin: WP Retina 2x] Don't detect @2x image

Hi,
Installed the plugin. You say that “Check your Media Library where you can find the new ‘Retina’ column”

Plugin is installed file but i do not see such column. Thanks!

Hi,

All is well. Retina column is showing up. Here is my question.

For example i want a 500 x 250 image in my post. Obviously to show on retina display in high res it would have to be 1000 x 500.

What do i actually upload? Since when i upload 500 x 250 it tells original file is too small and wants me to upload a 1000 x 500.

But when you upload 1000 x 500 it would tell you to upload 2000 x 1000 and so on.

Thank you!

I think we got two questions in the same thread here ?? Okay I will reply to Adrian first:

I know about this issue but I actually don’t really know how to resolve it. Maybe you will have some ideas after reading the explanation below.

Let’s say for example that we only have the medium (300×200) and large (800×600) sizes set-up in WordPress.You upload an image which is 400×300 and WordPress will only create the medium image (it cannot create the large one and it will not tell you anything). Then the Retina plugin will only see that medium image.

It will complain that the image is not big enough, and ask you for a 600×400 image minimum. At this time, you might upload a 800×600 to make sure it’s big enough and WordPress will finally create the “large” image as well. Then of course the Retina plugin will ask for a 1600×1200 image…

I could check all the sizes in WordPress and ask directly for the 1600×1200 image, but depending on which plugin you use or how you use WordPress it might be not the best option. But my plugin getting crazy and asking you for a different resolution each time you upload an image is annoying as well.

What do you think would be the best solution?

Alexislevrai: This is a weird issue. It shouldn’t do that (obviously). On my websites, the .htaccess looks like this:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteRule ^.*\.(jpe?g|gif|png|bmp) /wp-content/plugins/wp-retina-2x/wr2x_image.php [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

When I disable/enable the plugin, it removes this line or add it, that’s all. It wouldn’t change anything else and I’m using the WordPress API to do this so it is quite clean. Mmm, can you contact me directly? (using totorotimes.com). There might be an issue related to another plugin or something, but I’m not sure what.

@adrianviz, there is a new version of the plugin now. The issue is gone ?? Please try.

I think wordpress was not correctly installed.
I re-install WP 3.4.1 and now with you last update it work fine.

I’ll come back here if I encounter other problems.

Okay, super, that’s cool ?? Mark the topic as resolved if it works (if there is another issue, let’s start another thread).
