Pulls only the original images on WP 5.x

    The problem started after after updating to WP 5 and above.

    Now it only pulls the original image, not the chosen image sizes. It also ignores the separate image size setting, so the pulled original image is not cropped or resized to the specified size.

    I have cleared caches, disabled caching, reloaded, tried another browser, changed the settings in many ways… Nothing helps.

    I can not reconstruct your case on my server. Maybe it is a theme’s thing?

    I upgraded to WordPress 5.0.2 today. And I updated your plugin before reactivating it and I get 120 pixel wide images, but they are stretched supper long. I noticed my length in Media was 9999, but I also use YAARP and it has the correct plugins. All my thumbnails are basically 235 or 236 pixels square in my theme, but then in the sidebar and YAARP I think they 120. I can try regenerating them…

    In the widget itself for unknown reasons the YAARP 120 X 120 was selected but then I think it was overridden by the next two boxes to be 118 by 500. I took a screenshot for posterity, but I appear to be good to go, thanks for making this plugin!

    If the pulldown “Size of thumbnail” is set to “Specified witdth and height” then the two boxes with 118 and 500 are used. At all other options the size as specified there is used.

    Which image size did you set in YARPP?

    The pulldown as you call it was always set to YAARP 120 * 120 for thumbnails. I do not know where 118 and 500 came from, but it did not work with those numbers there. I set them to zero then it worked like before. Maybe I just had to edit the widget a token time.

    As for the media, I think I was considering long skinny thumbnails for better performance when pinned on Pinterest, but I ended up always going with squares because they look better especially on mobile and other social media. I would then include a long skinny image in some posts and pin that. Now I think I’m going full Yoast SEO and I believe he lets you specify which image to share on which social network so you can carefully crop 4+ images. Alas my blog has almost 1000 posts and I do not want to edit them all for search engine optimization purposes, and I don’t want to edit 4000 images.

    I wanted it to run quicker so DISQUS and JetPack are out. Already the spammers have found out I am on plain jane WordPress comments again so I will be reading up on styling and fighting spam without using DISQUS/JetPack. I also have to make sure the content I have does look OK in social media so a simple square thumbnail is fine and looks good in your plugin. So thanks again, when I saw her original post I thought she might be having the same problem as me. After all these years, I think less is more for plugins, so Yoast’s mega plugin worries me but I don’t think it loads much except a few metatags on page load.

    Regenerating the images is always a good idea after new image sizes were introduced.

    By the way: To avoid strechted images please activate the checkbox “Use aspect ratios” in the widget.
