Thumbnail crop is not working

Hello @lvthm,

I see that you got some great advice in that prior thread. Can I confirm what you’ve tried so far out of these options?

1. Confirm Settings: It sounds like your settings are correct, but confirming them is important. Per our docs, open the Customizer, (WP Admin → Appearance → Customizer), and please navigate to WooCommerce → Product Images. If the Thumbnail Cropping is not set to to 1:1, set it and publish your changes.
2. Regenerate Thumbnails: If that doesn’t help, regenerating your shop thumbnails is a good step, and WooCommerce comes with a tool the help you do this. Please go to WP Admin → WooCommerce → Status → Tools, and use the “Regenerate Shop Thumbnails” tool. Alternatively you can use a plugin like the last thread suggested, read more here.

If those steps don’t help, please ensure your plugins are up to date (routinely backup before updates) and temporarily disable off any performance improving plugins which may lazy-load or cache your images, regenerate your shop thumbnails again, and then let us know if you still are experiencing an issue.

Any details about what you’ve tried you can provide are extremely helpful. Thank you!

Unfortunately, the images are still not cropping. After trying the tips, I’ve noticed that three thumbnail images which were fine before are now not cropped as well.

So far, I’ve tried:

– disabling cache plugins
– regenerating images with plugin
– regenerating from WooCommerce tools
– updating all plugins
– thumbnail crop is set to 1:1

The WooCommerce plugin is updated to 6.8.1. Do you think there will be a new update soon that will fix this issue?

Hello @lvthm,

> The WooCommerce plugin is updated to 6.8.1. Do you think there will be a new update soon that will fix this issue?

This is not a common issue with WooCommerce 6.8.1 that we’ve seen reported elsewhere, and is not occurring on my test site. When switching ratios in the Customizer, on my test site I found I had to clear the hosting environment’s object cache between changes, but since you’ve not changed your settings at all and previously cropped items are now appearing not cropped, I suspect there may be a conflict between another plugin or your theme and WooCommerce causing the Product Image settings to not be honored.

The best way to determine if the issue is being caused by a theme or plugin is to temporarily switch your theme to Storefront and disable all plugins except for WooCommerce . Then test to see if the issue is resolved by .

To figure out which plugin is causing the problem – reactivate your other plugins one by one, testing after each, until you find the one causing conflict.

Here’s a more extensive explanation in our docs: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/

Thank you! I’ve tried this with only the cache plugins so I will try deactivating them all one by one. Will I lose information from the plugins by deactivating them?

Hello @lvthm,

Disabling a plugin should not lose any data (themes and plugins are almost always safe to disable and enable freely), but it is never a bad idea to backup your site before testing like this.

If you can use a staging site as I mentioned in my last reply, that is a great place to test since then your live site won’t be impacted by the test at all.

Let us know how that goes!
