Thumbnail Sizes

  • I am trying to figure out how to get my thumbnails to show up as both horizontal and vertical when called for. I have been searching this forum for two days now and cannot find any threads that defines how to do this. I’ve seen a few that talk about similar issues that deal with themes or plugins but not the default settings. I haven’t been able to make anything work. My media settings only allow for thumbnails to be one size either horizontal or vertical but not both. Currently it is set to 150×150. I have tried other sizes but my images always get cut off or distorted. I tried a plugin called Post Thumbnail Editor but that wouldn’t do it either. The only option I can see is to manually change the thumbnail size when I edit the image and then change the thumbnail size via ftp. This is a bit tedious when I have over a hundred photos in my gallery. Can anyone point me in the right direction or tell me if this is even possible to do?

  • The easiest way to do that is to use the add_image_size() function to add the image sizes that you want, and then you can call them in your template files.

    Just a note that after you set that you you’ll want to use a regenerate thumbnails plugin to actually create the thumbnail files.

    Thanks for your reply however I am not fluent in php just html and css. I was really hoping to find a plugin that does what you’re suggesting. Do you know if there is one available? I haven’t been able to find one.

    There’s quite a few.

    Guess I’d better hone my keyword search skills as every keyword phrase I tried didn’t produce one result that was updated on a regular basis. Thanks for your help I will try the only one there that has been updated recently. Appreciate the support.
