Thumbnails blurry, can use "add_image_size" version?

Hi there!

WPP creates thumbnails using WordPress’ core functions, so the results should be the same. Please share your site’s URL so I can take a peek.

Hey Hector

The site is still in development, but here’s the code for the sidebar:

<?php wpp_get_mostpopular( 'post_type="post,recipe"&thumbnail_width=69&thumbnail_height=33&header_start=""&header_end=""&wpp_start="<section class=\'aside-listing\'><h2>TRENDING</h2>"&wpp_end="</section>"&limit=5&range=all&freshness=1&post_html="<article class=\'aside-listing-item\'><div class=\'aside-listing-item-thumb\'>{thumb}</div><div class=\'aside-listing-item-title\'><a href=\'{url}\'><h3 style=\'font-size: 12px;\'>{text_title}</h3></a></div></article>"' ); ?>

And here is the code in functions.php

add_image_size( 'full-page-width', 800, 400, array('center','center') );
  add_image_size( 'small-panel', 386, 193, array('center','center') );
  add_image_size( 'prev-next-thumb', 144, 69, array('center','center') );
  add_image_size( 'sidebar-thumb', 69, 33, array('center','center') );
  set_post_thumbnail_size(800);

In the WPP settings, “Pick image from:” is set to “Featured image” and “Responsive support” is enabled.

If I wanted to use ‘sidebar_thumb’ as my WPP image, how would I do that?

Cheers

Hi there!

Sorry for the late reply. Spent the last three days in bed really sick and just now I was finally able to get online.

If I wanted to use ‘sidebar_thumb’ as my WPP image, how would I do that?

WPP gets the the thumbnail image via the get_the_post_thumbnail() function, passing the configured width & height as parameters so WordPress returns the closest image in size (assuming there isn’t a perfect match). In theory, WPP should be using the sidebar_thumb size as it matches the specified size.

Since your site isn’t online I can’t really check if that’s the case or if something else is going on (like some CSS style stretching the images to a different size, for example).

Thanks Hector, I hope you’re feeling better and I appreciate the time you put into supporting your plugin.
When the site is closer to completion I’ll use a plugin to regenerate all the thumbnails from the featured images (it’s possible the dimensions changed since they were originally created) and if there are still issues I’ll be able to point you to the site.

Get well soon!

Thanks, I’m feeling a bit better already ??

Please keep me posted about it. I’ll lend a hand if you still haven’t figured out what’s wrong.
