Thumbnails wrong in some situations

  • I have a live client site using AutoNav and it works without any problems.

    I also have the identical site using the same version of WP but a new theme and I am seeing problems in SOME posts/pages.

    The live site has a series of specifically sized thumbnail images but in the new version I am deleting all these images so I can use the same images as used in the post. In 90% of posts this is working as expected but in some posts AutoNav is picking up an image from withing the post and ignoring the featured image I have set. I suspect the issue is filename related but I am confused…

    I have images in the post called:-
    shapeshifter-1.jpg
    shapeshifter-2.jpg
    creating-shapeshifter-1.jpg
    creating-shapeshifter-2.jpg
    creating-shapeshifter-3.jpg
    creating-shapeshifter-4.jpg

    If I set the featured image to shapeshifter-1.jpg it picks up creating-shapeshifter-1.jpg. If I set the featured image to shapeshifter-2.jpg it picks up creating-shapeshifter-2.jpg.

    But what is confusing is that I have exactly the same naming convention is ALL posts on both sites. So it works properly on all posts for one site (live domain) and some posts on the other site.

    What is the cause and what can I do to fix this?

    OK. This happens because when the code that chooses the thumbnail for creating-shapeshifter-2 goes thru the list on some systems, it happens to find the shapeshifter-2 thumbnail first.

    The loop that matches thumbnails (and “include=” pictures) will be revised in the next revision to first check the directory for exact name matches.

    Thank you for helping find this.
