TimThumb & Temple Gate

Wrong use of timthumb.

You have:

<a href="https://ablemagazine.co.uk/the-challenge-of-inspecting-home-care/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to The challenge of inspecting home care">
<img src="https://ablemagazine.co.uk/wp-content/themes/templegate/scripts/timthumb.php?src=<img src="https://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2012/3/21/1332338624072/lady-in-care-home-003.jpg" />&w=200&h=150&zc=1&q=100"
alt="The challenge of inspecting home care" class="image" width="200" /></a>

You should have:

<a href="https://ablemagazine.co.uk/the-challenge-of-inspecting-home-care/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to The challenge of inspecting home care">
<img src="https://ablemagazine.co.uk/wp-content/themes/templegate/scripts/timthumb.php?src=https://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2012/3/21/1332338624072/lady-in-care-home-003.jpg&w=200&h=150&zc=1&q=100" alt="The challenge of inspecting home care" class="image" width="200" /></a>

How would I change this? I don’t see any preferences. This is how timthumb ran out of the box.

This theme use Custom Fields.
You must add new eg.: name: image, value: https://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2012/3/21/1332338624072/lady-in-care-home-003.jpg

Thanks, that certainly does fix it.

But why has it put all my old images inside <img src=””> inside the custom fields? Is there any sort of script I can run that’ll remove all these double quotes? (I have 1000+ posts)

by sql queries?

update wp_postmeta set meta_value = replace(meta_value, ‘<img src=”‘, ”) where meta_key=image;
update wp_postmeta set meta_value = replace(meta_value, ‘” />’, ”) where meta_key=image;

Getting the following error when trying to run those queries

#1054 - Unknown column 'image' in 'where clause'

Can I run

update wp_postmeta set meta_value = replace(meta_value, '<img src="', '');
update wp_postmeta set meta_value = replace(meta_value, '" />', '');

?

sorry

update wp_postmeta set meta_value = replace(meta_value, ‘<img src=”‘, ”) where meta_key=’image’;
update wp_postmeta set meta_value = replace(meta_value, ‘” />’, ”) where meta_key=’image’;

-it should work.

‘961 row(s) affected. ( Query took 0.0206 sec )’

Woohoo, Thanks – you just saved me a lot of work! ??

….but update your timthumb! last version: https://timthumb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/timthumb.php

…and change allowed sites

if(! isset($ALLOWED_SITES)){
	$ALLOWED_SITES = array (
		'ablemagazine.co.uk',
		'static.guim.co.uk',
	);
}

This works for posts already made. But all new posts autoblogged post are corrupt the image.

How can I change it so that the <img src=” “> isn’t posted in the field in the first place?
