    Hi, the plugin is great, however I noticed, that when I tun on the widget for top rated posts and I enable the option to show thumbnails, it shows the full size image and scales it down. Can we instead maybe show the smallest size or maybe option to choose a size? Since this puts a lot more traffic on the website, and it slows it down a lot. Some of the thumbnails mightbe 10-12mp images and it scales them to 50×50 for isntance.

    Hi @wdas,

    The Top rated posts widget gets image url via get_the_post_thumbnail_url function which looks for post-thumbnail image. Maybe you don’t have post-thumbnail image registered? You can register it with add_image_size function.

    Nevertheless, it’s in plan to add a custom image size within the plugin for Top rated posts widget. It’ll be added in the next update.

    Best regards,

    I am not sure what you are suggesting to register. My theme has thumbnails and i can choose which I want to show with the few sizes – thumbnail, medium, large etc. However I am not sure how to this inside of the top rates posts widget. So I guess it should be a part of the code of the plugin, when displaying thumbnails to display the smallest size, since it is showing in the sidebar, which allows for 50×50 or maybe max 150x150px.
