Some hosting companies have paranoid security levels, which means certain aspects are disabled.

If you edit thumbnailer.inc.php
at line 383: Change

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
to
// curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

and If you edit thumbnailer.inc.php
at line 426: Change

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
to
// curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

The // will comment out that bit of the code, and stop it from causing the errors. I’ll investigate this more for the next release.

Thanks

Hello.

Unfortunately, when it comes to codepages and alternative languages, I don’t know a great deal. If you can solve the problem, I’ll integrate the changes with the plugin.

Dan

Hello,

Thanks for your message.

I think deleting the stylesheets needing to be deleted from the settings is a touch excessive – a poor design choice on my part. I’ll add a setting (tickbox) to disable the plugin CSS in the next release. That will also fix the bug.

Thanks
Dan

Hmm, having checked the code, I suspect why this is happening. Could you send me your email address via the contact form here:

And I’ll send you a version to test with to check I’ve fixed it.

A new version (V1.16) has just been uploaded that provides the width selection feature.

A new version has just been uploaded that provides the date ordering feature.

Yeah, I understand about feedback, thanks. Something that most people don’t see is the emails I get every month, that’s what I complain about. Not decent users like you.

A completely custom cache location is possible, but would probably cause headaches for users. I think I might add a setting to choose either location (mentioned above), making wp-content the new default.

I’ve got a long list of features to add to the plugin, so the next release is going to be a biggy.

Dan

Currently no, the width and height are dynamic. Did you want a setting to allow it to have a matched width (or height?)

Dan

Also bear in mind that any thumbnails are just a local cache, I make no claim that they are permanent. The plugin requires a URL for a screenshot, implying that it can get at it if it needs to.

Once your donation clears, I’ll refund it, as it leaves me feeling uncomfortable.

Dan

I need much more information to debug this please. What image(s) did you use, what were they resized to, what’s your URL? etc.

My guess is that the plugin is working as intended by resizing your images to maintain aspect ratio, resizing it to match the maximum sizes of your chosen thumbnail size.

So if your chosen thumbnail size is (for the sake of argument) is 200 x 150. Then due to aspect ratios, a resized custom thumbnail is unlikely to be the same 4:3 ratio, so will be limited either by width (so 200px in width with a height smaller than 150px) or limited in height (so 150px, with a width smaller than 200px).

Dan

This is really odd, simply because I’ve not changed the setting names in a VERY long time with this plugin. Could you give me MUCH more information please? What version did you upgrade to and from what? Exactly what settings were lost?

With regards to losing your cache, I think this is because this is the normal behaviour of WP. When you upgrade ANY plugin, it deletes the whole directory first before installing a the new version. So this is not a bug with my plugin. The cache directory is in the plugin directory, hence why it got flushed when the whole plugin directory was removed.

A solution to this would be a way to have a cache directory within /wp-content/wpp-cache rather than /wp-content/plugins/wp-portfolio/cache/ – but it’ll be a nightmare to migrate everyone on upgrade though.

Understood about requests and demands. Just understand that it’s very demotivating when I do receive a lot of rude requests, and I have considered removing the plugin completely because of those comments/messages I get. Thanks for taking the time to spell out your request and emphasising it’s a request.

Dan

Hello

This is now on the to-do list and will be in the next release.

Thanks

Hi Jesse

I had a very basic list with newlines:

— Start —
This is why you should join my list:

• Reason 1
• Reason 2
• Reason 3

— End —

The result was
all over the place, particularly after each li.

Thank you so much for great feedback! That’s really made my day!

Dan
