I already had the “Advanced Custom Fields” plugin installed
( https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/ )
so I just added a thumbnail field to my post type in the admin and the template itself. That way my portfolio listing template looked for the thumbnail image instead of the main display image it did at first.

I think the reason the crop-thumbnails plugin wasn’t working for me was because I was developing the site locally and there must have been permission or set up issues with it. I didn’t take the time to dig into it that thoroughly.

I changed my theme to require two different images, one display and one thumb. It got the job done as I was under a time constraint. I’d have really liked to use the crop-thumbnails plugin but it didn’t seem to want to save the crop so I had to move on. Thanks though.

I ended up not using the plugin and going a different route.

I’m having the same issue and the solution above didn’t fix/resolve my issue. I created the /tmp folder inside the /uploads folder and I made sure that it is writable but the “save crop” button still doesn’t change the image. Is there something I’m missing?
