I don’t understand what I need to ask the support and it’s not going anywhere. I’ve used several landing page plugins and it was all the same thing with what was probably a very slow response. At the moment I’m using The Ultimate Coming Soon Page plugin. I have no idea if this is javascript or not. If it’s being cached on the server, what needs to be corrected? I’m guessing this has nothing to do with caching plugin on WP.. I’m not using any right now.

I’ll try again. The thing is any other change I make on the site is immediately reflected.

Thanks. I still would like to know what’s up with my landing page though. It actually seems to be working, but it’s responding very slowly. I made changes to it hours ago but it’s still not reflecting.

Yes but I still need to work on the site including the front page. I can’t do this if I’m using the front page for the “coming soon” page.

How do I find out what server cache my host uses?

You mean create a landing page on the theme instead of a plugin? I figured a plugin was the easier way to do, since I can keep working on my site in the mean while.

Seacoast, what is helpful then?

Linux, thanks for all your help. I finally got a response in the theme’s support forum. Apparently, there’s not a way to change the way it crops and resizes without more involved customization, and they are suggesting I hire someone to do that. I did however get an answer on how to turn off the thumbs on the pages/posts and that’s what I’ll do for the time being.

Thanks again!

I don’t see anything on thumbnail in the functions.php, but I have this in custom_functions.php:

/* this function prints thumbnail from Post Thumbnail or Custom field or First post image */
if ( ! function_exists( 'print_thumbnail' ) ){
	function print_thumbnail($thumbnail = '', $use_timthumb = true, $alttext = '', $width = 100, $height = 100, $class = '', $echoout = true, $forstyle = false, $resize = true, $post='')

Now, I don’t know why this says 100 and the actual thumb is 186..

I’m using Chameleon by Elegant Themes. I’ve been asking the question in their support forum too, but I’m not getting an answer. It’s quite possible the theme is overwriting the thumbs settings. One of the pages I’m having troubles is https://www.fgxpressglobalteam.com/training/fast-start-training/

Are you saying the plugin won’t regenerate the image you selected to regenerate a thumbnail for? And you’re looking at the image in the front end, not the back end when you’re saying it didn’t work?

That’s what I’m saying. The dimensions are of course smaller than the original size. I have no cache plugin.

I’m not trying to remove the popup.

I’ve changed the Settings – Media dimensions and tried the plugin and it won’t change it. I renamed the image and reuploaded it, but it still reverts to the same cropping and the size.

The Image popup I was referring to is in the WP admin panel. In the Edit Page, you click on the featured image (or any inserted image) and it’ll pop up a window to edit the image. I tried changing the dimensions there but that won’t work either.

Any other suggestions?

Ah, you are right.. I only need to use the Featured Image on certain pages.

I was referring to the image popup window on each post. You can “Edit Image” and resize it etc. But which overwrites which.. this or the Settings – Media. For what I need though, it sounds like the Regenerate Thumbs plugin will take care of it as long as it overwrites the stored thumbs.. will try that.

Thanks Linux, I don’t have FTP access to this site, so I guess I’ll try the plugin.

So, the dimensions of the thumbs will be what I set in the Setting? Going forward then, can I individually set the dimensions on each page? In case I make a mistake though, is there a way to change them?

That’s it? That’s the entire page? So I make a .htaccess file with this code and upload? I think I may be able to handle that. I’ll keep the rest of the urls exactly the same as my existing ones.
