First of all my apologies if I in any way came off as ungrateful to any wordpress plugin developers. I think it’s the greatest thing going, and the spirit of this has lead me to develop a site that’s a free information portal and free website database for artists.

I’ll fix the problem and change my vote to works and write a good review.

Thanks for your help.

All best,

Willy

I think I know the problem… ShrinkTheWeb.com has changed their model for non-paying customers to not allow for local caching of thumbnails they generate.

Something to do with that. I’m not a techy-

I solved the problem by going into the advanced settings, and put in “custom thumb URL” for all 17 of the sites in my portfolio, using an image from each site. It was kind of a bitch, but I don’t like waiting around. I actually think it looks better anyway.

It’s not so much a problem solver as a problem work around.

Good luck- and hopefully the team at WP Portfolio will fix the problem.

I thought I had gone through them one by one, but obviously hadn’t. It was the Social Bookmarks plugin causing all that trouble!

I’m so happy it’s not something important to me- deleted it and loading between 4-6 seconds now.

thank you!
