This is probably a Javascript error, can you open up a Javascript console using Firebug or Chrome Developer Tools? If so, would you please send me any error or bugs that are reported when you change the thumbnail size. I have had others report similar incidents and still cannot reproduce this bug myself, so its really hard to diagnose.
I found the problem. The maintenance mode plugin was causing a conflict. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/maintenance-mode/
That plugin has not been updated in a while.
I found this simple alternative to adding a maintenance plugin. Add this to functions.php of your child theme.
function maintenace_mode() {
if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_themes' ) || !is_user_logged_in() ) {wp_die('Sorry, We are performing routine Maintenance. We will be back up shortly.');}
}
add_action('get_header', 'maintenace_mode');
Thank you so much for sharing this info! I have exactly the same problem.
I am having the same problem. Whenever I try to change the thumbnail dimensions, I get the same greying out of the “Save” button. Any other fix other than having to add some coding? Thanks!
Hello @thriftdiving, are you also using maintenance mode plugin? If you are then the only solution is what is mentioned above. Maintenance mode plugin has not been updated for a while. You should remove the plugin and find an alternative which is up to date.
Also this support thread is marked as resolved. Could you start a new support thread if you are experiencing any problem.
Kind regards
In no way shape or form is this issue resolved. I’m experiencing the same issue. The button has disabled=”disabled” and a class of disabled on it after I change the values in the input boxes.

It’s ok. I just went into the code and fixed it myself.
For anyone else having this problem, go into the CataBlog.class.php
find this bit of code…
// catalog item images
$values['main-image'] = '<img src="'.$values['image-thumbnails'].'" alt="" />';
change image-thumbnails to image-lightbox. That will give you access to the fullsize images bypassing the forced image resizer.
Now, you can size the image any which way you please on the front end.
😉
Hello talymo, that is good news. What version of WordPress are you running?
Kind regards
Hello talymo, I did some more testing and to tell you the truth I am certain your changes are not correct. I just did some testing on my test site running WordPress 3.6 beta 3 and the latest version of the plugin and it works extremely well without making the changes you suggested above. I also think that, that change might cause another conflict in the future.
I suspect in your circumstances that it is another plugin that is not compatible with CataBlog and causing the button to grey out and or disabled.
Kind regards
