Are you logged in? What is the path that that plugin is using? Was it added to the custom file paths setting on the CDN settings tab?
Hi Frederick,
To answer your questions…
It made no difference being logged in or not.
Thumbnails were in standard image location, where other body images were located which worked fine with CDN.
Added the custom files paths which made no difference.
After much search elsewhere and not finding a solution, I coded the related thumbs function directly into my theme which now works.
I had the problem across multiple sites/separate installs, and from googling found others with the same problem and no solution.
I’ve since un-installed the plugin so done have access to it for further troubleshooting. Hopefully the above is enough information is of some use to you for future troubleshooting though?
If you temporarily change to twenteleven and deactivate all other plugins does the problem persist?
Having the same issue, anyone have the solution for this problem?
Interesting!
Related Post plugin prints the images as background image if I print them in img tag the url gets replaced!
on line 333:
$output .= '<div style="border: 0pt none ; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background: transparent url(' . $url . ') no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; width: ' . $width . 'px; height: ' . $height . 'px;"></div>';
I replaced it with:
$output .= '<img src="' . $url . '" width="' . $width . 'px" height="' . $height . 'px;" />';
And it’s working perfectly!
The Author prefers to print the images as background image for many reasons, would be better if the background images will get replaced!
Basically it’s the problem of W3TC plugin not the related post plugin.
So I request @frederick Townes to come up with a patch!
I hope it helps!
Thanks
Hello,
I am having the same problem, black thumbnails constantly loading.
@johnibom, can you please explain a little bit how to make this workaround, i am not into programming 🙂
Thanks!
Hello,
@gashe Please open “related-posts-thumbnails.php” in a text editor and follow the code I posted above.
I hope it helps!
Thanks
Thank you for the replay johnibom
I searched for the file “related-posts-thumbnails.php” but anything similar that i could find is “post-thumbnail-template.php” and there aren’t the lines that you mentioned in your previous post.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help!
Using latest version if the paths start with ‘/’ the replacement is done correctly. Example:
<style>#main { background:#ffffff url(/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/dummy1.png no-repeat right top; }</style>
<div style="background#FFF url(/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/dummy1.png) no-repeat right top">
So changing the original plugin to use such paths might be better if its still an issue. No posts in this thread writes how the paths actually look like.
