[Plugin: WordPress Popular Posts] Shows wrong size of thumb

Hi lillprinsen,

Mind sharing a screenshot of your current setup of WordPress Popular Posts? Need to see how you have configured your widget as I’m unable to reproduce the bug here.

Still unable to reproduce the bug using your configuration. You’ll have to help me out with some debugging, ok?

Please download this beta version of WordPress Popular Posts 2.1.1 and install it on your blog. Let me know when you’re done so I can check your site again.

Thanks lillprinsen,

I’ve checked your site’s code and apparently while WordPress Popular Posts is passing the right width/height to the get_the_post_thumbnail function, for some reason it ignores the passed data on some posts and sets width/height to 100.

I’m not 100% sure, but this could be a WordPress bug instead. Will look around and try to report it to the devs, maybe they can help us out.

In the time being, here’s a suggestion: set your thumbnails’ width/height via CSS. To do so, open wordpress-popular-posts/style/wpp.css using an editor such as Windows’ Notepad or Adobe Dreamweaver and change this:

/* thumbnail styles */
img.wpp-thumbnail {
	border:none;
}

… into this:

/* thumbnail styles */
img.wpp-thumbnail {
	width:240px;
	height:100px;
	border:none;
}

That should work.

For now, there’s not much I can do since this seems to be more a WordPress problem than a WPP issue. Will keep an eye on this, though.
