Thumbnail gif issue

Thank you for replying so quickly !

Heres a link of what shows –

As you can see there are no other options for full size and so on. The problem is that before it was working perfectly fine. When i uploaded a 100 x 100 and set it wordpress didn’t resize it to another gif with the exact same size 100 x 100.

The only points after hours of looking i can pick out is that a new month folder opened form /3 to /4. The ones uploaded in /3 didn’t have any resizing and work. Any new 100 x 100 gifs uploaded into /4 are resized to 100 x 100 1 frame gifs.

Thank you once again for taking the time to help.

Nope, as the site is custom made.

And no again the settings are all the same.

What i also remember i installed but have completely removed manually is W3 Total Cache.

It seems as W3 Total Cache causes alot of issues hence i have manually deleted it completely off FTP and wordpress.

Unless it has modified or added some coding im not too sure if it is caused by that.

Could it be any file permission error?

I appreciate your help as every bit of information counts.

Yes, all images are resized to fit featured images. Any image is automatically resized to fit 100 x 100. The settings i’ve inputted. BUT sizes that are already 100 x 100 should NOT be resized as why would they need to?

This is how i was able to upload GIFs to featured images by uploading the file size of the featured image size.

But all of a sudden wordpress has started to resize image sizes fit for the featured image size.
100×100 images to 100×100
This isn’t a problem if i was using JPG but for GIFs it loses its animation.

I don’t feel it has anything to do with attachment options as they were like this prior and before.

i’ve nailed it down to something to do with –
The code grabing the image uploaded then checking its size and if its correct it shouldn’t resize but instead now it decides to resize all.
I’m not sure how the code of this could have changed and i don’t get know what to change for this.

i know its got to do with get_post_thumbnail or so on but as im not a programmer i can’t seem to fix it !

Thanks! hope that was clear

Nono don’t apologize. Im grateful to have you help me.

Yes that is correct. WordPress automatically grabs a static image unless it is the same size apparently. Well that was the case before when my GIFs uploaded previously through feature images worked.

The first image displaye din the blog post? what does this mean could you elaborate.

Resolved. Finally.

This was the issue

Our functions.php code now looks like this:
Wordpress simply copys the image and changes the title which is useless and 1framed the gif. Thanks for helping EMG.

add_theme_support(‘post-thumbnails’);
set_post_thumbnail_size( 100, 100, true );
Obviously, you don’t have to use 100px x 100px, so change the functions parameters to suit your theme layout/design.

Note that this function does not create a new 100px x 100px version of the Original image on your server – it simply adds height and width attributes of 100px to the IMG tag, which is output by the_post_thumbnail(), and lets the browser do the resizing. This has two major drawbacks: firstly, the Original image could be huge meaning that your page load time will be affected and, secondly, browser resizing rarely creates great looking images.
If you don’t specify a “post-thumbnail” size using set_post_thumbnail_size(), the Original image will be displayed – which is probably NOT what you want. We’ll look at a better way of handling the display of Featured Images next…
