Jetpack Top Posts Pixelated Thumbnails

    Why is Jetpack using crappy, pixelated thumbnails when doing the top posts widget? That has annoyed me to no end. I want proper, clear thumbnails, not some low quality rubbish that I presume you are compressing the crap out of. At least give me the option to use those.

    Hi @astronerdboy –

    The Top Posts widget is designed to display images at 40×40 when you chose the Image List setting. I see that you have custom CSS on your site that is increasing the size (max-width: 100% !important), which is scaling up the smaller images and making the issue more apparent. I would suggest displaying the thumbnails at their intended 40×40 size.

    Alternatively, you can follow this guide to adjust the size of images in the Top Posts widget:

    Please note that we cannot provide support for custom code as it is outside our scope of support.

    If you would like to submit an enhancement request to get this functionality built into Jetpack, you can do so on our GitHub repo:

    I used this code, but I had to change it from 600 to 300 in order to start displaying all thumbnails correctly

    `function jeherve_custom_thumb_size( $get_image_options ) {
    $get_image_options[‘avatar_size’] = 600;

    return $get_image_options;
    }
    add_filter( ‘jetpack_top_posts_widget_image_options’, ‘jeherve_custom_thumb_size’ );`

    Hi @astronerdboy

    Thanks for reporting back! You can edit those parameters as you’d like to see what fits your specific use, and I can see that you’ve settled with 300.

    I’ll mark the thread as resolved as you are all set, but do let us know if you need help with anything else.

    Best,

    I’m done, but I did have to lower the number once more as I still had the odd thumbnail show as my avatar rather than the featured image thumbnail. Not sure what that parameter does.
