The image gallery probably isn’t using post-thumbnails. Your theme or plugins are required to use a named post-thumbnail, and you have to crop the same one that they are using.
For instance if I was creating a pte-image-gallery plugin, I would probably define a pte-ig-thumb post thumbnail and then when I created the HTML for displaying thumbnails, I would get the URL for that post-thumbnail using the_post_thumbnail('pte-ig-thumb');.
The post thumbnail editor plugin should find all the post-thumbnails being used by your current themes/plugins, and allow you to crop those specific post-thumbnail names.
OK, thanks for the response.
Let me see if I understand you correctly……
You’re saying that my theme may not be using the post-thumbnails?
The thumbs the pte is showing is:
thumbnail
thumb-small
thumb-standard
thumb-medium
And how do I even begin “defining a pte-ig-thumb post thumbnail” and creating the HTML to display it?
If you are creating your own image gallery:
- Use a thumbnail already created (e.g. thumbnail, thumb-small, thumb-standard, thumb-medium) OR create your own with
add_image_size()(e.g. pte-ig-thumb).
- Get the image tag (html):
wp_get_attachment_image( $post_thumbnail_id, $size, false, $attr );.
- Put the HTML where you want to display the thumbnail

Ok Thanks again.
I did a little looking at the support forums for the theme I’m using and it seems there are some issues with cropping thumbnails.
I’ll check out there first.
Thanks
Just a heads up.
I got the thumbnails of the WordPress Gallery and the Featured Image to crop but I had to delete everything and use WordPress 4.3.1.
Maybe 4.4 is just squirrely??
Anyway thanks for the help and great plugin.
