• When I crop the featured image in a post, it says that it has cropped successfully, but the image doesn’t change when I update the post.

    I’ve tried this on the Twentyfourteen and Twentyfifteen theme and both times it doesn’t seem to work.

    This plugin seems perfect for what I want, but I can’t seem to get it to work. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks!

  • Having the same problem recently, and this plugin has been flawless before.

    EDIT: Ok, so I noticed that it failed to save a few sizes (my themes main header), but the other sizes were fine. I checked, and it seems that the image’s starting resolution prevents it from cropping, so I doubled the image size, uploaded and re-cropped – now it works on all sizes.

    Same here. Installed the newest version. Crop and save all three formats and every time I got an successful message, but nothing changes.

    I realized, after playing with this plugin, that my error was of the user variety. This plugin does in fact crop the image, but it won’t change the image type that your page or post theme is using.

    In other words, just because I registered a new image size that manual crop recognized, my post was still pulling in the default featured image size. Manual crop worked as it should, I just needed to modify my child theme to call in the correct image type.

    Thanks for a great plugin.

    I would really appreciate if could describe in short how you have done this. How can I register a new image size?

    I’m using a child theme on Twentyfourteen. I added this to my functions.php file to register a new image size:

    add_image_size( 'featured_image', 1024, 420, true );

    You can then use that new image size in your theme by calling it up with:

    <?php the_post_thumbnail( 'featured_image' ); ?>

    Specific to my use case, I replaced the line of code below in my ‘content.php’ file with the line of code above.

    <?php twentyfourteen_post_thumbnail(); ?>

    Cheers

    Quick addition. The size for twentyfourteen should actually be 1038 not 1024

    This plugin conflicts with Jetpack’s Photon. Try turning Photon off. That might work.
