Cropped thumbnail not updating

    I have used this plugin before and it used to work, but I don’t know why its not working now on a new wordpress site I am working on.

    I have the following in my functions.php:

    if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) )
{
    add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
    set_post_thumbnail_size( 300, 200, true);
    add_image_size('article-full', 300, 0, false);
}

    I want to enable the user to crop the default post-thumbnail so from the configuration I have hidden the thumbnail and allowed only post-thumbnail to show. (Not that this has any effect, I tried allowing thumbnail too but it doesn’t make any difference).

    When I click on Crop Thumbnail I can crop the thumbnail as I want, and click Save Crop. However, the featured image on the Admin screen of the post and also the post index page which uses the_post_thumbnail() still show the old crop. I am not using any Caching plugins yet. I click Ctrl-F5 to clear the cache just in case but to no avail.

    The strange thing is that if I click on ‘Crop Thumbnail’ again, the Crop Thumbnails dialog box shows the new crop under ‘post-thumbnail’, it is the actual wordpress featured image in admin, and in the actual site that seem to retain the old crop for some reason.

    What could be the cause of this?

    Any word on this? The plugin suddenly started doing this to me too recently and I can’t figure out why.

    Hi jbx,
    sorry for not answering for so long (strangely a became no mail about new posts).
    ——
    You had some really strange behavior on your page. So we have to make some points clear:

    • on “Settings > Crop-Thumbnails”, do you see all image-sizes you are expecting?
    • are all needed image-sizes unchecked?
    • are there any image-sizes with the same ratio or even the same size?
    • what image size had your thumbnail and what size your post-thumbnail

    As far as i understand you have no problem with the following problem?
    Possible Solutions for the set_post_thumbnail_size to use a wrong value or even disappear:

    • the set_post_thumbnail_size is called twice (only the last call will be used) – try to search each call of set_post_thumbnail_size and make an echo output behind the call, to make clear in which order the calls are.
    • or is not called in the correct action-hook (should be after_theme_setup or something similar
    function myThemeSetup() {
	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
	set_post_thumbnail_size( 624, 200, true ); //this will be ignored
	set_post_thumbnail_size( 300, 200, true); //this should be used
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'myThemeSetup' );

    If you found a solution by your own, let me know.
