Low resolution image displayed in gallery

    Hi

    The SimpLy Gallery plugin is awesome, and I’d like to use it, but I noticed some odd behavior: in some cases it displays low resolution image, making gallery look fuzzy.

    I see it most often on mobile phones (e.g. Samsung S22 with Chrome, Opera and Firefox) but I can replicate this on desktop with browser development tools.

    I created this test case to demonstrate that issue: http://simplygallery.duckdns.org/2025/01/16/simply-gallery-test/ The first image is fuzzy on some mobile phones, because gallery uses small 300×200 file. When I rotate phone to landscape and then back to portrait, the high resolution image is displayed.

    You can see this on screenshots:

    I can replicate this on desktop Firefox. I open developer tools (F12), enable “responsive design mode” and set device to S20 with resolution of 360×800. I can see in “network” panel, that only low resolution (300×200) of the image is loaded. High resolution is only loaded when I set width to 394 or more.

    This low resolution might not be very visible on desktop, but on the mobile it is pretty obvious.

    Also, note that this issue affects last image in gallery depending on “last row mode” setting. If it is set to “align left”, then last image is sharp. If it is set to “justify”, then last image is fuzzy.

    Could you please have a look into this?

    Cheers!

    What is written there is not what I see.

    When window is narrow, it uses medium. When windows gets slightly larger, it switches to large.

    Have you read my first post?

    As I understand it, you do not understand what images (copies) are used for thumbnails and how they are configured in WordPress. In short, select the correct sizes for thumbnails (in the WordPress settings), and then move on. If this is difficult for you, try another plugin.

    It is clear you don’t know how your own plugin works, and what’s worse, you even don’t care to have a look at problem description.

    I’m glad I haven’t bought the paid version.

    I see such “smart” questions very often and it seems to me that many people can write but do not know how to read and use search.
