Title: [Plugin: SidePosts Widget] Thumbnails Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: SidePosts Widget] Thumbnails * [jlatiolait](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jlatiolait/) * (@jlatiolait) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sideposts-widget-thumbnails/) * Great plug-in! The ONLY one I found that does what I need, display a thumbmail… 2 things: 1) How to do control the generation of thumbnails displayed on this sidbar. 2) Will we be able to use this more than once on one sidebar soon? * Thanks again for this plug-in. * Joe * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sideposts/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sideposts/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Thread Starter [jlatiolait](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jlatiolait/) * (@jlatiolait) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sideposts-widget-thumbnails/#post-1023709) * Sorry, I need to change the size of the thumbnail??? * [Txanny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/txanny/) * (@txanny) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sideposts-widget-thumbnails/#post-1023730) * DO you mean the images inside a post? This is not controlled by the plugin and the sizes are the same ones in the post. * The size for image thumbnails in a post is an option inside WordPress. So, if you are going to publish posts with images in the sidebar, setup a thumbnail size that fills in your sidebar. * Thread Starter [jlatiolait](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jlatiolait/) * (@jlatiolait) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sideposts-widget-thumbnails/#post-1023860) * thank you for the fast reply! media/settings thumbnail is set for 150 X 150. yet, the thumbnail being generated from a larger image inside the WP post when placed in your widget is 100 X 75. now, when i used a different style this thumbnail was larger. i think i just answered my own question. the style i’m using may have it’s own settings… just the same, can you throw me a bone and tell me if i’m on the right track or how to this? thanks again. * Thread Starter [jlatiolait](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jlatiolait/) * (@jlatiolait) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sideposts-widget-thumbnails/#post-1023862) * OK, i just did a search for anything set to 100 (thumbnail width) in my theme– nada! do you know where is this being set? * Thread Starter [jlatiolait](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jlatiolait/) * (@jlatiolait) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sideposts-widget-thumbnails/#post-1023928) * The thumb images are being reduced in size when using the widget in excerpt mode. This is the issue! I’m thinking the next step is to try an excerpt-image plug- in… any addtional feedback would be appreciated… * [Txanny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/txanny/) * (@txanny) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sideposts-widget-thumbnails/#post-1023931) * By design, WordPress does not show images nor thumbnails in excerpts. Excerpts are plain text only. * The only way to show images in sideposts is to publish full posts. After that, you have two ways: 1) Set WordPress to generate thumbnails at desired size, or 2) Upload the image at the size you want and post it in full size. * This have nothing to do with the widget. The widget just displays the post “AS IS”, I mean, the Widget displays the post as WordPress generates it, and the images are part of the post. The only difference posting on the sidebar, is that you have a really small space to display the post. * Thread Starter [jlatiolait](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jlatiolait/) * (@jlatiolait) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sideposts-widget-thumbnails/#post-1023958) * Thumbnail for Excerpt — this plugin will insert the image in the SidePost in except mode. NOTE: THIS IS WHERE YOU SET THE THUMBNAIL SIZE. I was trying to set it via WP. jzzz.
