Really hoping someone might be able to help me out with this 🙂
Please let me know if there is any clarifications I need to make on what I’m asking…
Hey Jenny,
sorry for not replying sooner and thanks for reaching out!
Would you be so kind and make a screenshot of (y)our plugin settings? Have you ticked that use “custom size thumbnails” and set the size? Maybe this article will help: http://support.zemanta.com/customer/portal/articles/1380559-how-can-i-change-the-size-of-my-related-posts-thumbnails- .
Looking forward to your reply,
Petra
Hi Petra!
Thanks so much for getting back with me! Here is a screenshot of my settings: http://tinypic.com/r/s3hefb/8
I don’t believe I need any of the custom CSS since the CSS only determines how the thumbnail appears on screen. I have a fully responsive site, and the thumbnails display a different sizes depending on device.
Where my problem is laying is that the generated thumbnail is the wrong size. I want it to be 280×167 (which is what I have in the “custom size thumbnail” settings), but instead it’s generating all of them at 150×89.
For Example:
Here is a thumbnail that the plugin is displaying: http://edenknowsimplants.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/stylish-circle-jersey-dress1-150×89.jpg
But this is the one it should be displaying: http://edenknowsimplants.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/stylish-circle-jersey-dress1-280×167.jpg
I hope I’m making sense. Any ideas why it’s not choosing the correct thumbnail?
If it’s helpful, here a screenshot of my Media settings as well. Thank you!

Is there anything else I can provide from my site that would help?
Hey Jenny,
sorry for the late reply and thanks for getting back to me!
You still need to write the CSS unfortunately. It says “If you want to use custom sizes, override theme’s CSS rules in the Custom CSS section under Theme Settings above”.
So, just tick that box next to “Enable custom CSS” and enter:
.related_post_title {
}
ul.related_post {
}
ul.related_post li {
width: 280px !important;
height: 167px !important;
}
ul.related_post li a {
}
ul.related_post li img {
width: 280px !important;
height: 167px !important;
}
Don’t forget to save the changes!
Let me know how it goes, take care,
Petra
Hi, Petra! Hope you had an awesome New Years 🙂
Unfortunately, the CSS change didn’t work. While it did stretch all of my boxes out to 280px wide, it still used the 150px wide thumbnail. Which of course created very pixelated thumbnails.
WordPress is generating the thumbnail size I am specifying just fine, but I’m not understanding why the plugin isn’t using it—even though I’m telling it to in the settings.
To make sure we are on the same page, the plugin is still using this thumbnail:

Instead of this thumbnail:

Hey Jenny,
New Years was great, tnx 🙂
I am sorry to hear thumbnails are still not fixed. Would it be possible to make me a temporary account on your blog, so that I can check things out, up close and personal? You can send those credentials to support[at]zemanta[dot]com.
Let me know what you think,
Petra
