    Hi,

    Related Posts isn’t showing thumbnails for a lot of my posts. There’s an example here.

    I think this is because a lot of my images are smaller than 150×150 (although all are 150px wide). I don’t have “crop thumbnails to exact dimensions” checked in WP options. So a lot of my thumbs are 150×90, 150×60, etc. I can’t change this.

    Is there any way I can fix this?

  • Hey Geoff, thanks for reaching out & I’ll gladly help!

    I’m afraid there’s no way around this, since our plugin really cannot extract images that are smaller than 151×151 pixels. But if your posts have any other images that are bigger than this, try to set those as features, since our plugin will then use those as your thumbnails.

    Or add new images to your older posts — we have our other plugin called ‘Editorial Assistant by Zemanta’ that loads up as a widget in your edit post page, which analyses what the blog post is about and offers you quality, relevant images that you can insert into your posts by just a click of a mouse.

    Here’s a demo where you can test it out, if you wish not to install it immediately: http://www.zemanta.com/demo/

    And here’s the link to the plugin, if you like what you see:

    Either way — do let me know how it goes or if you have any kind of other questions what-so-ever. I’ll do my best to help you out!

    Take care & have a nice weekend ahead!

    Best,

    Thanks a lot for the response, Silvo. I’m a bit confused by which image the plugin chooses to display. All my images (including the featured image) are bigger than 150px, however the thumbnail is smaller. Is Related Posts still unable to display these images?

    Regards,
    Geoff

    Hey Geoff, sorry I couldn’t get back to you sooner!

    Well, our plugin usually uses the first image (must be as big as or bigger than 151×151 pixels) from the blog post to extract it to your thumbnail (150×150 pixels), but if you set an image as featured, it overrides this rule.

    I looked at your blog to find the problem you were describing but wasn’t able to see any related posts. Did you disable the plugin or am I looking at the wrong direction?

    Let me know, I’d love to help you out! Take care!

    Best,
    Silvo
