Thanks for the response. However, I’d already been to that page.

I’m not a “code person.” Unless I missed something on that page, there are no detailed explanations about how to removed Content:Encoded from RSS 2 feeds. (I wish there were a “checkbox” option for that on the WP panel. So much simpler…)

Anyhow, I appreciate the guidance but I’ve no idea how to come up with a functions.php code that would remove Content: Encoded formatting from the site’s RSS 2 feed. Or what to change/remove from the feed-rss2.php file.

Could anyone help me? Many thanks.

Many thanks for letting me know.

For those who may one day run into this problem:

A media library file (gd) was missing from the server and the php install.

They’ve since performed the installation and thumbnails once again can be created. What a relief…

Unfortunately, the problem continues even though I’ve purged the SuperCache/Cloud Flare caches.

Only full-size images are uploaded after they’re “crunched.” No option for choosing other sizes. No option for editing the images.

This is the current code I have in the site’s functions.php:

if ( !function_exists( 'my_theme_support' ) ) :
function my_theme_support() {
  add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
  add_image_size( 'custom_thumb', 150, 150, true);
}
endif;
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_theme_support' );

add_filter( 'post_thumbnail_size', 'my_post_image_size' );
function my_post_image_size( $size ) {
	$size = 'custom_thumb';
	return $size;
}

if (function_exists('add_filter'))
add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'excerpt_thumbnail' );
function excerpt_thumbnail($excerpt){
    if(is_single()) return $excerpt;
    global $post;
    if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
        $img .= '<a href="'.get_permalink($post->ID).'">'.get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'custom_thumb').'</a>';
    } else {
        $img = '';
    }
    return $img.$excerpt;
}

Any other suggestions/possible solutions?
That would be **much** appreciated.

esmi,

Thank you for your response. I’ll be contacting the hosting company right away.

Also, if you don’t mind, any ideas regarding my questions a), b), and c)?

Questions a) & b): The featured image *is* being created, but only in full-size mode. Is there a way to force it to create the featured image as a thumbnail? And ONLY as a thumbnail of a SINGLE, specific size?

Question c) relates to something else: Last night I found out that wp-uploads now has three (or four?) copies of each image on the site, in various sizes. Is there a way for me to get rid of ALL those images EXCEPT for the small thumbnails?? (I already have the full-sized images located elsewhere on the site’s root folder.)

Your assistance — and that of anybody else’s — would be MUCH appreciated.

All plugins were deactivated.

As expected, the thumbnail problem continued…

I’ve since reactivated all of them (about ten).
