Dear Mihaela:

I was going to post the list of plugins I have on the site, but I’ve been able to reproduce it on a clean WP install with only Classic Editor and Modula running.

In order to serve the images from the “media” subdomain, I have the upload_url_path on the site set to “https://media.bikesharemuseum.com” for all the photos on the site.

When the upload_url_path is set to said subdomain, the srcset isn’t written in the code. When no upload_url_path is defined, as default, Modula’s srcset works as intended.

I tried this for a brief minute on the live site, and then reproduced it on my local, clean, WordPress test install w/Twenty Twenty:

1. I uploaded six images to the test site that are also shared with my live site.
2. I created an all-new Modula gallery with these six images, and the thumbnail size set to 150.
3. I dumped the gallery into a clean test post, and the the 300×300 versions came up in the src as they should.
4. I then went into …wp-admin/options.php ant set the upload_url_path to https://media.bikesharemuseum.com.
5. Checked the inspector; src now defaults to the full-size image.

Let me know your thoughts, and if you still want the plugin list and lightbox settings from the site, even though it seems to be independent of it. The theme, FYI, is a heavily modified version of Bootstrap v.3 Basic.

Dear Mihaela:

It appears as if I erred on one point, as the thumbnail size had been set to 500 (on the particular gallery listed here). However, I’ve changed it to 240, to match up with the “gallery-240” image size I’ve generated for the site (240×0). No difference on the front end according to the Inspector or PageSpeed. Also cleared the browser cache just in case.

I have a duplicate of the site running locally on XAMPP, so I turned off all plugins (minus Modula), created a test page with this specific gallery via shortcode (the bike page is a CPT; I didn’t want to modify Twenty Twenty for the test), set the thumbnail size to 240 on said gallery, and flipped on the Twenty Twenty theme.

Same result – Modula is loading the full size images.

Any ideas?

Solved it – I realized the Meow Lightbox wouldn’t dynamically grab the larger image unless it was generated using wp_get_attachment_image(). Perhaps this shows that my coding knowledge is still very much biased to HTML, and WordPress’ PHP is still a learning curve for me.

Here’s the final code I used:

<?php
$image_url = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'pmount-img4', TRUE ); 
// store the image ID in a var
$image_id = pippin_get_image_id( $image_url );
// get image SRC based on the custom field URL passed as an ID
$serial = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'pmount-serial', TRUE);
// Get serial number and save as variable
echo wp_get_attachment_image( $image_id, 'registry-thumb-4x3', "", array( "alt" => "Schwinn Paramount $serial - Picture 4" ) );
?>

Thanks for the reply.

It sounds if my explanation was lost a bit in translation. It’s been a while since I actually looked at this though, but I think I was referring to the fact that overflow: hidden; is quite difficult to control when I’m trying to apply it on one popup, but not another.

No matter though, I found a workaround and everything is just fine now.

Thanks again!

Just tried it today. No problems updating with v2.9.68. Thank you.

Whoops. You’re right! No wonder that feature caught me by surprise when I first saw it.

Thanks for the detective work – off to run this question by WP Inked.
