In reply to: [WordPress Related Posts] thumbnail issue made worse by me, how do I recover?For the benefit of anyone else who stumbles into this thread…
1. The support for this free product is amazing.
2. The thumbnailer is not capable of creating a thumbnail for any image less than 151px in width or height.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WordPress Related Posts] thumbnail issue made worse by me, how do I recover?Silvo – I replied directly to you by email, thank you! For anyone else who might benefit from this topic, my reply (in part) was as follows:

The thumbnail issue is isolated to a single category and if you view this category on the main page you’ll see every post shares the same image as its featured image, a 48×48 png image. I failed to mention (sorry) that until last week this featured image was larger (175×175). I replaced it with a smaller version so that it would display better on the main page.On the post pages, you can clearly see missing images in the Related Posts plugin. There are 6 broken image references and each one should be of the png image.
After typing this up it occurs to me that the real issue might be the small size (48×48) of my featured image. It is already thumbnail size, perhaps that’s why the thumbnail generation is passing it over. Still… I ought to see the default thumbnails and not the broken image links, right?

In reply to: [WordPress Related Posts] thumbnail issue made worse by me, how do I recover?Thanks for the tip about the thumbnail re-generator Silvo. I have that plugin and had already tried it, but I ran it again to be sure and still no luck.
It seems like the problem is either the png file type or orphaned database records which hold reference to the [now deleted] old thumbnails. I don’t know enough about what goes on under the hood to lean either way.
I have not tried deleting the featured png image and adding it back as there are about 50 affected posts. This is a fallback option I guess but not my first or second choice.
Thanks for your help!
