In reply to: [Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Thumbnail Crops and JetPackThe URL is http://nflpastplayers.com.
But after some investigating and experimentation apparently the Photon module of JetPack has some caching going on that will screw with thumbnails that you use some plugins to edit.
Making Photon inactive fixed my issues.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Hueman] Changing the thumbnail size for Single-Sidebar LayoutNo, bd.
I’m sorry, I should have been more specific.
When the single-sidebar layout is chosen the images in the main content are smaller (220×220) than images when using a layout with 2 sidebars (images are 320×320).
How can I fix it to where the images in the main content are 220×220 (or whatever is equivalent) when using a single-sidebar layout?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can't Change Crop of Thumbnails in GalleryWell, there’s more to than that I’m afraid.
It’s still working but after delving into it a little more (thumbnails actually reverted back to original crops) there seems to be issues with Jetpack (specifically the Photon module) and the Regenerate Thumbnails Plug-in. Turning Photon off and not regenerating the thumbnails seems to work.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Hueman] How do change the crop position?Well I posted a little to quick.
Cropped images have reverted back to the goofy crop.
But……………..
All was good until I activated JetPack.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can't Change Crop of Thumbnails in GalleryJust a heads-up.
Got the thumbnail’s to crop using Post Thumbnail Editor but on WordPress 4.3.1.
Don’t know if a problem with 4.4 or what.
Anyway, thanks for the help.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Post Thumbnail Editor] Can't Get It To Crop.Just a heads up.
I got the thumbnails of the WordPress Gallery and the Featured Image to crop but I had to delete everything and use WordPress 4.3.1.
Maybe 4.4 is just squirrely??
Anyway thanks for the help and great plugin.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Hueman] How do change the crop position?Guess What????
I actually got the thumbnail to crop.
I took down everything, deleted the database and started over…. but with WordPress 4.3.1 and used Post Thumbnail Editor and just followed the instructions. One thing I do want to point out is I DID NOT change any of the settings in Post Thumbnail Editor. Don’t know if that made a difference, but it’s working now. And when I first tried the Editor it gave me some errors about not finding some image sizes. I went through with it anyway and it came out fine. And I was also able to edit the featured Image Thumbnail as well.
And again, Just a reminder that it was with WordPress 4.3.1, not 4.4.
Oh, and the thumbnails are displaying at 200X200 as well instead of 320X320. Maybe that’s making a difference as well.
Now if I could just get NextGen to work.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Hueman] How do change the crop position?WOW…all this time I thought it was just me!
I don’t feel so alone now.I have been trying to set up an image gallery for almost a month now and I am about to pull my hair out! I am so with you. It is absolutely ridiculous that it should be this much trouble ……. for everything, not just thumbnail crops!
Believe it or not, NextGen actually did a good job of cropping the thumbs, so I know it’s possible. The author of the Post Thumbnail Editor gave me some pointers. I might look at them again to see if I can figure them out.
And I looked at that link you cited. You may be right about what you said in an earlier reply…. about where the crop is positioned. I’ll try it again.
Thanks BD .. I appreciate it.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Hueman] How do change the crop position?I was under the impression that the ‘center’, ‘center’ was X-Y coordinates for the crop — but hey, I could be wrong.
As for “array” …. I have no clue. I was just copying what I saw on one of those references. But one thing I find odd, the thumbnails being generated for the galleries are 320×320 in size. Does this have anything to do with anything? I don’t know.
I am creating the galleries with the default media gallery that comes with wordpress. I have tried at least 10 image gallery plugins and none of them are what I’m looking for — and yes, I tried NextGen and while it comes close to what I want to do it isn’t going to work.
I did look at those Codex notes (look at Crop Mode, that’s where I got the idea for center, center) and I am thoroughly confused. What I need to see is examples of what I’m trying to do and just where the heck they go!Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Hueman] How do change the crop position?Well, I read those resources and took in as much as I could comprehend.
I added the followed the “Change Thumbnail Size” as per the instructions…… copied and pasted to my functions.php file in the child theme. Changed the
add_image_size( ‘thumb-small’, 160, 160, true );
to
add_image_size( ‘thumb-small’, 150, 150, array( ‘center’, ‘center’ ) );
regenerated thumbnails, cleared cache….. no difference.I tried the plugin you suggested (that makes the 3rd so far) ……. no difference.
My head hurts.
The galleries I’m trying to set up are:

In reply to: [Post Thumbnail Editor] Can't Get It To Crop.Ok Thanks again.
I did a little looking at the support forums for the theme I’m using and it seems there are some issues with cropping thumbnails.I’ll check out there first.
ThanksForum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Hueman] How do change the crop position?Thanks.
I will look at those resources.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Post Thumbnail Editor] Can't Get It To Crop.OK, thanks for the response.
Let me see if I understand you correctly……You’re saying that my theme may not be using the post-thumbnails?
The thumbs the pte is showing is:thumbnail
thumb-small
thumb-standard
thumb-mediumAnd how do I even begin “defining a pte-ig-thumb post thumbnail” and creating the HTML to display it?

In reply to: Can't Change Crop of Thumbnails in Gallery@adeline, I was trying NextGen before I even started this thread. It was actually displaying the crop correctly, but with the latest WP update I knew it was screwing up. That’s why I was trying out the WP default gallery.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can't Change Crop of Thumbnails in GallerySo there is a problem with NextGen.
I was trying it out and started having lots of problems after the last update of WordPress. The NextGen forum tried to say it was a plugin conflict.
NextGen was the one thing that was handling the thumbnail crop right. It just couldn’t do anything else I needed.
