WP Post Thumbnail 0.1.8
WP Post Thumbnail plugin adds an image upload, crop and save panel in ‘Write Post’ screen. It allows you to easily upload a .jpg image file. Once the image file is uploaded, you can crop it before saving it as your thumbnail. That’s it.
Spend less time messing around with Photoshop everytime you need to make a thumbnail (or two) for your post. Also, saves you time and trouble from manually copy-and-pasting uploaded image URLs into custom key value fields.
For theme developers, particularly magazine-style WordPress theme developers, you can configure up to 3 different thumbnails to be used in each post. For instance,
- a big 320px by 180px widescreen thumbnail for leading featured post to be displayed prominently on the front page.
- a square 125px by 125px thumbnail for recent posts.
Dimensions as varied as your theme requires can be easily configured in an XML file. Save the file as ‘wppt.xml‘ and put it in your theme’s folder (ideally, the main folder but any folder will do). WP Post Thumbnail will scan your theme folders, look for your theme’s ‘wppt.xml‘ file and read your theme’s thumbnail(s) configuration.

Installation
1. Copy the `wp-post-thumbnail` folder into your ‘wp-content/plugins’ folder.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. That’s it.
Note: This plugin requires your upload folder (default: wp-content/uploads/ ) to be writable. Make sure this folder is write access enabled.
The default thumbnail is 160px by 90px which floats to the top left corner of the content of your post.
If your WordPress blog uses a theme that comes with pre-configured set of thumbnail(s) to work with this plugin, the theme’s folder should contain an XML file called ‘wppt.xml‘ created by the theme developer. In this case, it will override the default thumbnail. For theme developers, more information on how to configure WP Post Thumbnail for your WordPress theme can be found in FAQ.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I am developing a WordPress theme. How do I configure WP Post Thumbnail to work specifically for my theme?
Theme developer’s flow illustration (250Kb).
Opens in new window.
A: This is the purpose of which WP Post Thumbnail is written for. The current version of this plugin assumes that you, as theme developer, have basic knowledge of writing a configuration file in XML format and calling/placing the thumbnails’ custom field value within your theme.
For the visually inclined, click the thumbnail on the right to open an image that illustrates basically how theme developers can use WP Post Thumbnail to handle thumbnail(s) in their WordPress themes.
I have included a sample XML configuration file in the plugin’s main folder called ‘wppt.xml‘:
wppt.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <wp-post-thumbnail> <pft_widescreen> <name>Widescreen</name> <desc>Recent posts</desc> <width>270</width> <height>110</height> </pft_widescreen> <pft_square> <name>Square</name> <desc>Category post and more</desc> <width>150</width> <height>150</height> </pft_square> <pft_rectangle> <name>Rectangle</name> <desc>Latest featured post</desc> <width>390</width> <height>270</height> </pft_rectangle> </wp-post-thumbnail>
The above sample XML file configures 3 different thumbnails titled <pft_widescreen>, <pft_square> and <pft_rectangle>. The node titles are also used as custom field keys to call specific thumbnails to appear in your theme. For instance, to get the square thumbnail:
Say, in your WordPress theme’s single.php:
<img src="<?php get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pft_square', true); ?>" />
Each thumbnail has four properties:
<name> specifies a friendly name to appear in the thumbnail tab in ‘Write Post’ area.
<desc> a short description about the thumbnail
<width> thumbnail width in pixels
<height> thumbnail height in pixels
IMPORTANT: All fields are required!
Save your file as ‘wppt.xml‘ and put it in your theme’s folder (any folder will do). Blogs that uses your theme, and has WP Post Thumbnail plugin activated, will detect your ‘wppt.xml‘ configuration file.
Q: Where are all the cropped thumbnails stored?
A: They are stored in ‘wp-post-thumbnail‘ folder inside your WordPress default upload path. Eg. '/wp-content/uploads/wp-post-thumbnail' by default.
Hi Stanley, Great idea for a plugin. I’m just having a slight problem. In the post admin, I keep getting the error ‘No such file or directory’ on lines 14 and 15 in /wp-content/plugins/wp-post-thumbnail/wppt_admin.php. I’ve made sure the wp-content/upload directory has write access and deactivated/reactivated the plugin several times.
Again, this is great idea to make blogging in WordPress easy for us common folk.
Hi,
Looks great but not working for me.
Options ae not dipslayed and when trying to open WP Post Thumbnail tab, I get these errors
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in /home/pip/www/wp-content/plugins/wp-post-thumbnail/wppt_admin.php on line 14
Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: No such file or directory in /home/pip/www/wp-content/plugins/wp-post-thumbnail/wppt_admin.php on line 15
Looks awesome, no more image software needed for cropping a single image, nice! Sure gonna try out.
David & MisetreB
Sorry about the error. I think I have spotted the bug and fixed it. Try downloading the plugin again.
Well, I’m using Post Thumb plugin in my theme and it nearly the same concept (everything is automatic even crop but I cannot choose wich part to crop). As Post Thumb seems not to be developped, it’s a nice solution of substitution. But I will have to create all the thumbs for old posts ? Too bad…
Could you give some more code examples of where you might put the code in an index page? I’m trying to figure out if there is a way I can use this in the Hamasaki theme, but I’m a little lost: http://www.jauhari.net/themes/hamasaki
—————————————-
Stanley: I downloaded Hamasaki theme for a quick glance. Hamasaki theme doesn’t make use of custom fields to assign thumbnail to posts. It looks for attached images, the first image attachment if I’m not mistaken, to be used as thumbnail.
What you should look for in Hamasaki theme’s index.php is this:
<?php$id =$post->ID;
$the_content =$wpdb->get_var("SELECT post_content FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = $id");
$pattern = '!<img.*?src="(.*?)"!';
preg_match_all($pattern, $the_content, $matches);
$image_src = $matches['1'][0];
?>
<div class="tumbr" style="z-index:2;margin-left: 10px;float:right; width: 295px; height: 190px; background: url(<?php if($image_src != ”) { echo $image_src; } else { ?><?php bloginfo(’template_directory’); ?>/images/no-img.gif<?php } ?>) 0 0 no-repeat; content: ".";"> </div>
If I were to modify Hamasaki’s theme to use custom fields, I’ll decide on a name for the thumbnail’s custom key. Eg. “myhamasaki_big_thumbnail”. Go to the parts of index.php that deals with thumbnails, replace the code above with this:
In the featured section:<?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'myhamasaki_big_thumbnail', true) ) { ?>
<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'myhamasaki_big_thumbnail', $single = true); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" width="295px" height="190px" />
<?php } else { ?>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/no_thumbnail_295_190.jpg" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" width="295px" height="190px" />
<?php } ?>
The code calls up ‘myhamasaki_big_thumbnail’ custom field value. If not found, shows a default no-image-found instead.
I don’t know if such a brief example if of any help to you. I’m not familiar with Hamasaki theme but I suspect you’d have to meddle with its CSS too as you can from the code, the author puts the thumbnail into a <div> class’s background image.
I can’t make the translation work. I just took the wp-post-thumbnail.po and translated it in spanish-venezuela and saved it like wp-post-thumbnail-es_VE.po with the adecuate wp-post-thumbnail-es_VE.mo, wich I uploaded to the languages directory of the plugin, but impossible to have it work. I have es_VE established in my wp-config.php file and other translated plugins are working ok. Can you help me?
Stanley: Sorry Nestor. I’ve made changes to the SVN to fix a typo error in the code. Can you download the plugin and try again, please? And thanks for taking the trouble to translate the plugin.
Hey, great plugin! One suggestion though: I would love to be able to control the quality of the thumbnails (like wordpress 2.6 does).
Thanks Stanley, now it is working perfectly for translations. But i just want to point some phrases that are not being translated. I saw at the code that they are not marked for translation, they are: “Default thumbnail left corner of content”, “thumbnail is not found. Make one :)”, “and click Upload”, “Save thumbnail”, “Saving”, “Delete”, and “Deleting”. It Would be great if you could fix them.
Great plugin, you save a lot of time for the most of the wordpress users.
Stanley,
Great work. It should really encourage theme developers to start using more complex layouts as your plugin enables post creation easily.
I tried it today, on a fresh 2.6.2 install, and i ran into some problems. I upload a picture, i crop-reize it, but when i save it i get this: ““Widescreen” thumbnail is not found. Make one :)”, and the image appears once again for crop resizing. Also, if i go to Write -> Post, the same images appaears again on a fresh post.
Any ideas on how i can debug this?
Thanks for the update but I delete initial plugin, upload new files and got the sames errors
Hi Stanley!! I just fixed the strings. I marked the strings for translation and it is working ok. I repackaged the whole plugin with all of the changes included, my spanish translation and a changes.txt files reflecting all of the changes I made to the files.
Due to there is no option to contact you by email I posted the package in rapidshare and publish the link in here.
http://rapidshare.com/files/156286056/wp-post-thumbnail.rar.html
Check it.
Sorry, I forgot to compile the .mo files in the previous package, download this instead.
http://rapidshare.com/files/156288329/wp-post-thumbnail.rar.html
Stanley: Hey, thanks! I’ll include your language files in the following plugin update.
I have the exact same problem as tricky. It keeps showing “”Widescreen” thumbnail is not found. Make one :)”, although the thumbnail is actually created.
I’ve just realized that this happens when you’re writing a post for the first time, but not when editing an existing one.
Stanley: I’m looking into this as I write. It had something to do with adding custom fields before a post is saved issue. When writing a new post, save your post first before adding custom fields. WordPress auto-saves your post as draft as soon as you write a post title.
Best to leave making thumbnails the last thing you’d do when writing a post. Or at the very least, write a post title for auto-save to kick in, then make thumbnails.
Fixing this is on top of my list of to-do stuff.
I’m to sure if this is the place to report bugs, but here you have two more:
- The “style” tag added to header hasn’t got the “type” attribute, so it’s not XHTML-compliant.
- Images with extension other than “jpg” (e.g. “jpeg”, “JPG”) are not allowed and maybe should be.
Can’t seem to get it to work with a custom XML file. I followed all directions and I’m just getting a blank wp-admin page when the XML file is in place.
Any ideas? Thanks for this awesome plugin!
Stanley: Bug noted. In the meantime, you may wanna look into MacDojo.com digging into the codes and hardcode the thumbnail(s) configuration.
I click the button to find the picture, choose a small jpeg file 25k and then click upload. It just spins forever and nothing happens.
uploads dir is chmod 777
anything else that may cause this prob?
Is this plugin meant to be working now? I just receive a message saying that my picture has uploaded successfully, but that is all. No cropping, no other options and more importantly, no image in my post : (
Im running wordpress 2.6.2 with an alteration of the kubrick theme, I have also ensured that my directory is writeable,
Great idea though,
Nick
Hi Stanley. I suggest you to add the atribute type=\”text/css\” to the string:
echo "<!--in wppt.php line 237
It was causing my site to stop validating as XHTML 1.0 Strict.
I added it and now it’s perfect
Stanley: It has been fixed as the missing type declaration was pointed out by another commenter above. The fixes will also include problems with creating thumbnail directory in the next update.
BTW, I’ve emailed (gmail) you two days ago.
Getting the exact same issue as shawn earlier; The loader graphic is in limbo. The image does get uploaded to the post thumbs directory, but never displays properly. I’m running WP 2.6.3.
Im using this plugin so that my news moderators can upload our own images and have the ability to use this plugin instead of the themes custom fields, I can upload, I can save file everything saves alright but it doesnt show on the news post? Any Ideas to point in a direction. Im using the Revolutions Pro Media Theme.
I’ve installed this plugin on a local installation of wordpress running at LAMPP (Ubuntu server) and it’s working, but on wordpress running on XAMPP (windows XP) it doesn’t show the image crop area: this could be a same problem with Shawn and Solomon (comments above). Any idea why this is happening? WP Files on my LAMPP and XAMPP are the same.
I got it to work using the default call string because when i put the wppt.xml file in any of my template directories i get this error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: simplexml_load_file() in /homepages/13/d254053766/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/wp-post-thumbnail/wppt.php on line 137
If anyone knows anything please give me a shout at teamhgn@gmail.com
Anyone else get stuck on the upload process? My photos won’t upload after cropping.
Админчег
У меня к тебе небольшое предложение, хоть и не по теме блога 
Напиши пожалуйста свой обзор передачи Гордон Кихот. Особенно прошлый выпуск, про Шансон.
Спасибо
Удачи дружище
After i succesfuly used the script for two days, today i have a problem. Image still loading… when i upload for cropping
”
WP Post Thumbnail
Loading original image for cropping …
”
Plugin deactivated, reactivated. Nothing happend.
Image still loading…
I have rebooted the server, nothing hapend. Image still loading.
What’s the problem?
Hey just to tell that I have the same pb than Vincent, I solved it removing the xml file from my theme directory and modding the wppt.php file :
line 167 :
$wppt_thumbnail_options = array(
‘wppt_widescreen’ => array(
‘name’ => ‘Widescreen’,
‘desc’ => ‘Default thumbnail left corner of content’,
‘width’ => ‘160′,
‘height’ => ‘90′),
‘wppt_square’ => array(
‘name’ => ‘Square’,
‘desc’ => ‘Default thumbnail left corner of content’,
‘width’ => ‘90′,
‘height’ => ‘90′)
);
Happy codding !
Hi, great plugin, it really helps me a lot.
Yet I have one issue on the blog I am using it for.
Somehow the thumbnail won’t get written to the custom field, there is no field created at all. I am although modifying the custom fields displaying with the plugins “More-Fiels” and “WP-CMS Post Control”, and I have deactivated the post revisions.
Have you ever experienced the same bug?
Stanley, I didn´t receive your mail with the plugin corrected, pls, send it again. it is causing me the problem to create the folder in upload directory
I just downloaded the last version and it is working ok, I will send you the spanish translation to your mail.
shawn and Chris, have you figured out anything to fix the getting stuck part? I’m seriously dying to use this plugin!
Why can’t I see all those options for cropping the picture? I installed it and apparently I did it well, I get the box for uploadinng the pictures but that’s it, I don’t get more options, for resizing or cropping.
Same here as Shawn, Chris, Solomon. It´s getting stuck after uploading an image.
It says it uploaded, ../uploads is 777, but it didn´t upload any picture, there´s nothing in the folder & custom fields are not created.
The area for cropping/resizing is not appearing after the “upload”.
Using WP 2.6.3 live, backend with both with Firefox and Safari on a Mac.
It´s a really, really great plugin! Hope any input can help to make it work. Thank you!
I have same problem as frank: “Why can’t I see all those options for cropping the picture? I installed it and apparently I did it well, I get the box for uploadinng the pictures but that’s it, I don’t get more options, for resizing or cropping.”
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Yeah I’m having the same problem. It uploads the image then gets stuck at “Loading original image for cropping … “
I am having the same problem, and have figured out a small piece. On my server, the upload is failing because the $imgFilePath variable in wppt_upload.php is not being set correctly (the full path is needed). If I use the following replacement on line 46, the file uploads properly:
$imgFilePath = realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . ‘/../../uploads/’.time().’_’.$userfile_name;
Event though the file now uploads (verified via FTP), I still don’t get the options for resizing/cropping afterwards.
Hope this helps…
I got this working, and have to run so I can’t make a full description right now. But basically (ignore my earlier post) I had to force the full upload path into this variable:
$wppt_general_options['upload_path']
and then I hard-coded the thumb options in wppt.php:
$wppt_thumbnail_options = array(
‘wppt_widescreen’ => array(
‘name’ => ‘Widescreen’,
‘desc’ => ‘Default thumbnail left corner of content’,
‘width’ => ‘160′,
‘height’ => ‘90′),
‘wppt_square’ => array(
‘name’ => ‘Square’,
‘desc’ => ‘Default thumbnail left corner of content’,
‘width’ => ‘90′,
‘height’ => ‘90′)
);
and I also removed all the thumbnail directory creation stuff (so make sure you have uploads and uploads/wp-post-thumbnail created with 777.
I will try to make a more in-depth post later.
I’m getting a “Loading original image for cropping …” that seems to be stuck no matter what I do. Is there an update I’m not seeing?
Bump!
Maybe the error messages I get can help a little further:
[12:42:00] 1x PHP Warning: move_uploaded_file(/1226345671_box1.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied on line 60
[12:42:00] 1x PHP Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move ‘/var/tmp/phpQZTCdO’ to ‘/1226345671_box1.jpg’ on line 60
[12:42:00] 7x PHP Warning: chmod(): No such file or directory on line 61
.
.
So it has something to do with rights-management..? Why does the plugin wanna move sth. in the root of the server (and not in its ..uploads/wp-post-thumbnail)?
What can be done to make this great plugin work on any server-config?
I appreciate any help.
Hi there!
Can I make the thumbnails linkable to the specific posts?
Thanks!
Hey Andy,
Congrats on figuring out the fix! Can you share more details on how to do it? This looks like a great plugin, I can’t wait to implement it.
If you are receiving the “Call to undefined function: simplexml_load_file()” error, you most likely do not have php 5 installed on your webserver.
Hi and thanks for the plugin. Here’s a question: why bother with the XML settings file? I mean, XML is nice and everything, but wouldn’t it be easier to set the options with a plugin options page, and then just pass them to the wppt_init() function? I see a lot of people here are having problems with configuration (myself included), so I’m wondering if it would simplify things to let Wordpress take of handling options? I noticed that you have code potentially enabling users to do this, but it didn’t seem to be working for me. Anyway, just my random musings. Cheers!
Anyways so i tried hardcoding the php file like Andy and Manuel but still get an error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘)’ in /homepages/13/d254053766/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/wp-post-thumbnail/wppt.php on line 143
-.- I have no idea what to do if andy or manuel or anyone else would like to send me there wppt.php file i would appreciate it. to TeamHGN@gmail.com Thanks.
Here is a reference of what i have.
$wppt_config = new file_search(’wppt.xml’, TEMPLATEPATH);
if (sizeof($wppt_config->found) > 0) {
$xml = simplexml_load_file($wppt_config->found[0]);
$wppt_thumbnail_options = simplexml2array($xml);
} else {
$wppt_thumbnail_options = array(
‘wppt_widescreen’ => array(
‘name’ => ‘Widescreen’,
‘desc’ => ‘Default thumbnail left corner of content’,
‘width’ => ‘160′,
‘height’ => ‘90′),
‘wppt_square’ => array(
‘name’ => ‘Square’,
‘desc’ => ‘Default thumbnail left corner of content’,
‘width’ => ‘90′,
‘height’ => ‘90′));
}
Also is there a way to change the file search for the xml file to a direct path so that it doesnt mess with my template. Ive heard other people saying that they cannot just put it in there template folder and have the plugin find it cause it messes with there templates as well. This might help for advanced editing. IM just not that good at php strings to make one?
Great looking plugin, but apart from lots of pain during installation it always makes the page jump to the “imgAreaSelect” after page loading. (Which sucks badly!)
Also it—for some reason—always displays the last uploaded image in the “imgAreaSelect”, which is definitely not what it’s supposed to do, is it?
Unfortunately I found the code to be quite badly documented/understandable, thus I couldn’t fix it.
So please consider this a request for a quick fix. I have a tight deadline coming close and would really want to use WP Post Thumbnail.
Got the same problem:
when trying to upload an image the “Uploading, please wait ..” phrase freezes
nothing shows up in the wp-post-thumbnail directory even though it has 777 set
Hi, great plugin - thanks for all your work!
Tweaks: What is doing the re-sizing? Is it Wordpress’ built in engine?
I’m trying to find out how I can adjust the .jpg quality… any help appreciated.
Cheers, Gareth
I’m having a similar problem to Shawn, Chris, and Salomon. I have a theory. Are any of you guys installed in a sub folder? In other words is Wordpress not installed in the root directory?
I had this plugin working and have since relocated my WP install to a sub folder. After doing this the plugin broke. And it seemed to me that what was missing was all the fancy Javascript. That got me thinking that it might be a path issue.
Can anyone with more knowledge of the plugin investigate that theory? I’d be very grateful. Thanks!
I tried for hours to get this plugin to work and could not. Like many people here, I just get “Loading original image for cropping…” and it never actually loads. I give up.
Stanley – great plugin! I’ve really wanted this for a long time… One thing I miss though. Why can’t I use the plugin with pages? It only supports posts. I know the name of the plugin is (…)post thumbnail(…), but I think most people could use this in pages also.
Just an idea.
Thanks for a great plugin.
Arnii
Matt, interesting! I am running Wordpress off a subfolder at least.
Nice work. I installed it and I am having the exact same issue as everyone else. Please let me know if I can help. Thanks, Drew
I have Wordpress MU 2.6.3, and I have this plugin working fine on 2 sites, but not the third. They all share the same template theme. How mad is that? I am baffled!
“Loading original image for cropping…”
But it never does!
Nice work
I am having problem, when I upload a file a message is coming “uploading please wait…”.
Nothing happening after a 5 minutes.
Please help.
Thank You,
Biju Subhash
Hello,
I was wondering if you were going to update the plugin to make it compatible with the latest version of WordPress. I find it amazing and would love to see it in action.
Hi, and thanks for this useful plugin. It had worked fine a few times when I ran into the the same “Loading original image for cropping…” issue as many people here. I was stuck with it until I thought of adding a extra character within the upload javascript in wppt_admin.php, basically just to break the script and stop it from running. That reset the script and got the “browse & upload” screen back.
I removed the extra character and tried with another image and the plugin worked properly again. But trying again with the first image, it broke down again the same way. Turns out that the image was blocked by Adblock Plus which caused the image not to load and thus broke the plugin After I disabled Adblock for my site, the same image loaded properly and everything worked.
Maybe that’s what is causing problems for at least some you too.
i along with everyone is having the “loading image” problem
any ideas anyone?
Is it working for wordpress 2.7 ? (great job)
great plug-in
however…
I’m having trouble getting it to work with
I’m still in the early stages of messing around with it but if anyone has any ideas of how to get it to work with query_post I’d really appreciate it.
What do I chnge so it will only try to put the image html code in if it found a thumbnail? (If not all posts have the thumbnail(s) like in my case.) Thanks!
think i’ve got it:
ID, ‘pft_widescreen’, true); ?>
<img src=”" />
Never mind. The issue appears to be that the plugin does not work on shared hosting servers. It tries to move the file to the root directory to which it has no access to. I hop this helps in the development of this amazing plugin. I have yet to see one match it’s caliber.
I’m having the same problem as nick.
after i browse the picture and click on upload it says “picture has been uploaded” but it doesn’t give me any option to crop. I chomde my uploads folder to 777 and its still empty. Any suggestions? I’m using wp 2.6.5. thanks
Anyways i use this plugin, its great thanks, but i think it leaves N’s on top of my page. If you highlight above my header you can see
thegamerzzone.com
is this because of
‘.”n” ???? That is included in the Head?
‘.”n”Great plugin! I love it.
New to designing my own Wordpress Theme and this came really handy. You can see a working example on my site.
Anyone out there who have any hints on how to improve the quality of the preview pictures taken by this plugin?
Hey Vincent,
It looks like you got past you original upload problem?? How did you do it???? HELP!
Would be awesome to get an update to the plugin. On the one hand this plugin is absolutely ideal, but on the other hand its current state is really the only thing stopping me from going live with my blog!
I am able to upload an image but it will only let me save one thumbnail called “widescreen”. I’m running WP 2.6.5.
This plugin could be really great. Please update soon.
The plugin only shows an option for widescreen…not the other sizes such as square. I am on wordpress Version 2.6.5
Hi. Great plugin. But Im a little lost on something.. Is there a way to display the description? I cat seem to figure it out.
Really love this plugin, especially the ability to manually crop the images using different set sizes.
But, and this is a big but, it was installed and functioning fine on my website, the site was a week from going live and I had about 20 test posts put up (with images of course), then out of the blue ALL OF THE THUMBS DISAPPEARED! With no warning and for apparently no reason.
Now my site is at a standstill because it needs those thumbs in order to function, I have nearly 3000 ‘posts’ that will be put up and can’t risk the thumbs going missing. It would be far too much work therefore the entire site is now on hold.
Help, any ideas why this happened, how to get the thumbs back and if there is a way of stop this from happening in the future? My website is currently being tested in my sandbox at http://elizabethpearce.ca/sandbox2
This is a surprise Christmas/Retirement present for my father, he’s planned on starting a business for 40 years but the market is now primarily online and he’s about given up and I’d thought providing him with an online site and showing him how easy it is to use the wordpress as a CMS he might cheer up). Now I’m starting to freak out it won’t be done by xmas.
I’m having the same problem with it getting stuck at “Loading original image for cropping …” I thought maybe it was because my image was too large, but it’s stuck after deactivating and reinstalling. Any ideas?
Not much happening here with fixing the Plugin, unfortunately.
@Arnii & for those wanting it to appear on PAGES also:
add this after around line 218 in wppt.php:
add_meta_box( ‘wp-post-thumbnail’, ‘WP Post Thumbnail’, ‘wppt_template’, ‘page’, ‘normal’ );
It adds the plugin´s box to the page´s write panel. You can leave the “filter” at line 218 for posts and add the line above to have the plugin appear on both posts and pages. Or replace line 218 with this one to have the plugin appear on pages only.
You better use a code like this in your loop.
<a href="" rel="bookmark" title="Lien Permanent vers "><img src="" alt="" />
Change pft_rectangle (2 times)with the tow others plugin solution.
Really not working just ‘Loading original image for cropping…’ would be great to have an update
I want to be able to post articles with thumbnails above the header on the main page. Can this plugin do it? Ive tried inbstalling the plugin and it does not seem to be woring, i’ve pasted in the code as well into my index.php file. Any suggestions?
here’s my site url http://www.criticalspeech.com
thanks
Really enjoying the plugin; nice user-friendliness for my client. However, it seems to have ceased functioning after an upgrade to WordPress 2.7. Any plans to release an update?
Thanks!
Please disregard my last comment; the interface to the plugin has suddenly reappeared again in my create-post and edit-post views. It must have been the deactivating and reactivating that did it. Cheers!
Stanley, great plugin!
