Title: add_image_size function not working Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # add_image_size function not working * [chrsc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrsc/) * (@chrsc) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add_image_size-function-not-working/) * There seems to be a issue with the add_image_size function with WP 3.8.1. I’m using the roots theme as a base, and have edited my init.php file to add another image size to my available images. * ``` // Add post thumbnails (http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails) add_theme_support('post-thumbnails'); // set_post_thumbnail_size(150, 150, false); // added with WP version 3.5.x add_image_size('isotope-portfolio', 760, 290, true); // added with WP version 3.5.x add_image_size('isotope-people-headshot', 180, 290, true); // added with WP version 3.8.1 add_image_size('portfolio-530', 0, 530, true); ``` * Each image size that was added in previous WP versoins prior to upgrading to 3.8.1 is available to use but the new size is not. I have tried using Regenerate Thumbnails version 2.2.4 and I have tried uploaded new images but the new image size is not getting created. * I apologize in advance if this is a simple issue that I’m overlooking. * Cheeers, Chris * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add_image_size-function-not-working/#post-4582014) * Can you try uploading a new image manually to the Media Library, then attaching that newly uploaded image to a post to view it? * Thread Starter [chrsc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrsc/) * (@chrsc) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add_image_size-function-not-working/#post-4582016) * I tried that unsuccessfully, it was the second thing I did for troubleshooting, all the image sizes in 2014/02/ folder are there except for the _name_-835-530. jpg file which should be there with my new image size. * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add_image_size-function-not-working/#post-4582018) * > and have edited my init.php file * That does sound strange, I’m not familiar with your theme but aren’t you supposed to add this stuff to your Child Theme functions.php file (not init.php)? * Thread Starter [chrsc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrsc/) * (@chrsc) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add_image_size-function-not-working/#post-4582020) * Oh, the Roots theme loads all their files from the functions.php file like this: * ``` require_once locate_template('/lib/init.php'); // Initial theme setup and constants require_once locate_template('/lib/sidebar.php'); // Sidebar class require_once locate_template('/lib/config.php'); // Configuration require_once locate_template('/lib/activation.php'); // Theme activation require_once locate_template('/lib/cleanup.php'); // Cleanup require_once locate_template('/lib/nav.php'); // Custom nav modifications require_once locate_template('/lib/comments.php'); // Custom comments modifications require_once locate_template('/lib/rewrites.php'); // URL rewriting for assets require_once locate_template('/lib/widgets.php'); // Sidebars and widgets require_once locate_template('/lib/scripts.php'); // Scripts and stylesheets require_once locate_template('/lib/custom.php'); // Custom functions ``` * The init.php file is where all the theme setup is. * [Rick Alday](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrdaro/) * (@mrdaro) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add_image_size-function-not-working/#post-4582355) * I’m having a similar problem and it doesn’t seen to be theme or plugin related as it occurs on different themes and with all plugins (except for Regenerate Thumbnails) but I can’t see to crop Medium and Large sizes. No matter what values I give ’em. I can regen custom sizes and Thumbnail size without any problem. I’m suspecting it’s a WP 3.9 bug but I’m not sure. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add_image_size-function-not-working/#post-4582356) * If you require assistance then, as per the [Forum Welcome](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post), please post your own topic instead of tagging onto someone else’s topic. * I am now closing this 3 month old topic as it references an older version of WordPress.
