You’ve just changed theme, correct ?
WP doesn’t automatically resize the already uploaded and cropped images, you have to use this plugin to do that.
Regenerate Thumbnails
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
The width of the so called Featured Image of this theme used in single post is 1100px, so your original image must be 1100px or more.
No I haven’t changed the theme, I have been on Hey Cookie for a year, but I updated the theme, would this have changed it?
If so, how do I change it back?!
would this have changed it
Possibly. Only theme theme’s author would be able to say for sure. And I would not recommend reverting to an earlier version of the theme. Its author updated it for some reason…
I only just updated the theme, so I am guessing it is this unless I have changed something accidentally in the stylesheet CSS (which is entirely possible), if I wanted to revert back to the old version of the theme how would I go about this?
The site is still running on WP 3.4, this possibly be the problem.
You can access earlier versions of the theme via http://ww.wp.xz.cn/themes/hey-cookie/developers/
I just upgraded to WP 3.5.1 and the featured image is still really small?
Where do I find the featured image in the style.css? I think I may have changed something accidentally here…
How do you “accidentally” change something? You should never have been editing the theme’s CSS. You need to create a child theme for your changes. Or install a custom CSS plugin
I was trying to change the font and I didn’t understand how to set up a child theme, I thought that was the easiest way. In any event, is there any way I can change it now?
I have a potential employer looking at my page today and am desperate to fix this problem.
Thank you for all your help!
It’s not the stylesheet, the template loads that image full size instead of single post thumbnail size set in theme.
See here is the markup from A La Sweet – Paris post.
<img width="443" height="200" alt="IMG_0886" class="attachment-single-post-thumb wp-post-image" src="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG_08861.jpg">
That image is 2575×1161, loaded full.
It should be getting this IMG_08861-1100x200.jpg
I’m sorry if I’m being extremely daft, but I still don’t understand how I can fix it? The image size has changed in all of the posts.
V1.2.7 uses set_post_thumbnail_size( 1100, 400, true )
http://themes.svn.ww.wp.xz.cn/hey-cookie/1.2.7/functions.php
V1.2.9 intruduces
add_image_size( 'single-post-thumb', 1100, 200, true )
http://themes.svn.ww.wp.xz.cn/hey-cookie/1.2.9/functions.php
Both versions implement the feature image in single template differently. Switching to v1.2.9 you have to use that Regenerate Thumbnails Plugin to tell WP to create that single-post-thumb size – for the already uploaded images.
Thank you so much for your help. Can you please send me the link for the style.css settings for v1.2.7, as you did above for the functions.php, thanks alot!
