Image Source

    I’ve just updated to the latest version of Post Thumbnail Editor and I’m having some difficulties.

    Before, the thumbnail page displayed my featured image at full size. Though I don’t remember the exact image source, it was the image I had set as featured in my post. E.g….
    mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/thefeaturedimage.jpg

    Since the update, the thumbnail page displays the featured image but it’s much smaller and the quality is poor. The image source is now:
    mysite.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=imgedit-preview&_ajax_nonce=f2dc01bbae&postid=146&rand=85536

    Example here: http://postimage.org/image/qbgdd8rb1/

    Also, I’m not sure if this is because of the image source issue, but whenever I choose the aspect ratio setting, it doesn’t constrain proportions or dimensions and so the thumbnails are blurry.

    I’ve uninstalled, reinstalled and tried it on a new installation of WP to no avail.

    Absolutely ANY help would be greatly appreciated. I loved this plugin before and would really like to keep using it.

    Thanks, Elsie

    First, worst case scenario, you can always go back.

    You’ll probably find though that the preview image from all the previous versions is exactly the same. This is actually wordpress internal code that I didn’t write. — However, I think that this is a good feature (Have an option to change the size of the previewed image) that I can implement at some point in the future. Do you have any other comments? (Am I missing something? Is there a different/similar feature you want?)

    The image constraints problem is an interesting issue. Constraints do not go into effect until you select the thumbnail. Alternately you can click the options button and then configure an aspect ratio manually (set this to the value of width divided by height). If you select the thumbnail and the constraints aren’t being set then I can walk you through a process to find what image sizes are being passed into the editor (which I can duplicate and find the problem with).

    Thanks for your quick response. If the thumbnail editor showed the full size image before, then is there something in the update that has affected it? I know you’ve said it’s internal code but the plugin worked fine until I updated to version 2. It showed the featured image at 100%, now it’s around 60%.

    No matter what way I try, the constraints aren’t in place and I can create any size crop as seen here: http://postimage.org/image/cla4eetzr/

    I haven’t found another plugin even remotely as good as this one so I’m desperate for it to work. I’ll try the old version now.

    Thank you!!!

    What I was trying to say, is that the plugin didn’t change the code that displays the preview picture. The old image link is identical to the new version (or rather it should be).

    Before you downgrade the plugin, can you get some information for me?

    When you load PTE the url should resemble this: http://wordpress-site/wp-admin/upload.php?page=pte-edit&post=103

    What is the output of this related URL (just change the 103 to whatever your id is): http://wordpress-site/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=pte_ajax&id=103&pte-action=get-thumbnail-info

    Instructions for downgrading:

    1. Download 1.0.7 at the link that I posted above.
    2. Delete your wp-content/plugins/post-thumbnail-editor folder.
    3. Upload and unzip (or unzip and upload depending on your web host) the files in the same place.
