# Plugin does not use custom image size

 * Hey!
    I’ve registered a custom image size to use with the widget.
 * As far as I understand from the documentation, I can pass that image size in 
   the shortcode like this:
 * `[vsel-all-events image_size="event_preview_thumb" event_cat="cat1, cat2, cat3"
   order=asc]`
 * I’ve made that sure that the image exists in the right dimension, too, by regenerating
   this image size.
 * Nevertheless, the widget uses the full size image and seems to ignore the parameter
   AND the default setting from VSEL -> Widget settings page.
 * What could be the reason for this?
 * Best regards
    Florian

 * Hi Florian,
 * There’s no (shortcode) attribute for image size.
    Featured image size (and source
   image) can only be set via the settingspage of VSEL. My plugin supports the 3
   default image sizes from your WordPress install (set at page Settings > Media).
   And the default post-thumbnail size from your theme. Please note there are 2 
   settings: for image width and for the source image that is being used.

 * Hey Guido,
    sorry, don’t know where the image size attribute came from.
 * I have removed it, also did an update of the plugin, but the shortcode still 
   loads the full size image although I chose “preview image” in the widget settings
   page.
 * Any ideas what might cause this?

 * Hi Florian,
 * > although I chose “preview image”
 * I don’t recognize “preview image”… Or do you mean the Post Thumbnail?
 * What’s the URL of your site?

 * Hey Guido,
    “Vorschaubild” which is “preview image” in German is what WordPress
   uses for the post thumbnail.
 * How can I contact you in private regarding the URL?

 * Hey everybody,
    after some help from Guido and having a look at the code + debugging
   it, it seems like there’s a conflict with the used theme.
 * Looks like Impreza changes the “post-thumbnail” in one way or another and returns
   the full size image instead.
 * Switching the image size in the VSEL settings page and defining the right image
   size through the integrated media settings in WP fixed this issue.
 * Regards
    Florian
