 * Hi!
 * I checked all FAQ and threads for this but cannot find the answer…
 * After installing the plugin it worked fine. But after I changed the css to not
   show the titles in the grid the thumbs arent generated propely.

 * The thumbs are shown in a square shape on all other pages cut from the featured
   image correctly, but in the grid they are forced into the square from a rectangle
   shape.
 * Sorry, I cannot describe this issue much better, my english ends here…

 * Your images are resizing to 150px x 160px because of a 5px padding on the top
   and the bottom. By looking at it using developer tools and inspecting the element,
   it looks like this is a setting applied to all images and coming from your theme.
   I think the best way to deal with it is to disable this in your custom css. Go
   to Appearance and look for Custom CSS. If you don’t have that option, you can
   use a plugin like Simple Custom CSS. Paste in the following. This should only
   change image settings in the grid.
 * .postimage img
    { padding-top:0px!important; padding-bottom:0px!important; }

 * I added the code and saved (because I do not like padding anyway) but the thumbs
   in the grid are still not shown properly.
 * All thumbs behave normal, a square is cut from the center of a rectangle image.
   But in the grid the rectangles are squeezed into a square shape.
 * Please excuse my english, normally it is ok but technical terms like this are
   giving my a hard time 🙂
 * I google “compress” an image, but I get wrong answers for that…
 * No idea why the grid works that way, yesterday I added an additional plugin to
   edit thumbnails but still all thumbs work fine except the grid ones.

 * PS: I could solve the problem by always adding square featured images to all 
   posts, but for some other reasons I need to keep some images as a rectangle

 * Oh, I misunderstood your issue. I think what you want is proportional sizing…
   set the width=”auto” in the shortocde but leave the height as “150” or whatever
   your height should be. Tha way, the width will stretch proportionately.
 * Like this:
 * [thumbnailgrid height=”150″ width=”auto”]
