In reply to: [Featured Image Thumbnail Grid] Pagination extensionHello, I am so sorry for the late reply. You will get much quicker support in the future if you go through our web site. When you say pagination, do you mean the text that goes to previous and next pages? Can you send me the link to your web site? [email protected] and also let me know what your settings are?
Thanks,

In reply to: [Featured Image Thumbnail Grid] responsive grid shortcode?Hello,
autoresize:fit is a video specific setting, I believe.
The plugin is not responsive. You can make the grid responsive by editing the style sheet or by using a custom css editor. I’ll look into a way of automating this, and create an example. The next release should make this much easier. In general, I believe that it is up to designers to control responsiveness! 🙂
When you upload images to wordpress, they get uploaded in a few different formats, the default format is “thumbnail”. Check out this support thread for more info:
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/thumbnails-imgs-are-stretched?replies=3
And, the following is excerpted from the wordpress codex instructions:
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Inserting_Images_into_Posts_and_PagesThe Size settings determine the size of the image you are adding to your site. By default WordPress creates a range of four image size for you to choose from:
Thumbnail: Displays a small thumbnail-sized version of your image on the page/post. Note, by default the Thumbnail size is a square, so some cropping of your original image may occur.
Medium: Displays a medium-sized version of your image on the page/post. This is a good size to use with Left/Right alignments, as it leaves sufficient space for legible text to either side.
Large: Displays a large-sized version of your image on the page/post. Note: WordPress will determine the width of the content column of your theme, and display the largest possible image for that space.
Full Size: Displays a full-sized version of your image on the page/post. Note: WordPress will determine the width of the content column of your theme, and display the largest possible image for that space. If your original image is larger than this column width, the full size of the image may not be displayed.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Featured Image Thumbnail Grid] Specific pages or exclude specific pagesYes, according to the codex, you can grab the page id’s. Try this & let me know if it works. Replace the numbers with the actual id’s of the pages that you would like to exclude.
post__not_in =”3,8″
An alternate option, and the one that I would prefer, would be to enable categories on pages and to use categories to display pages in the grid. Some themes enable this, or you could use a plugin to do this.

https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/add-tags-and-category-to-page/Hello,
Thanks for your message & for pointing this out. I will release an update within the next couple of days. We did have a reason for doing this (if you read the older support messages), but it is no longer necessary.

In reply to: [Featured Image Thumbnail Grid] gap between thumbnails on gridHello,
No there isn’t but it’s fairly easy to modify the style sheet using custom css. This may be included with your theme or you may install a plugin like simple-custom-css .
The margin is currently set to 10px on all sides, top, bottom, left, right. You can add this to your custom css to change it to 5px.
.griditemleft {
margin: 5px;
}You can also change any margin like so:
.griditemleft
{
margin: 0px 5px 0px 5px;
}Which is exactly the same as this:
.griditemleft
{
margin-left: 5px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
}Lastly,
You will need to add important to your custom style to ensure that you override the default style, like so:
.griditemleft
{
margin: 5px!important;

In reply to: [Featured Image Thumbnail Grid] Getting category ID for active categoryThat’s a good question. A brief look online tells me that the current category would be retrieved for a page using
$cat = get_query_var(‘cat’);
So, along with swapping out your single quotes for double quotes and vice versa something like this should do the trick.;
echo do_shortcode( “[thumbnailgrid cat=’$cat’ posts=’12’ type=’post’ order_by=’date’ order=’ASC’]”

In reply to: [Featured Image Thumbnail Grid] thumbnails imgs are stretched!Hi,
Unless your images are proportionately sized, they will be stretched.Even though you uploaded a size that is exact, The default size is the thumbnail size, created by wordpress when you upload an image, which is pretty small. In your case, 164×164.
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Inserting_Images_into_Posts_and_Pages
Try using
imagesize=”full”
Let me know how it goes!

In reply to: [Featured Image Thumbnail Grid] Only 1 Thumbnail is showingSorry that you couldn’t get it to display more than one post. The plugin uses the wordpress codex to display posts, so you might want to read up on the wordpress codex for more information.

In reply to: [Featured Image Thumbnail Grid] Category FailHi, I am not sure if you are using the right category id.
It looks like what you want are the posts here: http://monicaacoleman.com/category/media/
http://monicaacoleman.com/?cat=9 to see what wordpress should be showing for that category id, 9. It links to the category the-beautiful-mind-blog/monicas-blog:
http://monicaacoleman.com/category/the-beautiful-mind-blog/monicas-blog/
Are those the posts that you want displayed in the grid? If so, you could try using cat=”9″.
If not, you should double check the category id by going to the admin menu, selecting posts, clicking on categories. Once the list of categories open up, click on the media category, and choose the edit option. Once the edit screen has opened up, highlight the link in the address bar and look for tag_ID=. The number following tag_ID will be the category id.
You can also try category_name=”media” If media is the category slug for the Media category. This does not always work for sub categories, so I would suggest making sure that you have the correct category id first.

In reply to: [Featured Image Thumbnail Grid] Only 1 Thumbnail is showingNo problem. Follow the instructions here:
http://www.shooflysolutions.com/software/featured-image-thumbnail-grid-for-wordpress/
Also, take a look at the FAQ’s for solutions to common problems. If only one post is displaying, either it’s configured that way or the category or tag or other parameter that you are using to display the posts is only associated with one post.
