In reply to: Featured image size different than what I upload!Sorry I was out of town Jonathan!
Ok so I did run the regeneration plugin and nothing changed, I clear my caches on all my browsers and cleared out the wordpress caching plugin I have and then deactivated. Still no different.
And really aside from this I’m still unsure of why this isn’t an issue on some posts, but an issue on others.
I am wondering if it cold have something to do with my retina macbook? I was on our mac desktop (non retina) and the image looked fine. But same page on my macbook and that featured image isn’t super clear.

In reply to: Featured image size different than what I upload!Hi Johnathan,
Here’s a link to a post where it’s happening:
http://www.apexautosports.com/2000/testing-it/
I changed the date to really old so it doesn’t show up in my recent blog while we look at it.I have tested out turning the plugins off to see if it changed anything and unfortunately it doesn’t. I even switched to the twenty fourteen theme or which ever is current and tested a new post and it still does it. Getting really frustrated.
————–
This is what the theme support guy just said to me if you care lol:It’s wordpress that resize and generates sizes based on registered sizes by add_image_size(). X dynamically compute your image sizes based on your layout size (and it’s uses the max size). For example, if your inside layout size 980px, then X will deduct spaces, and etc. from it and the resulting value will be registered as your image size. So your resulting image size will be like 800px or so.
Now that it’s registered, wordpress will generate images according to that. You may ask why layout size? and why 800px? It’s because in responsive layout, the columns and sidebars tend to collapse and becomes one column so it’s best if your image can maintain quality on both columnized and full width layout. And 800px is not that big, it’s almost same size as tablets and mobiles. If your 800px is still too big, then compression while maintaining quality is a must. Pixel size is still different from image file size, it is image file size that contribute bigger to loading performance.
Please note that regenerate your images every time you change your layout, or there are new added image size. You should install Force regenerate thumbnails plugin and use it. add_image_size() will not resize your existing images.
X registered the size in the name of entry, entry-cropped, entry-fullwidth, entry-cropped-fullwidth. And by checking your site, it’s correctly picking the registered size entry-cropped. But the actual generated image isn’t being picked. Thus, image regeneration is required.
<img width=”709″ height=”473″ src=”http://www.apexautosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/IMG_26951.jpg” class=”attachment-entry-cropped wp-post-image” alt=”IMG_2695″>
————————————-So I’m gathering from what he said that it’s picking the correct image file that should be 847wide but displaying the picture that’s 709 wide?
Thanks for your help Johnathan!

In reply to: Featured image size different than what I upload!Hi Jonathan,
Thank you for your response.
So I tested out what you were saying and it didn’t change anything. boo.
But I guess I left out why this is such an issue for me,WordPress is reducing the file to that 847 wide, making it unclear. If it was resizing it to the exact specs of the featured slot and it remained still a clear picture, I wouldn’t care.
Also, why would all of a sudden this happen? Seems like in the last month or so it’s really become a problem. Featured images I uploaded months ago are output at the image I uploaded, its only recent ones where it magically gets changed to this new 847 size gets added.
Thanks for the response Jeremy. What exactly will that code do? I do want to use the sharing just not on the testimonial items…
Of course when I contacted the theme creator, they say it’s a problem with the sharing plugin.
Also, today I was doing some work on the site and noticed that even with the sharing turned off for pages which seemed to solve the issue of the sharing showing up on the testimonials, when I go to a specific post page, at the bottom in the footer where I have the testimonials displayed,
the sharing is on the testimonials there. growl growl…
Where would I find that? This is a theme I purchased which included it when I purchased.
Here is the theme:
http://themeforest.net/item/parallax-wp/1538346Thats why I think this is so weird.
I clicked on screen options, but the only thing there is slug, author and # of columns.
See entire testimonial page edithttp://tinypic.com/r/2el5emw/6
http://tinypic.com/r/ff4cxd/6I just did a little testing and it seems it’s because the testimonials must be coded as pages because if i unclick pages in settings>sharing then it goes away
BUT I want the sharing on the other pages…
Hi Jeremy.
Thanks for the response.
I’m not sure what you want me to check under settings > Sharing…There is nothing to uncheck about sharing on each testimonial page?
I have the same issue. There is no way to turn off the sharing on the testimonials…
Here’s an example on my site:
www.
apex
autosports
.com/
dt_portfolio/1970-hemi-superbird/if you looks at the bottom of the page in the footer, you can see the testimonials and the sharing issue.
