Hi Devin,

On another similar subject, a quick tech lesson needed here – is it possible to standardize the size of preview thumbnails on a gallery page? I have a large pic with 7 to a row thumbnails underneath (about 30!) and they’re all over the shop in shape & size…

Thanks,

Leisel

Afaik there’s no plugin which allows you to set the featured image automatically because it doesn’t make sense in most cases.

WordPress just saves the id of the (full size) image when you set an image as “post thumbnail”. This id will be used to query the url path to the full size image OR to a thumbnail of this image (depends on the theme code).

If you already uploaded “high resolution” images and set these images as post thumbnails you just need to regenerate the thumbnails with: http://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

Afterwards wordpress will use the proper thumbnail size of these images for the post thumbnails. If you want to change the thumbnail size open up and search for /wp-content/themes/enfold/includes/loop-index.php

$current_post['slider']  	= get_the_post_thumbnail($the_id, $size);

Replace the $size variable with any custom value like

$current_post['slider']  	= get_the_post_thumbnail($the_id, 'full');

or

$current_post['slider']  	= get_the_post_thumbnail($the_id, 'large');

or any other thumbnail size which is defined in functions.php or which you created with http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-image-sizes/

@rbellei – You can easily hide the preview thumbnail with css (because video posts do have a special “format-video” css class). Insert following code into the quick css field

.single-post .format-video.single-small.with-slider .small-preview {

display: none !important;

}

Perhaps this plugin may also be of assistance in your case, if supported by your server configuration:

http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/imagemagick-engine

Open up wp-contentthemesenfoldconfig-templatebuilderavia-shortcodespostslider.php and replace

$output .= $thumbnail ? "<a href='{$link}' data-rel='slide-".avia_post_slider::$slide."' class='slide-image' title=''>{$thumbnail}</a>" : "";

with

$output .= $thumbnail ? "<a target='_blank' href='{$link}' data-rel='slide-".avia_post_slider::$slide."' class='slide-image' title=''>{$thumbnail}</a>" : "";

and

$permalink = '<div class="read-more-link"><a href="'.get_permalink($the_id).'" class="more-link">'.__('Read more','avia_framework').'<span class="more-link-arrow">  &rarr;</span></a></div>';

with

$permalink = '<div class="read-more-link"><a target="_blank" href="'.get_permalink($the_id).'" class="more-link">'.__('Read more','avia_framework').'<span class="more-link-arrow">  &rarr;</span></a></div>';

You can change the preview image size with a filter. Insert following code at the bottom of functions.php

add_filter('avf_ajax_preview_image_size','avia_change_ajax_preview_image', 10, 1);

function avia_change_ajax_preview_image($size){

$size = 'featured';

return $size;

}

and (if necessary) replace the “featured” thumbnail size with “full” or “extra_large”.

Hi,

I fixed it. I changed the thumbnail size of the gallery images and applied a small patch which fixes a js error when you use menu names with non Latin characters (eg Cyrillic or Greek characters).

Having the same problem. Have set Featured Image for each item and still just getting portfolio page item name on grid and no image displayed.

Thanks
