Hi there,

I installed and activated this plugin to my wordpress and it worked even though it hasn’t been updated for 2 years however, Read More does not show after the thumbnail excerpt. Can you please help me how to fix my read more? Thanks.

I am using a static page for the homepage of a client’s site, set to the showcase theme. On the blog page the thumbnails show up right, but on the home page it uses an image from the homepage, not the blog post the excerpt is for. And it puts that same image as the thumbnail for every post. Right now I only have the first excerpt showing and for the following posts it is only the title. I want to have 5 posts with excerpts but I can’t do that when they all show the same thumbnail! I am using the Thumbnail For Excerpts plugin by Radu Capan.

The page is:

I been using this plugin for a while and it works perfectly.
When i test the site on GTMetrix, I get this:

Serve scaled images

The following images are resized in HTML or CSS. Serving scaled images could save 183.7KiB (88% reduction).

I’ve found that resizing the image, uploading it to my site and setting the resized image as the featured image solves this problem. But the original image the plugin had been pulling and the resized image i set as the featured image are being displayed side by side in the post excerpt. How can i fix this?

I see references to the settings but mine doesn’t have it. I want to remove the ‘no-image’ thumbnail for posts that don’t have images. I also want to play with the margins a little. Tips? Thanks.

Hi everyone!

This is my first message and first i have to say sorry my bad english, but i try explain my problem.

I have a multisite wordpress 3.5.1 with twenty eleven theme and i use thumbnail for excerpts plugin and it`s good plugin, but problem is image scaling to frontpage.
Frontpage show 12 thumbnail and if it`s possible to get scaling working, then frontpage size smaller maybe 2-3mb and of course loading speed going very fast.

Now its only scaling thumbnail if i write a post from my (example: domain.com) but if i write a post from (example: multisite.domain.com) then its not scaling thumbnail. Thumbnail file size is same than what it`s in post page.

Can i do some css tricks to thumbnail for excerpts plugin or what is best way to do scaling?

Hello there,

When I activate “thumbnails for excerpts” on my homepage. All my social sharing buttons disapper on homepage and only appear on single post pages.

I tried many plugins, but same result. So, the glitch is in thumbnails for excerpts.
I want social buttons to show on homepage even when its activated.

Any help?

thank you

Hello,

This is a very handy plugin, works almost perfectly out of the box. I found a problem though.

When I added an image to a post, and I picked the medium size version of an image from my library, then the image name that was put into the post was blahblahblah-blahblah-225×400.jpg

I added the original image to the library at a previous point in time, and then selected the medium size of it for my post. So that’s the filename that was used. It was originally generated by an upload from the iOS WordPress app, so I expect this issue is somewhat common.

The bottom line is, there’s a regular expression match around line 221 that looks like this:

preg_match_all(‘~(\w*)-([0-9]*)x([0-9]*).(‘.$type.’)~’, $src, $matches);

I found that it was getting tripped up by the presence of more than one hyphen in the name. I changed it to this and it seemed to fix the issue:

preg_match_all(‘~([\w\-]*)-([0-9]*)x([0-9]*).(‘.$type.’)~’, $src, $matches);

Explanation: \w* matches one or more “word characters” (which is digits, letters and underscores), while [\w\-]* adds hyphens to the set of characters that are matched.

Presumably other unusual punctuation in filenames might continue to throw off the parser. But anyway, this is a fix that resolves the problem at least for images sent up from the iOS WordPress app. I hope it helps someone else.

Hey all,

How do I limit the number of words shown in a excerpt? I had a look at the functions file with this plugin but no luck.

Please help me ??

Hi, when I have vertical images (height larger than width) the Thumbnail for Excerpts plug-in only respects the width setting, and the images get bigger than the size limit I have put. Is their a solution? Thanks in advance.

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/thumbnail-for-excerpts/

With some themes, on the landing page, and almost always in archives with any theme, two thumnail images display side by side. They are in a class entry-content div, with 2 a herf= tags one after another.

This is exclusively with images that are generated by other featured image plugins, so I do not believe that this plugin is responsible for this occurring, but thought I would toss the question of how to remove one of the images out to the knowledgeable people here.

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/thumbnail-for-excerpts/

Hi there,

I’ve found a problem with images name. If the image you upload to a post has one or more dashes full image will be shown n excerpt instead of correctly created thumb. For example:

myphoto.jpg –> shows thumb -OK!.
my-photo.jpg –> shows full -wrong!

This is because next sentence in PHP code:

preg_match_all('~(\w*)-([0-9]*)x([0-9]*).('.$type.')~', $src, $matches);

Here $src = my-photo-www-hhh.jpg (www=width, hhh=height).

According to this sentence the program gets “photo” as second match, when it should be “my-photo”. So the question is: does anybody know to fix this sentence so it gets ALL before the LAST dash?

Thanks a lot.

Seems to have stopped working after 3.4 update.

Anyone else?

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/thumbnail-for-excerpts/

Too bad that posts without a picture still have a placeholder for an empty pic in the excerpts.
Otherwise, it’s great!

Hi,

Is it possible to place the thumbnail horizontal? Like 3 in a row?

Hope someone can help me out.

Regards!

The problem I had with this plugin, running a WP installation 3.3.1, much newer than 2.9, was that this plugin has a flexibility to work with 2.8 and earlier. To be this flexible it searched posts I didn’t need searched. This plug in was making my RSS feed so slow it broke readers; and loading pages with 10 excerpts was impossibly slow.

So I edited thumbsforexceprts.php — around line 305
it says “if you don’t find a designated featured image, search the post for an image” — comment this out

if(!$find){/*
		//no thumbnail defined with 2.9 feature... than we go the old way
		$post_thumbnail = tfe_get_image($id,$content,$align,$width,$height,$default,$regenerate,$default_src);
		if(!empty($post_thumbnail))
			if($withlink=="yes")
				$plus='<a href="'.get_permalink().'">'.$post_thumbnail.'</a>';
			else
				$plus=$post_thumbnail;
*/	}

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/thumbnail-for-excerpts/

I found that the following line of code had to be changed in order to stop displaying the default image:

$default=(get_settings(‘tfe_default_image’)==”?’yes’:get_settings(‘tfe_default_image’));

to

$default=(get_settings(‘tfe_default_image’)==”?’no’:get_settings(‘tfe_default_image’));

While I don’t know the script line for line – it seems to me like the ternary is checking to see if the tfe_default_image valued is populated with ANYTHING – not easy to understand from a novice POV. I attempted to change the image source value to “no” thinking it would turn it off, but it didn’t.

with that change, the desired if loop is hit:

if($default==’no’ && $noimg==true){
//not to show default? ok! nothing to show!
}

how to add a colorful border to thumbnails.

This is a very usefiul plugin

thank you

I’ve used it dozens of times for client sites but this is the first time double thumbnail images appear on some posts. See:

https://littleyayas.com/

Not all posts have double images. I wonder what triggers that issue.

Great plugin. I have a design situation where I need the thumbnails to be positioned right before the title. The options currently allow thumbnails in the content. Is this even possible with this plugin? or any auto thumbnail feature? Not really wanting to go in every post and set featured image so I can use a snippet in the theme wherever I want.

I’m using Thumbnails for Excerpt version 2.1 on WordPress 3.0.1.2.

I love it. Except it strips the html formatting on the index page. Is there any way to fix that? I really just need to keep the < /br>’s

Thank you for your help and for a great plugin!

Hey guys,

not sure but some pages don’t load entirly when the plugin is activated. For example, the homepage loads completely and when I click on page 2, it only loads a few articles and then stops. Everything else like the sidebar and footer are missing? What’s going on? How can that be fixed?

Hope someone can help me!

Cheers!

Hi

Love this plugin, however i would love it to pull the 3 first thumbnails from my posts, i though i was ok at php but i can’t figure out how to modify the code to do this for me, any help would be highly appreciated!

Hi
Fantastic plugin except that recently I have been adding excerpts to my pages for a brief intro, but I get a thumbnail showing for my pages is there any way to exclude page excerpt from the thumbnails

Everything works like i want it to but my category pages with excerpts load EXTREMELY SLOW… any fix for this?

Anyone know another plugin that does the same but works fast? SuperSlider-Excerpt works but it shows some weird excerpts on my home page that shouldn’t be there…

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/thumbnail-for-excerpts/

the default is ok i guess.

But I can not get the wp thumbnail to work (option will not select)

can you upgrade this to allow admin/authors,etc to upload
their own thumbnail, which in turn would replace the
default thumbnail for that post.

I just really do not see the need to run this solely for
the purpose of showing the exact same thumbnail on
every single post…

Thanks

The “Thumbnail For Excerpts” is working only on some of the images in our feed.

Some of the thumbnails are just the original images re-sized/scaled down to the thumbnail size. Let me explain…

When you right-click > properties on a few of the images you’ll notice some are correct thumb files while others are the original larger images… scaled. This increases bandwidth and loading time.

Any idea why this is not working on all images?

All our post are pretty identical art features, all images are .jpg and we use photoshop’s “save for web” on all images, so not sure where else to turn.

Also, I’ve checked and the thumbnails files are there so not sure why the larger files are being used for some.

I just installed this on my local machine. I can get thumbnails to work fine as long as I do not have an image in the post. If I use an image in the post it uses BOTH images and screws up the home page.

So any ideas on being able to use an image within the post and have the plugin NOT use it if I’ve already chosen a thumbnail for the post?
