2.6 Thumbnail Problem

  • When I try to insert a thumbnail into a post (using Flash Uploader) it inserts the full-size image instead, at least on the post I’m trying to do now. On earlier posts it worked fine, but on this one it doesn’t seem to want to insert thumbnails. Would original/full-size picture size have anything to do with it? The picture I’m trying to make into a thumbnail now is 1457 x 2027. Thanks for any help.

  • I have the same problem, found out though that the problem might be, that WP doesn’t accept pics larger than 3MP… so i resized a couple of images (down to 454 x 341) and tried again but with no luck… is this some sort of restriction from it requiring to much memory to process for PHP?? Tried it in both 2.6 and 2.6.1…

    I think (hope!) I can help with this – not a solution exactly, but a reason.

    Short version: Make sure the file you’re trying to use is saved as RGB. Nothing else appears to work right.

    Long version: I had the same problem – abrupt failure of the uploader to make thumbnails and medium images, or to generate captions; the image would upload without error, but existed and would show only full size. I tried several different versions, in different sizes, of the same image (a b&w woodcut) and had the same problem. Just for grins, I tried an entirely different image. The uploader did its thing, and gave me a proper thumbnail and caption.

    The only difference I could find in all these images was that the woodcuts were all saved as grayscale files, and the color one, as RGB. Unfortunately, running a woodcut through an image editor and saving as RGB didn’t make it work.

    Hope this helps!
