Badly scaled thumbnails on a front page

  • Hello,
    I’m preparing a website using the Appliance theme for blog page.
    I’m slowly getting done with it, but yesterday some problem occured.

    I like the Appliance for its pretty and simple look, my blog page consists of four columns in three rows and, until yesterday, everything was working excellent and looking very good.

    To the point – I have about ten posts added a few days ago and they are looking perfect for me. But today, when I’m adding a new post, an image chosen as a thumbnail is being scaled badly.

    Checking in Firebug I see that for the older posts wordpress was using an image 214x120px, now it’s using 150x100px pic and scaling it ugly.
    Also in the uploads folder I don’t see 214x120px thumbnails, which were created for older images.

    I’m choosing a post thumbnail indicating an image from gallery (900x600px, some are bigger). It was working perfectly for every post I added a few days ago. Now the thumbnails are unpretty scaled and don’t see any reason.

    Colud you please tell me what to do?

  • did you add the image in content editor or is it a featured image?

    I’m adding all images for thumbnail using an option “set a distinctive image” in bottom right corner of post editor

    Ok, the problem is clear now: wordpress is using the smallest thumbnail (150x100px) although I set a thumbnail to use (Setting > Media) for 260x160px, that’s what I need.

    For sure it has nothing in common with style.css file.
    Where to look for this error?

    Puzzle resolved !!!

    I’ve finally found a solution.
    With a strong font I wrote what I’ve added to index.php file.

    <div class="postimage"><a href="<?php the_permalink() )?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_post_thumbnail( <strong>array(300,300)</strong> ); ?></a></div>

    @codemovement.pk: thank you for your answers.
    Greetings
