Bug with ‘Post Featured Image’ dimensions?

Hi @kense20xx,

I can’t replicate this on my end. Can you post a link to a page where the bug can be found?

Hi Anders. I’ve tried on a couple of different browsers. Take a look at this link and you’ll see a demo where there are images above the post titles:

https://www.themetalmagazine.com/news/

In this example, in the ‘Post Featured Image’ dimensions I added 300px to the height box and nothing in the width box, which rather than limiting the images to 300px in height seems to have the result of hiding the images. If I add a number to the width box while there is still an entry in the height box, the images are still hidden. But if I clear the height box and add a number to the width box, the image width is transformed appropriately and is displayed.

Hi @kense20xx,

It seems like those images have their src attribute set to a base64 gif value, like this:

data:image/gif;base64,R0lGO…5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Are you using some lazyloading plugin for images? If so, try disabling it and see if that makes the images show up. I’m wondering if the lazyloading plugin reads the images as not being there and therefore skips loading the actual images.

(Tove doesn’t interact with the src attributes of any images, so it’s not directly theme related.)

Hi Anders. Turning off the lazy loading does display the images, but very strange that it was working in every other variation (nothing in height or width, or entry in width) and not with that height setting alone. I’m guessing some kind of Gutenberg / more general FSE bug rather than a Tove issue?

@kense20xx My guess is that the lazy loading plugin is somewhat faulty in detecting whether the image is actually visible on the page or not, so it might not be a FSE bug either (or not directly, at least). It’s possible the plugin hasn’t been tested with FSE yet, since it doesn’t ship properly until 5.9.

Good call. Thanks for looking into it, I’m glad it’s nothing that you need to worry about at your end!

Is there any way of deleting the link to the website from this thread? I can’t edit the post myself.

@sterndata Is it not a sufficient security concern that any nefarious visitors to the site would know what theme was being used, should there ever be any security issues with the theme or WordPress in the future?

Your theme is always known. There are many URLs on the site that include the theme’s name.
