    Hi, I made some plugin actualization and a few days ago I found this problem:

    When I add new post with featured image I see on frontpage (and archives, taxonomies) full size image thumnail insetad of “medium size”. If you check out the site now, it is only the newest post (the frog).
    I tried to deactivate all the plugins but problem is still there.
    Can you please help me?

    Thank you very much

  • Hey bloxgros,
    So I have a question just so I can know a little bit more about your situation. Are you using a custom theme or a theme from the WordPress repo or another place?

    If you haven’t done so already, check your home.php or front-page.php (which ever one your theme is using) and check to see if the the_post_thumbnail call has ‘medium’ as a parameter.

    You also might want to try using the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to recreate the thumbnails for each post and each size.

    Hi Jacob, thank you for your reply. Im using pixgraphy theme (https://www.ads-software.com/themes/pixgraphy/). I tried to use regenerate thumbnails plugin but it didnt help. I will check out the the_post_thumbnail parameters and will let you know. Thank you.

    Hi Jacob,

    thank you very much! I found the problem in content.php, where I had to replace ‘post-thumbnails’ with ‘martin-home’:

    $image .= get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, ‘martin-home’, array( ‘title’ => esc_attr( $title_attribute ), ‘alt’ => esc_attr( $title_attribute ) ) ).’‘;

    and to add this to functions.php:

    add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );
    add_image_size( ‘martin-home’, ‘462’, ‘0’, true );

    Awesome! I’m glad you were able to fix the issue. It does sound like you’ll need to put these changes into a child theme so that they don’t get overwritten when there’s a theme update. I’ve put links on how to do that below.
