Predefined thumbnails with new shortcode?

    I don’t see how to use existing predefined thumbnails generated from the media library like you used to be able to with the old widget. The old widget had a nice dropdown list where I could choose which size to use.

    Hey @anonamix,

    The shortcode has an undocumented parameter called thumbnail_build that can be used to have it list predefined thumbnails instead of WPP ones. I don’t recall the exact reason why it’s undocumented though (probably because there are some use cases where it won’t work as expected? It’s been a while since I last touched that part of the code) so keep that in mind.

    To use it, you need to also make sure that:

    1. You define the width (in pixels) of the thumbnail with thumbnail_width, and it needs to match the width of your predefined thumbnail
    2. You define the height (in pixels) of the thumbnail with thumbnail_height, and it needs to match the height of your predefined thumbnail
    3. You set the thumbnail_build parameter with ‘predefined’ as its value

    So, let’s imagine that you have a predefined image size called article_thumbnail and that its dimensions are 100px x 75px. Your shortcode then should look something like this:

    [wpp thumbnail_build='predefined' thumbnail_width=100 thumbnail_height=75]

    Of course, check your theme’s code to find the actual size you want to use and adjust the shortcode accordingly.

    If you have any comments / questions please let me know.
