Retina image for Logo

  • Regarding the question in FAQs, “The logo or icons of my theme are not displayed as Retina, why?” you say:

    “The plugin can transform the images that go through the WordPress API and the ‘Image Sizes’ properly (which means that they are part of the Media Library). Themes often uses a one-time customized size for the logo, and for that reason the image wouldn’t be taken care of by the plugin. The easiest way to go around this is to create the Retina image by yourself. For example, if you are logo is 200×100 and named ‘logo.png’, upload a 400×200 version of that logo named ‘[email protected]’ next to the other one. It will work immediately.”

    What does “upload a 400×200 version of that logo name ‘[email protected]’ next to the other one” mean?

    Upload it where? Upload it to the Media Library next to that one? Or upload it directly into the folder where the 200×100 resides? And when you clarify this can you please update your FAQs so that it is more clear for others.

  • I would use the media library, it can’t hurt anything, and I think this is what he intended

    Ok, I can try that and turn on debug. But answer this please, does the image have to be in the same folder as the other resolutions of it, or could I for example add it a couple months later and have the plugin still find it?

    What is the plugin actually seeing… the “@2x”

    So as long as we have myfilename.jpg and [email protected] and these two could be anywhere in the media library folders and the plugin will still know where to find the retina version?

    The image has to be in the same folder. Of course, it can also be added later.

    Yes ??

    Yeah but you need the @2x file in the directory, don’t upload it in the Media Library, it shouldn’t be registered in the DB since you are not using it directly.
