Select size of image for image layer

  • Hi,

    When I upload an image to WP it creates several different sizes of the image for me – for ex: uploading an image named ‘ImgTest” will result in other images, such as ‘ImgTest-720×300’ and ‘ImgTest-300×75’, etc., being created in the media library. Adding an image to a ‘post’ (for example) allows you to select one of these sizes.

    When I click ‘add image’ for a slider, there is no option to select these other sizes. I hope I’m just missing something simple.

    Thanks.

    Hi, unfortunately you’re right, there isn’t a quick option to insert the image at a lower resolution than the original.

    The fastest way to fix this issue is to select an image in your media library and click on the “Edit image” button. You will be able to set the resolution that you want to use.

    thanks for reply. I just gave that a try and specified the resolution of one of the existing images hoping it would use that one. it didn’t, it created another image with that resolution with a different file name, even though one already existed. It sure seems a shame that all these pics were created during the upload and they’re not useable. Your plugin is not alone btw, I use some siteorign plugins and they have the same problem. I assume this must be a wordpess limitation?

    Thanks….

    I don’t know if that’s a WordPress limitation. I’m using the default WordPress media uploader ( this one: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Javascript_Reference/wp.media ), and with the default options you can’t select the image size. Maybe there’s a way to add that feature

    hmmmm…ok. I’m not sure what’s going on then. I’ll have to look into it further.
    thanks again.
