Realizing now after all that, that my images are getting cropped and coming out blurry. For instance, with a 335×500 image, I tweaked the dimensions for single-thumbnail as suggested above, but it’s still not working. I’m so confused now as I’ve ended up with the problem that started this thread. Initially I just wanted to include portrait size so the images wouldn’t load at full size but were in proportion to page layout without getting cropped off or being fuzzy. Did I miss something?

Okay, so after trying about 7 different ones, I finally found one that worked! Thanks! I like the dimension size for portraits. I just have to make sure if it is larger than that dimension (single thumbnail), that I shrink the size or it will be cropped and not clear, correct?

Yeah, textwrangler works with 10.6 or higher and I have 10.5.8. I tried using Mac notepad but it doesn’t save each “note” so tried exporting it but then it’s not doing that.

The filezilla part I’m doing right but when I tried it first time I was mistakenly using the standard Mac TextEdit as the source of the functions.php file so that was the problem. Otherwise I have the file in the right folder but now just can’t seem to save the functions.php with an applicable text editor for my computer. At least one that is free.

Thanks Stoatoffear. I guess I’m just incapable of this. I can’t get any text editors that either work with my version of Mac or they just don’t seem to work when I upload them with Filezilla and put into wp-content>themes>hatch-child. Meaning, when I go to my child theme, there is no functions.php loaded. I really don’t know what I’m doing and don’t know what else to do. Is this the only way to solve this issue without editing the Hatch functions.php?? I’ve created child themes with no problem before when I was using an old theme but I think that is when I was not using WordPress. I guess I’m just in over my head now.

Hi Stoatoffear,

I know I’m just missing some basic info but I’m trying to create the child theme based on your above directions. I created it, but it’s only giving me these options under the sheets (i.e. no functions.php):

Stylesheet
(style.css)
RTL Stylesheet
(rtl.css)

How do I create the functions.php?

Perfect! Thanks so much Dalton:)

Sorry, but I thought I posted in same forum as the other posters who had posted the code and had asked editing code questions. Didn’t realize I couldn’t do this here. Then could I have my domain name I linked to above deleted from this post so it no longer shows up? I understand this has to be done by a moderator. Would greatly appreciate it:)

If I use the CSS code suggested in other related posts (see below) I see only the thumbnails (which are also not centered) but the current full size image isn’t shown at all. So what would I need to adjust in this code to show the full size image centered? Thanks:)

I already used firebug and given the code I was unable to make adjustments that resulted in any changes. I always try to resolve problems first using firebug but I don’t know what it is that needs to be changed.

Problem solved. By trying other things when loading image I clicked on file image button to load that url and then clicked insert image to post. And that worked! Seems so simple but not obvious since one of the options for url is none (which I hadn’t clicked but I guess was the default setting). I thought that option was for if you wanted your image to link to another source–which I didn’t since it was a header image. So all seems well now! Thanks again for all your help.

Take care,

Hi,

I did all of the above–deleted theme, re-installed, tried uploading images again. Still same problem. Though I noticed that upon re-installing, under Appearance settings in Dashboard sidebar, Header now appears. This is something that was initially there last time I installed but had disappeared from sidebar when started having problems. Tried doing it in Safari as well (have been using Firefox) but same problem. So I’m completely stuck and now back at zero. Also, this might just be weird coincidence but since I’ve been having this problem I’ve noticed that the WordPress favicon has disappeared when I load my dashboard page (unlike here where I can see the W). I really don’t know what to do as this theme is best suited for my needs.

Thanks! Picture did load with default theme. Question though: I switched themes in order to do it…wasn’t given option to deactivate current theme of Custom Community first. Now I only see option to install it again. Would that be enough or how do I go about removing it first? Under themes it doesn’t even appear in the Installed Themes section. Thanks for you help:)
