Thanks, I’ve just installed the update and it seems to work so far.

Great, thank you! That’s far better than what I had before your plugin!

Hello

Thanks for looking into it! So are you talking about these few image sizes I want to have in the dropdown? Because when I tested your plugin with my theme, only a few image sizes were generated for each uploaded image, not all the ~15 image sizes. I guess I could live with 4 image sizes being generated for each image after upload – way better than have all image sizes generated.

Thanks,
Fabian

Thank YOU very much!

Hey!

True, I forgot about that. To add the custom image sizes (resp. the ones I need) to the dropdown, I added the following lines to my functions file:

function add_custom_image_sizes($sizes) {
    return array_merge( $sizes, array(
        'blogimage' => __('Blog'),
        'blogimagehalf' => __('Blog (halfwidth)'),
        'portfolioimage' => __('Portfolio'),
        'portfolioimagehalf' => __('Portfolio (halfwidth)')
    ) );
}
add_filter('image_size_names_choose', 'add_custom_image_sizes');

These custom sizes are defined as follows:

add_image_size('blogimage', 778, 0);
add_image_size('blogimagehalf', 379, 0);
add_image_size('portfolioimage', 1166, 0);
add_image_size('portfolioimagehalf', 573, 0);

Please let me know if this is of any help.

I have uploaded my theme to my Dropbox. Here’s the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/usm9pgbuvic1xwi/fabians2015.zip?dl=0
(please let me know when you have downloaded the zip archive, so I can delete it afterwards.)

Best regards,
Fabian

Wow that was super fast – thank you!

Hi there,

I have just installed your plugin after failing to find a solution for my image resize problem.
However, I’m experiencing the same issue as Li-An has experienced 10 months ago. I installed the latest version of the plugin and I’m using WP 4.3.1. I have defined about 15 image sizes in my theme and don’t want every uploaded image to be resized to all these sizes. However, when I upload a (new) image with the “Add Media” button in the post editor, the only image size I can choose is Full Size – I need my theme’s sizes here.

Another thing I noticed, when I choose Full Size to insert the image into my post, the image is being resized to five image sizes, and I don’t quite understand why, as they seem to be quite random (some of them are only used on extra large screens, some for Retina screens, some for normal lower resolution screens, and then it’s different post types too).

Hope you can help me with this, as the plugin looks really promising to solve my problem.

Thanks,
Fabian

I installed this plugin and it sort of seems to work. However, when inserting media (an image) into a post, the only image size option I have is “full size”. And I need my sizes there.

Anyone? I’ve been stuck with this for about a month (well I had a lot of other things to do as well..) and I really need to solve this problem. Thanks…

Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like a bigger project there. I’ll try the easy way…

Hey Meitar,

As an alternative solution to this: Do you think it would be possible to duplicate the plugin (and rename some things within it I guess) and then connect the duplicate to another WP.com account and thereby crosspost every new post to two WP.com (or self-hosted) blogs?

Best,
Fabian

No worries, thank you.

It magically transfers the media file across blogs. I have only tested this with self-hosted to self-hosted-with-jetpack.

This is certainly not complete, like with importing posts from WordPress.com back to self-hosted blogs etc., but I’ve just quickly added basic support to crosspost featured images. All I had to do was replacing your TODO-comment on line 393 with this: 'featured_image' => wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_thumbnail_id($post_id)) and adding a comma at the end of line 391. I think that’s fine without a standard diff/patch file ??
