@baedon, it looks like the crop completed for you without any problems… Can you try running this without the thickbox interface and telling me if the problem goes away? (Instead of left-clicking on the PTE link, just right-click and choose to open in a new tab/window). I’m looking at some bugs involving my code and thickbox.

Please enable debugging and copy the results to a pastebin somewhere (e.g. pastebin.com) and share the link. Also, it would help to know what version of wordpress you are using and browser.

If that doesn’t work, I have a potential fix you can try…

The problem that you can see from the logs is the imgareaselect plugin seems to be having some issues. I would try deleting and re-installing the plugin then clearing your cache and trying again. Does the img selection/cropping part seem to be working well (the part on the left hand side)?

Thanks for the heads up, I had a problem with SVN… I just pushed out 1.0.2

Sorry, I took so long to get back to you. That is very strange, I have never seen anything like that… Does this issue go away if you disable my plugin? Does it happen to every image, or just ones in vertical orientation? Does it happen only to pictures that you open in PTE? This might be something to bring up in another part of the support forums to see if anyone else has had similar experiences…

Here’s a couple that I found (I’m not sure if they will be of any help):

WordPress resizes the main image to 400px so that you can work on the image without it being too big. I followed that convention (in fact I use the same code that wordpress does). So you are in fact seeing a resize of the original image, but all the calculations for the actual size and thumbnails are done on the “real” thing.

I think I know the problem. The image on the left is actually taken from what wordpress regards as the “official” image, which can be modified by any crops that you made in the official editor. All thumbnails are derived from this image, and those current thumbnails are shown on the right. (For this plugin you won’t see the thumbnails “as cropped” until you get to Step 2).

(If I’m right) You can reset the original image by loading the picture in the official editor, and choosing the option to “Restore Original Image” so that the image you see on the left is the full image from which you can make your crops.

Did you select an area to crop to on the image”? I think that should be the problem if the button isn’t enabled.

Update

Update. Sort of.

If there are any still paying attention to this thread. I haven’t been able to duplicate this problem…

However, I have made some changes that make debugging/reporting easier. If anyone would be willing to help me (and has this problem), install the latest version from https://github.com/sewpafly/post-thumbnail-editor/archives/master, then enable debugging by navigating in wordpress to Settings -> Post Thumbnail Editor (feedback about this interface is welcome too).

Then next time you start PTE, there should be a red link that says “Show log”. Go through the process until you encounter your error, then click the “Show log” link to display the plugin log.

Thanks again.

Thanks, MacItaly for the notice/bug report. I have seen some problems from the AdRotate plugin before and if you could give me some more information, it might help me to reproduce the problem.

1.) Does it happen for all images, or just images with a certain size? What size image can I use to duplicate the problem?
2.) What browser are you using?
3.) I’m guessing from your username you’re on a Mac? ??

Thanks again!

I’m guessing that the thumbnails that have the same size, actually all share the same URL (so when you change one, you change them all). Which should explain scenario #2. I’m not sure about scenario #1, but it sounds similar to the other issues in this thread. I’m going to try and get a version with increased debugging utilities out in the next couple days and then see what I can gather from that data…

@stuartist – thanks, I’ll try this.

@andrewmunro – do you have multiple thumbnails with the same size?
