i created my own theme i have like 4 or 5 plugins installed.
art direction, askimet, seo yoast, multiple featured thumbnails, and list sub categories widget.

i think thats it…

thanks!

nevermind i figured it out
i added a second filter
add_filter( ‘post_secondary-image_thumbnail_html’, ‘my_post_image_html’, 10, 3 );

the ‘secondary-image’ part is based on the id you used

what is the point of using this filter if I could code in the anchor tag the way i code in anything in the post?

is is just to make life easier?

i discovered a problem i think.
I had two thumbnail sizes. thumbnail and medium.
I was uploading images at a perfect medium size so it wasn’t auto creating the medium size and I thinks somehow this affected the thumb size which was created uncropped.

i got rid of the medium size and now it created a good cropped thumbnail.

what sucks is that I can’t really overwrite that thumbnail, I can only create another one.
if I do that I end up having 3 files in my uploads folder and of course int he library you only see one.

ok so i found that 300×200 is just not cropping well into 150px it somehow doesn’t get cropped.

but if I upload a larger image it does get cropped? and the result is a thumbnail at 150px

if I crop for thumbnail it creates a new file and doesn’t overwrite the original thumbnail which is annoying and I end up with 3 files

it automatically takes my 300px by 200px and creates a 150px by 100px.
its not cropping and I can’t override the crop when editing the image in wordpress under library

here is my website
https://www.baseshamai.com/blog

notice the featured image is 300×200
if you click the posts you will see it as thumbnail size -except its not right. its smaller than thumbnail size. under media settings I set it to be 150×150 with crop turned on.

what am I doing wrong for this not to work?

I was using the_post_thumbnail(‘thumbnail’)
and I set it in settings > media to 150px

I also am using the_post_thumbnail(‘medium’) for my featured.
But when i upload an image at 300 by 200, it automatically makes a shrunk version of my original to use as a thumb. and I want to be able to override it and crop it my own way for the thumb.

so… can I bump?

what I want basically is if I upload a picture for my featured posts at 300×200
I should be able to decide how it crops it for the 150×150 thumbs for the regular posts. not it doing it automatically and terribly

i can’t my wordpress theme isn’t up on the internet yet….

i can reach the feed by going to loacalhost/blog/feed

blog being the page with the posts. but the rss button in safari won’t show up on the blog page and it bothers me
