It worked, thanks a lot! Maybe a feature to put into the plugin for the next release? Custom-sized avatars would make sense…

Cheers!

Hi there and thanks once again. I added the code you provided to the functions.php and “force regenerate thumbnails” all images in the media library. When I go to user => edit my profile, I can see the thumbnail in the correct aspect ratio right now.

However, in the posts themselves, the thumbnail is still displayed in landscape mode…

You can see here what I mean:

Is there anything else I need to do? I am not using a caching plugin and switched browsers and computers to avoid any browser cache operatirng…

Hi there and thanks for your quick reply. I don’t think the problem is the upload, images upload fine through the media library (although it would be nice if one could specify where to upload these to, as they mess up my media library after a while ;-)…

I think the problem is that you use the default thumbnail function in WordPress, could that be?

If a blog (like mine) defines the default thumbnail to be a landscape image, than all avatars are, too…

For example, my thumbnail size in WP => Settings => Media is: 266 x 150 and that is the exact size of the avatars… Do you see what I mean?

Thanks for your help!

Hi shadez,

thanks for coming up with the solution, needless to say it works… Indeed, this does help me learn how to use the functions and I’ll soon try one of my own. The issue is always understanding where some information gets called, and the codex isn’t always that helpful to a non-programmer ??

Thanks for your time again, merry Xmas!

Actually, I was a bit too early with my enthusiasm… I think this needs to be tweaked a little and I’d appreciate your help. What happens now is that any filter selection (i.e. list posts by category) is completely ignored…

Any suggestion on how to fix this?
Thanks so much for your time!

Awesome, thanks so much for your time! Works like a charm (I only tested the first code provided as I use adminimize to remove the screen options from certain user roles).

You’ve bee anounced “hero fo the day” ,-)

Cheers!

Thanks, I tried that (moving the plugins). I don’t have a cache plugin as my site is members only, so caching is not the problem…

Good to hear CKEDITOR is not the cause. In fact, I presumed that after deactivating CKEDITOR and seeing hte same problem…

Any other ideas? Thanks…

By the way, I use AdMinimize to a accomplish a number of things but realize that is only playing around with CSS, not the core functions..

Hi Kat, happy you like it. Let me know if you want me to do some testing for you, whenever you have a chance to crunch this… I’d be happy to chip in some cash for the development if that can escalate the priority on the list of future requests ??

Hi everyone, just to answer my own question: the team of CKEDITOR has confirmed to me in writing that they will no longer support WordPress as they are collaborating with drupal now.

Personally, I will commission to my developer to update the plugin and integrate the most recent versions of the plugin. Anyone interested in contributing to the cost of around 800 EUR development is most welcome to chip in and get a copy once this is done.

Really sad to see them abandon WordPress, I think this is by far the best WYSIWYG editor around…

What I particularly like is the clean code and the CKFINDER (image upload) integration, as I hate the Media Library which is far too cluttered for my taste with more than 500 images…

Cheers.

Hi lesman,

did you find out how to do this by any chance? I am looking for something similar and would appreciate any update you might have gotten.

Cheers!

I uninstalled it again as I couldn’t fix the issues. Besides, there are some jquery issues that call other scripts like filebase pro to fail.

There are better, less bloated galleries out there completely for free. I was hoping that after Alex sold NextGen the product would be enhanced, and I also don’t like the “freemium” model where I need to pay for a template…

Sad to see nobody can help me here…. Guess I need to work out a different approach… Thanks anyway!

Question to photocrati – when will this bug be fixed please?

Also, is there a way to have the cache ACTIVE for registered users in the subscriber role?
