Thumbnail Featured Image Center

Hi,

My issue is as follows.
I upload all of my images, create my post and everything is perfect.
I upload my FEATURED IMAGE (which becomes my Thumbnail image) and it does not get properly centered.
I edit the pic manually, same thing.
I tried different resolution, same thing.
I noticed that the theme does not take into the actual cropped image or edited what it does is it take the FULL RESOLUTION of the image and then forced is to resize as follows:
http://i1.wp.com/www.WEBNAME.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMAGENAME.jpg?resize=326%2C159

I have a couple of issues with this ?resize=326%2C159
1) it means that on my homepage the FULL IMAGE resolution (maybe 720 res) is being loaded instead of a portion of it (cropped maybe) or lower res and then it’s forced to be visual cropped but not really

2) there is no control on what section is being shown.

Is there a way to fix this?
Am I missing something huge here?

Hi,

Can you please send your sites’s link so I can check this?
If you are you using CDN this may cause the issue as your CDN delivers the files at the original size.
You could also try to regenerate thumbs https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/

Hope this helps
Thanks

Hi,

I have checked your site and found no issue the images used for the thumbs aren’t re-sized, those thumbs are loaded at that specific size http://screencast.com/t/DmNJr8fLr not at full width, I believe the ?resize=326%2C159 comes from thumbs name.
You can check yourself, open the image and see it’s loading just a thumb of it: http://screencast.com/t/pGWNgUDx0

Thanks for the message

Hi Lucian,

My issue is not with the thumbnail itself. It’s with the way it centers it.
The ?resize=326%2C159 is not part of the filename.
It is a line of code added by WordPress or by your design, I am not sure.

The example you show is exactly the issue I am referring to.

Where is the ?resize=326%2C159 coming from. and how do I recenter the image

Hi,

You use Jetpack Photon – http://jetpack.me/support/photon/ that’s why the image link looks like this – http://i0.wp.com/www.pickperclick.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/maxresdefault7.jpg?resize=326%2C159
Without this CDN the link should be something like http://www.pickperclick.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/maxresdefault7.jpg

I’m not sure I understand what do you mean by recenter it, the image it’s only cropped, other then this it’s not different from the original, other than the size of it off course.

WordPress has some default cropping sizes http://screencast.com/t/ifk8fE1HYk and we added more sizes inside the functions.php file – http://screencast.com/t/2QaaubXnqxL

Those sizes are used on modules and sliders (including the Big Slider) , you can read here about the thumbs used on modules and sliders –https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-and-blocks/

If the image is smaller it will not be cropped, you can’t crop and image that has 200×300px to 700×300px, it can only be upscaled and wordpress doesn’t have such a feature.

Hope this helps!

Thanks
