Hi

Is the featured and Thumbnail image the same? Because I only have the Thumbnail option (when editing a page).

Also I don’t see any difference between the options on “Single Page/Post Image Layout”? – except for the disabled option of course 😉

Is it by any chance possible to control the placement of the featured image? I would like it to be aligned right of the page text.

Thanks 🙂

@Thomas: For image sizes, please check in theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-responsive-pro/.

If you are checking in from Catch Responsive Pro theme, then in Single Page/Post Image Layout you will see option “Default, Featured Image, Full Image, Slider Image and Disable Image”

Yes, you can control it. Can you send me your site URL and then I will check in.

Hi Sakin

Thank you for replying.

I’m aware of the Theme Instructions and image sizes, but I can’t see any (or read in the instructions) what the difference is between the options ““Featured Image, Full Image and Slider Image”. Could you please elaborate?

The page in question is http://wordpress.lounge-dj.dk/?page_id=165

By the way, I also have the problem with the missing “Read more” in the featured content as explained in this thread http://catchthemes.com/support-forum/topic/want-to-curtail-featured-content/

@Thomas: In this page http://wordpress.lounge-dj.dk/?page_id=165, I see that you have use the settings as “Full Image”. So, it will load your original image that you have added in. If you choose featured image, then it will load the cropped image in size of width 860px and height 484px. If you choose Slider image, then it will load the cropped image in size of width 1200px and height 514px.

Fore read more. Please check your excerpt length at “Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Excerpt Options => Excerpt Length (words)”. You can reduce the excerpt length there. As this excerpt length check the length before more tag in your page.

Hi Sakin
Thanks for the info. I will look into it and report back.

Could you give me a comment on this one?

Okay, I can see that the picture is encapsulated in the <figure> tag. When I select the “featured image”-option it uses the “featured-image from-metabox featured”-class and when I select the “Slider”-option is uses the “featured-image from-metabox slider”-class. However in both cases the picture is full sized and not cropped…

[Sakin]

@Thomas: It will be cropped. But if you have just change the theme then it will not crop for old image. For old image you need to regenerate thumbnails using regenerate thumbnail plugin which we have mentioned in theme instructions page at http://catchthemes.com/theme-instructions/catch-responsive-pro/.

I don’t get it why you ask, Is the featured and Thumbnail image the same?. Thumbnail are generated automatically by WordPress. Featured image is the image that you have added in featured in your page/post. Also WordPress has it’s own thumbnail size of image which you can see at Settings => Media. Catch Responsive Pro theme uses 4 different type of images for different places.

[Thomas]

The reason I ask about the Featured Image vs. Thumbnail is that I don’t have a “Featured Image” upload option but only a “Thumbnail” upload option.

After reading this guide “https://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/&#8221; I can see that I don’t have nearly as many options in my “Screen Option” pull down menu.
I only have (freely translated from Danish to English):
Changes, Own Fields, Discussion, Comments, Short titel, Author, Page attributes, Thumbnail, Page Builder, Catch Responsive options.

The Catch Responsive Options are where I found the Layout options etc. tabs.

So that’s why I wonder if Thumbnail is the same as the Featured Image…

This is my first WordPress website, so I wouldn’t know what to expect. Any advice?

[Sakin]

@Thomas: Maybe it’s because of your language. Actually Featured image is supposed to below Page Attributes. See this screenshot https://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798331806476/

Hi Sakin
Yep, I have also just Googled it. And if I comment out the “add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );” from the core file it disappears. So it’s the same.

So far so good. But I still can’t figure out why the different image sizes won’t work.
I read somewhere that a some themes and plugins disables the feature, so I’ve tried to delete all plugins, switch theme and then back again and upload a new featured image. But it is still the full image size shown on the page.
The frontpage does however show a reduced sized image. So the image resized does work (overall).

Please advice.

[Thomas]

Just checked the “Upload”-folder and there are 1200×514, 860×484 etc. image sizes available.

[Sakin]

@Thomas: Yes, it’s same. Don’t comment out add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );. Ok did you regenerate thumbnail. Can you try regenerating thumbnail using Regenerate thumbnail plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails and then let me know it.

If this doesn’t help then I need to check in your server and find it.

[Thomas]

Of course I didn’t comment out the line for good… 😉

Yes I have regenerated the thumbnails and can see in the upload folder that the different image sizes are available. So that part does work.

Before you get access to my server, can you maybe direct me to which file to check?
I do have several years of (professional) experience with developing backend systems in PHP…
If you prefer you can send me the details on email (find the address at my user account).

[Thomas]

Okay, never mind. I found it in the Core file.
It seems that when the “Feature Image” layout option is selected $individual_featured_image is set to ‘featured’, but this value doesn’t match any of the values in the if sentences and hence goes for the full thumbnail…

[Sakin]

@Thomas: Thanks will check and fix it in next version update.
