add_image_size not working

[trash]

Hello,
I want to add new image sizes to my WP install. I have written the following line in my functions.php of my child theme:

//Add Image Size
add_image_size( 'greyarticle-thumb', 214, 214, true );

But when I upload a new image, WP creates the usual three versions of the image, without creating an image that is 214x214px.

Am I missing something? I also tried it this way, but even this does not work.

//Image settings
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'custom_theme_setup' );
function custom_theme_setup() {
  add_image_size( 'greyarticle-thumb', 214, 214, true );
}

Is there something missing on my server? How can I check this?

Thanks!

Should work, for new images only. Here's the full docs http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size

Hey braddalton,
thanks - I looked in the Codex. I just found out, that on the FTP I have the image in size 214x214, but the Dropdown-List when I want to insert the Image in a Post is missing that size.

How can that happen? Did I miss any setting which adds 214x214 to the dropdown menu?

Are you using both code snippets in your functions file or just one?

It should work with one line like this:

add_image_size( 'slider', 1140, 445, TRUE );

Is there any server side caching?

I pasted both examples which I tried, but when checking of this works I am just using one code snippet at a time.

Isn't it strange, that the files get created, but the dropdown does not show the size at all....hm

[Brad Dalton]

Yes, especially if you're only using the first line of code.

Hi guys - I'm having the same issue. I've added a custom size and regenerated thumbnails:
add_image_size( 'medium-small', 200, 200, TRUE );//custom jlr
and I can apply the custom size using the text editor, but the custom size doesn't show up in any drop-down (media or media gallery).

Any update on this?

There's one more step you have to take is you want the image to appear in the drop down: http://victorfont.com/add-custom-image-sizes-to-media-library/

function post_image_sizes($sizes){
    $custom_sizes = array(
        'greyarticle-thumb' => 'Grey Article'
    );
    return array_merge( $sizes, $custom_sizes );
}
add_filter('image_size_names_choose', 'post_image_sizes');

Oh my word, you are a GENIUS, Victor 🙂
A million thank you's, that worked like a charm

[MissKitty]

Oops one other question, how would I edit the extra code if I had more than one custom thumbnail size?
thanks in advance.

[MissKitty]

My apologies - I figured it out! 🙂
