Scribble Featured Post Image

[jleslie]

I am using the Scribble theme and having trouble with the Genesis Featured Post widget. I'm using that in the Blog widget area of my home page and have the "Show featured Image" box checked with the image size as 280 x 120. The problem is, the images are displaying on the home page in all different sizes. Does the original image need to be a certain size? Do I have to size it correctly in my blog entry? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

If you had existing images/content on the site before activating Scribble, you probably need to regenerate thumbnails. There's a plugin called Regenerate Thumbnails - once you install it, go to Tools > Regen. Thumbnails to run it. It should resize all your images to fit the image sizes in the theme.

Hope that helps!

Thanks. I forgot to mention that I had tried that to no avail. Most of the pics and entries were newly added.

So am I correct that it should be generating the same size image no matter the original size?

Hmm, it should be, assuming that the original is at least 280px wide or at least 120px tall. Right now I'm only seeing one image at the bottom of your homepage, which seems odd since all 3 posts have an image associated with them.

Here is the response I got from Support that worked:

Edit the post. Click the "add media" button. Go to the "upload" link and select "uploaded to the post". The image must be shown on that screen in order to be used.

Uploading an image while editing your post creates an association in the db whereby WP sees the image as "attached" to the post.

That is how featured images are chosen. Images sizes are created when the image is uploaded and changing settings afterwards will not affect previously uploaded images.
