Question regarding thumbnails

[ckubs]

I don't think it's appropriate to post this here because it's not an issue but I'm searching and still searching.

In what file I fiind the code that outputs post thumbnails? I want to make my post thumbnails square and I'm missing what file the code is in.

Hi,

The post thumbnails are generated in layouts/content.post.featured.php file.

[ckubs]

Ah it's only that file. Changed <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?> with <?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?> and it does nothing.

[dziudek]

In this case it must be a problem with your WordPress settings or cache, because it is the WordPress core code.

Installed Gavern on another host(a free one for testing) and it does the same. I'll check the css too maybe there is the problem.

[dziudek]

I don't see any code which can stretch the thumbnails, but maybe there is some CSS properties inheritance which causes that the thumbnails are stretched to 100% width.

[ckubs]

I found only this: Inherited fromsection#gk-mainbody element.style { font-size: 100%; }

Looked at your premium templates too and as far as I see all have large 100% width post thumbnails in archive pages. If you'd do one news/blog oriented template with square or small width thumbnails in archive I'd be a happy man.

Donno, like here: demo.colorlabsproject.com/papuros/category/social/ (actually bought that as they had an unbelivable offer and it turned out to be bad as hell)

I'll add to the Meet GavernWP v.1.8 issue with this kind of the archive page.

Come back with a response after I discovered something and I thought it will be good if you know. Yesterday I did regenerate all my thumbnails and discovered the issue I told you here is present only on homepage and archives(category, tag ...etc) and strangelly enough on single post it works like it should.

@ckubs - could you send me an URL to your website to dziudek[at]gavick[dot]com ? Then I'll look at it on my free time :)

[dziudek]

I've emulated your problem on my localhost and as I see you have to wrongly edit file layouts/content.post.featured.php - this file contains the the_post_thumbnail() function in two places, and most probably, you have edited only the first occurence so the change is visible only on pages which are compatible with is_single()

[ckubs]

Problem fixed then ... If I want to male some kind of adjustments since hard cropping is not working you can tell me what functions file do I need to ediy yo add additional functions to the theme?

[dziudek]

Sorry but in my opinion you shouldn't do it in the theme - it needs changes in the core WP code or some plugin which will regenerate the thumbnails using specific operations.

[ckubs]

Ok but atlast can you tell me what is the functions file where I cand add aditional functions to my theme so I newer need to come with something like that here? On a normal non-framework theme there is only one functions.php, here I see more.

[dziudek]

I recommend to use file gavern/user.functions.php moved to the Child Theme - then you will be able to override the theme functionality without comparing files on the theme update.
