I wouldn’t bother doing that. I’d just find the places in your theme files that call the custom field (probably something like “echo get_post_meta(‘bigimage’)” or something) and replace those with a the_post_thumbnail() tag. This saves you the trouble of messing with the data, and it makes administration much, much simpler going forward–which is kind of … Read more
I think I understand what you want, and the problem you are having. I don’t have code, but can point you toward some useful resources. I’m not sure how you are inserting an image into your excerpts on the homepage. My guess is that you are using the More tag in the post editor, inserted … Read more
It’s because the div#imglink is set to height: 150px; in your css. Change it to the same height as the images in the slider.
TimThumb is enough of a resource drain on a non-network install; I can only imagine how much more of a resource drain it would be on a network install. Rather than trying to make TimThumb work on your network install, why not just use the core Post Thumbnail functionality? TimThumb is absolutely unnecessary in WordPress.
General idea would be to loop through all attachments to retrieve, modify and write back their meta. Something like this (test thoroughly before using on anything important): $posts = get_posts(array( ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘numberposts’ => -1, )); foreach( $posts as $post ) { // retrieve data, unserialized automatically $meta = get_post_meta($post->ID,’_wp_attachment_metadata’, true); // do stuff … Read more
You can use CSS3 background-size to make your background-images stretch to cover the area of the box. If you then create a containing box positioned absolutely over the whole page, you can put your slides in there. At that point it is just a matter of fading them in and out, something which can be … Read more
As long as you use WP API ($wpdb) to perform queries, they will be cached by caching plugins (well, by those that have such functionality). If you need to cache data that is more compelx to generate rather than just retrieve look into Transients API.
You can media_sideload_image() function to upload your files ex: $upload = media_sideload_image( $url, $post_id ); or you can use a plugin like Cache Images which uploads all external images to your server as attachments.
Turn off PHP Safe Mode, or get your host to do it for you. Lots and lots of things won’t work in safe mode. C’mon. Live on the edge. That’s where the fun is. 🙂
Try using wp_get_attachment_image() (Codex ref)? echo wp_get_attachment_image( $attachmentid, $imagesize ); Where $attachmentid is the attachment ID, and $imagesize is the name of the image size in the add_image_size() call. EDIT For a custom-field stored image SRC URL, I’m not finding any way to make use of intermediate image sizes defined via add_image_size() (or even the … Read more
