The better way would be to use Windows Live Writer. It’s a Microsoft product that’s part of the Windows Live Essentials suite. This program allows you to copy-paste content from a Word document, or just build the post out as you would in Word. But the advantage is that it can also talk directly to … Read more
You can get the attached media to a post using get_children. IE: get the first attached image for post ID == 14 $args = array( ‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’, ‘numberposts’ => 1, ‘post_parent’ => 14, ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’ ); $first_attached_image = get_children( $args );
If you need the images to be the same width but varying heights (ie not 300 x 300 but 300 x anything) then in settings -> media add 9999 to the height of whichever image size you want to use. You can also define your own custom thumbnail using the same principle: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size [EDIT] As … Read more
You’re right, it’s because by default, wp_handle_sideload() requires a valid extension in the URI in order to continue processing the sideload. That is, unless your role has a capability called ‘unfiltered_upload‘, which by default is only given to admins. If it seems appropriate (and safe) for you to grant this capability to the user role … Read more
(Cut/pasted from the OP.) SOLUTION: As it turns out, this is very simple. Go to your Dashboard –> Genesis –> Theme Settings Now in the box labelled “Content Archives” select “Display Post Excerpts” from the drop down menu. Now make sure the “Include the Featured Image” box is checked and select your image size. Save … Read more
Okay, I had the same problem and just solved it by adding an “exclude” field to the shortcode. Like so… You have to just pull the ID number of the file you don’t want to show. This works without adding any functions or edits to the theme.
Use wp_get_attachment_image( $id ). Sample code: print wp_get_attachment_image( $main_image, array ( 80, 80 ), FALSE, array ( ‘alt’ => ‘portrait’ ) );
Who would say the solution would be this simple… After days battling with this, somehow it struck me: “what if we switch_to_blog() inside the media upload iframe?” What if we require the user to save the post before uploading any images? Turns out I had no answer to why we weren’t doing this on the … Read more
You should reorganize the way you store the images: Make the uploaded files children of that particular post, do not put them in a post meta field. Then get all the images with get_children(). Look at the built-in handler for the shortcode for some examples. I should go like this: $args = array( ‘post_mime_type’ => … Read more
Use the second parameter of wp_get_attachment_image_src(): $size. $att = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $att_ID, ‘large-thumb’ ); or $att = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $att_ID, array ( 900, 300 ) ); The size is passed to image_downsize() and there to image_get_intermediate_size(). If $size is an array WordPress will search for the best match in existing images: // from wp-includes/media.php::image_get_intermediate_size() // get the … Read more
