I’ve used Post Thumbnail Editor on many sites, its really very good. Just remember when it opens, that it opened in a new tab, once you’re done cropping, close the tab to get back to where yo were http://wordpress.org/plugins/post-thumbnail-editor/
Look at this answer by Chip Bennet – Medium / Large images sizes aren’t cropped by default ( and I also just verified on my install ). You can change the cropping of Thumbnails in Settings -> Media. It sounds like what you really need is just a new image size via add_image_size() which is … Read more
If you don’t want to modify the theme or add a child theme to handle post thumbnail support, you can do it via a plugin by attaching a callback to the after_setup_theme hook: <?php /* Plugin Name: WPSE Post Thumbnail Support Plugin URI: Description: Adds post thumbnail support to theme. Version: 0.0.1 Author: Author URI: … Read more
<?php if(has_post_thumbnail()) the_post_thumbnail(‘themolio-featured-image’); else echo wp_get_attachment_image($attachment_id, ‘themolio-featured-image’); ?> The above code displays the featured image if the post has one, otherwise the image define by $attachment_id. I don’t know how you’re deciding which category term should display which image & what to do in case of multiple categories, so the part where you initialize $attachment_id … Read more
This is usually what I go with: /** Use “Featured Image” Box As A Custom Box **/ function customposttype_image_box() { remove_meta_box(‘postimagediv’, ‘page’, ‘side’); add_meta_box(‘postimagediv’, __(‘Set Dat Image’), ‘post_thumbnail_meta_box’, ‘page’, ‘side’); } add_action(‘do_meta_boxes’, ‘customposttype_image_box’); /** Change “Featured Image” box Link Text **/ function custom_admin_post_thumbnail_html( $content ) { global $post; if($post->post_type == ‘page’) { $content = str_replace( … Read more
This is my proposal, combine get_ancestors and a custom $wpdb query, to retrieve featured images. An example custom function: function inherited_featured_image( $page = NULL ) { if ( is_numeric( $page ) ) { $page = get_post( $page ); } elseif( is_null( $page ) ) { $page = isset( $GLOBALS[‘post’] ) ? $GLOBALS[‘post’] : NULL; } … Read more
One way is to do this dynamically: function do_the_replacements($matches){ // $matches[0] = full string // $matches[1] = link attributes // $matches[2] = link contentes (the image) // change ‘someclass’ here… if(strpos($matches[2], ‘someclass’) !== false){ return ‘ <div class=”featured-img”> <a ‘.$matches[1].’>’.$matches[2].'</a> <div class=”corner-nw”></div> <div class=”corner-ne”></div> <div class=”corner-sw”></div> <div class=”corner-se”></div> </div> ‘; } // no matches, leave … Read more
IMHO, I think there’s no much of a solution in the WordPress filters realm… I managed to make it work using jQuery. Maybe there’s a cleaner way to write this, but it is functional as it is now. Tested in WP 3.1 through 3.4-alpha4 /* * Display Image Dimensions on Media Uploader tabs (Gallery and … Read more
The thumbnail is stored as a meta with a key of _thumbnail_id, so that could be used to find posts that have thumbnails. Something like this: $query = new WP_Query(array( ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘_thumbnail_id’, ‘value’ => ‘0’, ‘compare’ => ‘>=’, ) ) ));
Ensure that your Theme supports Post Thumbnails, and that the client sets a “Featured Image” for each post. Then, combine the_excerpt() with the_post_thumbnail(), e.g. like so: <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> <div id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>> <div class=”featured-image”><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></div> <div class=”post-excerpt”><?php the_excerpt(); ?></div> </div> … Read more
