In my functions.php I have defined the following:

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
set_post_thumbnail_size( 475, 475, true );

I have used the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to regenerate the thumbnails.

When calling <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>, the images do not look cropped. When checking my uploads folder I do not see any thumbnails set for 475x475.

Thoughts?

I've figured this out. Appears as though I really wanted add_image_size('post', 475, 475, true); and then reran the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin. After sorting out a permissions error on /wp-content/uploads, this worked great.

Then in my theme, I just displayed this image size for the post thumbnail. the_post_thumbnail('post');

I understand that you'd like to use <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>, but i'd use timthumb:

  1. install http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/katalyst-timthumb/
  2. instead of the_post_thumbnail() try <?php the_post_thumbnail( array(475,475) ); ?>

hope it works ;)

  • Thanks for this. While this is an easy fix, I'd prefer something built in.

  • ok so try this with the same code and plugin you used before : 1) set media size in config -> media -> 475x475 2) regenerate thumbnails 3) check if it worked

  • If I change my medium thumbnail, that won't affect post-thumbnail will it? Just attachment thumbnail is my understanding.
