[Support request] Show Posts Images Not Working

Hey Paul,

Just went to the problem page and I’m seeing the images now. Is it working for you as well? Try clearing your browser cache.

Interesting. The plugin is using this library for image resizing: https://github.com/syamilmj/Aqua-Resizer

In the near future, I’ll be removing that and trying a more native WP approach.

It’s definitely not the best way to resize images.

We’ll be implementing a way to use built-in WP sizes, and then object-fit for cropping. I can help you implement a solution like this for now if you’d like?

Here’s what I would do right now:

1. Create a new image size in WP:

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function() {
    add_image_size( 'your-size-name', 500, 500, true );
} );

true tells it to hard crop the image.

2. Regenerate your thumbnails so this size exists using a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

3. Tell WPSP to use this new size:

add_filter( 'wpsp_default_image_size', function() {
    return 'your-size-name';
} );

Adding PHP: https://docs.wpshowposts.com/article/adding-php/

Isn’t that what we’re trying to do? If you don’t want the images to have a set size, you can just ignore the image sizing options in the list settings.

That’s the automatic resizer that WPSP uses.

The method I outlined above doesn’t use that automatic resizer – it uses WordPress functions.
