Featured Image

I think the featured image problem is happening from your theme. When you display a featured image, you’ve to specify the size of the image. For example, if you want to show thumbnail sized image, you’ve to use <?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?>. More details is here. That should solve your problem.

You can’t set the max height/width, but you can specify the image size. Smaller image size, smaller image 😉

This is the reply from the theme developers:

“Hi Richard,

Nick”

With custom fields I imagine he means an action hook?

I tried the featured image php command, but that just adds another thumbnail in the post on the homepage/category page…

Perhaps the css class is the answer? Even have 3 featured image fields with 1,2, or 3 column choice?

Thanks!

I think he is saying it right. I thought you were using the “Featured Image” field? If you are using the “Image Upload” field for uploading image and use the “Custom Fields in post” option from the plugin settings, the plugin will add the uploaded images in full size.

Technically, only one image can be featured image and you need to use “Featured Image” field from the “Post Fields” section of “Form Elements”. I hope that will make sense to you.

Hi Tareq,

as I mentioned to them, I am already using the Featured Image field….

Hi NIck,

Thanks!
Richard

Thanks,
Richard

P.S. I tried CSS classes to no avail…the php command is probably somewhere missing in the theme. If all else fails, reposting the post and setting the width of the post, and maybe sometimes changing the image size afterwards should be no problem, if it isn’t like 200 posts a day. 🙂

Can you post your site details (as a private reply)? I might check whats going on over there.

Can you point me what post should I be looking at? Any pointer?

Best bet is posting a test post. 🙂

Hi Richard,

I posted a new post with featured image. The featured image is showing in the single post, but not on the homepage. Is that the problem?

Yes. 🙂

Right, so the theme is doing something. I didn’t understood, but “Nick” already mentioned it. There is a custom field “media_use” and it needs to have the value “image”. When you are creating posts from WPUF, that custom field is not being added and thats the problem.

Insert this php code in your themes functions.php and it should work from now.
[php]
/**
* Update the custom field when the form submits
*
* @param type $post_id
*/
function wpufe_folio_grid( $post_id ) {
update_post_meta( $post_id, ‘media_use’, ‘image’ );
}

add_action( ‘wpuf_add_post_after_insert’, ‘wpufe_folio_grid’ );
add_action( ‘wpuf_edit_post_after_update’, ‘wpufe_folio_grid’ );
[/php]

That worked! Thanks, Tareq! Having much fun with this plugin…!

Cool, glad to know. If you liked the support and the plugin, we would be glad to have a testimonial from you 🙂
