Post-header-image not cropping

[Kathrin]

Sorry for some problems with my english first…

I’m relative new on blogging, set um generatepress Premium a week a go and it did all well. Today I got an Update an now my post header images don’t get hardcropped anymore, although it is enabled. The menu changed to german language with the update, too. (Which is my mothertonge)

I want the post header to be 1020x250px (full width of my blog). I enable Hardcropping, choose middle from the drop down menu and set in the numbers. But the picture displays scaled to a hight of 250, not cropped.

How can I change this? Do I make a mistake?

Hi there,

That’s very odd – can you possibly link me to the page where the cropped image is supposed to be?

[Kathrin]

For exaple

For example http://hauptsache-haus.de/letzte-planaenderung/

I’m sorry… I changed some features for the whole blog, for example container width in layout, and then undid these changes back to what it was before… and now the problem is solved. I don’t understand what was wrong, but now it is ok…

Ah, we removed the on-the-fly image resizer (was causing too many weird bugs) and replaced it with the default WP image resizer. WP must have needed the dimensions to be re-saved before it worked on the page.

I’ll make some changes that will fix this, but you shouldn’t encounter anymore issues now that you’ve saved your settings 🙂

Hi Tom!
I got the same problem, but didn’t change anything before the update.
The images just don’t center and don’t crop anymore.

Btw: do the new sections have a somehow limited width?
Even when I set both types to fluid the sections don’t fill the screen.

Regards,
Reinhold

Hi Reinhold,

Can you go into “Customize” and change the post image dimensions and save, and then change them back and save – does that fix it?

As for the sections, are you using the one container setting?

[Reinhold]

Hi Tom, thanks!
For the sections: that’s it. I changed the container setting…
For the images: 🙁
Don’t know why, but it seems to be stubborn.
Tried several times without success.
We’ll see…

[Tom]

I’ll fix that Sections issue for the next update.

Is the image cropping at all? Or is it just not cropping to a specific position?

[Reinhold]

They don’t crop in any position and images are always on the left,
whatever the setting for them is.
I switched off the plugin that has caused some problems in the past (eww image optimizer),
but this didn’t help, too.

Ah! We were using a resizing script that allowed us to choose where to crop from (with some tweaking).

However, that script was causing some bugs for people, so I figured out a way to use the built in WordPress resizer (I’m always looking to use core WP functions).

However, the core resizer doesn’t allow us to set a crop position (yet).

Of course, I’m looking into a solution for this 🙂
