the only thing you can actually do is to rebuild (all) thumbnails (i.e. with the plugin regenerate-thumbnails or AJAX Thumbnail Rebuild, will only work if php gets enough memory)… would be better if wordpress itself would just generate the missing thumbnails when the appropriate functions are used…

(and for the forum, you can change the language at the bottom of the page)…

I think I’ve figured it (maybe). I noticed this pattern (so maybe it has nothing to do with whether “Order by: random” or “Order by: latest” is chosen.

When the thumbnail was created by older WordPress – prior to when newer WordPress now creates 3 types of images – small thumbnail, medium thumbnail, large)… meaning, older WordPress prior to (2.7?) created only ONE thumbnail i.e. with this file name .: imagename.thumbnail.jpg …

Well, the new version of your plugin does not use that old thumbnail file (created by older WordPress versions) and instead displays the full-size image.

I didn’t notice this before with “Order by: latest”… because I just realized that those latest thumbnails were created by WordPress 2.7 and up.

I think this is a backwards compatibility issue – as many blog have older thumbnails created by older versions of WordPress. It’s a compatibility issue (not about plugin support old WordPress version) but about supporting previous thumbnails created by older WordPress (even though blog has updated to newer WordPress).

I updated to version 1.1.7 and now when I select “Order by: random”, “sometimes” the random images will be the original full-size instead of thumbnails. The only way I could fix this was to change the CSS to display width and height I want. But of course, the full-size images are still loading (and hence, adding to page load time) – big impact if one choose to load several thumbnails. However, this never seems to happen with “Order by: latest” – I’ve tested it on a two websites (keep refreshing page load).

This didn’t seem to happen before with older versions. Please help. Thank you in advance.

Great plugin, BTW. One of my fave plugins. Also THANK YOU very much for adding “Titletype: post”!!! I’ve been wanting this feature since I started using this plugin.

Thank you.

i do not get this message in any of my blogs…

in the configuration screen for the widget it shows the same text, instead of the normal form to enter parameters.

2. tell some more details, i.e. which options do you use/how do you upload the pictures (are the pictures assigned to a post)…

(i think you use the category-option “all”, and/or your pictures aren’t attached to posts (or to posts not yet published)…

great plugin but got some strange problem.. I wanna display 10 random pictures on my sidebar and when you click on it, you go on a page where there the picture. My pictures are not all included in articles. The plugin displays the pictures correctly on the sidebar, all of them, randomly, perfect. But they only show up in a new page when I’m previously connected to the admin page of wordpress. When I’m not connected, it doesn’t work. Therefore, it doesn’t work for visitors at all : they see the pictures, but the website doesn’t reckon the attchment page.
Do you have any idea of what would this come from ?

Thx in advance

“Faster Image Insert” kenn ich jetzt nicht (kann ich also nix zu sagen), aber leider kommt es immer wieder vor das Bilder nicht richtig zugeordnet werden. Ich hoffe auf 2.9 (oder 3.0) und vll. irgendwann der Möglichkeit Bilder direkt einer Kategorie zu ordnen zu können (ohne den Umweg über die Beiträge)
