Vertical images in posts

    When I place a vertical image in a post, it will NOT appear on the front presentation page or on an excerpt of the post. In fact, if I use a thumbnail of a vertical post, same problem. Horizontal images work just fine. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Thanks.

    More info on this – I deactivated all plug-ins, except the cryoutcreations settings. No change. I then, with all plug-ins activated, changed to a ‘standard’ wordpress theme. The problem went away. This seems to say it’s a theme problem – a really strange theme problem – but still.

    Were the images uploaded before or after you switched to Nirvana? Try recreating the thumbnails if the images were already in the library as Nirvana has its own featured image size option and looks for the desired image size.

    The images were uploaded after Nirvana was installed. I did find a fix, however. If I select “Image” for the post format, vertical images work fine. Is that your intent? Seems strange that “Standard” wouldn’t work for vertical images.

    WordPress creates cropped/resized thumbnails out of your featured image files (based on its and the theme’s configured options). If the configured size is landscape and cropping is enabled, the thumbnails of portrait images will also be landscape (with plenty of the image missing). If cropping is not enabled, WordPress will try to resize the original images to fit in the configured constraints (making the thumbnail very small).

    Mixing portrait and landscape images for post featured images will create this kind of resize/crop/layout issues.

    If you use the image post format, images are displayed full size (that’s how the image post format works).
