jodoran on "Linking PDF to JPG in gallery"

I apologize, as I've posted this twice. I was referring to my crookedneedles.net/ blog with these two questions.

jodoran on "Linking PDF to JPG in gallery"

jodoran — Mon, 20 May 2013 16:07:39 +0000

I have two questions:
1. I know how to link an image to a PDF, but I would like to create a gallery page of images - with each image linked to a separate PDF. Is this possible? Right now I have several images linked to PDFs, but they are in a vertical row: crookedneedles.net/hats/
2. Is there a simple way to link an image to a PDF? This is how I do it. I upload all the PDFs and all the JPGs - then I go in and individually change the URL of the image to connect to the PDF.
Thank you!

Hello.
So, I've been looking for some kind of page update notification plugin that allows members to see when a page has been updated after they logged in on the website.

I've noticed that Mingle Forum uses a 'new'.gif that shows when there's a reply to a comment in the forum itself.

I'd like to see some kind of .gif next to the name of the page. Similar to what Facebook uses to notify the members. And it truly be amazing if it would show a notification instantly, so members can jump to that page immediately to see what's going on.

Can't find anything about it though.
The notification by email plugin is very annoying, cause I receive about 90 emails a day about new posts, I'd just like to see it on the website itself.

Thanks in advance :)

No, there is no way that I know of to do that since the image code is in the theme PHP script files, so there is no way to add a title attribute.

lyonsvillechurch — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 01:50:15 +0000

The JPG file I'm using in my header won't display it's title when I hover over it. The same JPG DOES display it's title when not in the header.

Is there a way to make the header's image show it's title when hovering over the image? I'm using the Twenty Eleven theme.

Thanks.

Ok, I can see that it's fixed now, but now I have to bother you guys with a new problem.

The new headers I upload only works a couple of times, and then they go blank. Both png and jpegs. The wierd part is that they work the first two minutes, and then they don't, leaving the header with a big blank square appr. 1000x1000 px on the front page.

The old headers I use stay the same and works fine.

@jepperuud-According to the trac ticket mentioned above, it should have already been fixed, though I don't know for certain if the fix has been deployed on WordPress.com (likely). Have you tried again recently?

jepperuud — Mon, 07 May 2012 23:18:48 +0000

Hi, I would like to know if the problem is gonna be fixed, or if the header photos from now on will look like shit?

thesacredpath on "Heavy jpeg compression for header image"

thesacredpath — Wed, 02 May 2012 17:37:07 +0000

@michiecat, thanks for the explanation and I'll look in on the trac ticket. It sounds like I can live with the bulk of this, but would also like to see it not downgrade the quality of a correctly sized JPG. I know that in some cases people don't optimize their header images (they don't know) and they can end up huge and cause slow page loading, but for those of use that do optimize images before uploading to the web, this would also present a problem.

I'll wait and see where it all comes out.

@thesacredpath - I understand the frustration. It looks like this was an oversight because the flexible header feature is so new.

From what I can gather from watching the core ticket so far, the fix will involve preserving the PNG format as well as transparency. If you're interested, you can view the core ticket here: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/20555

Thanks for looking into this, WordPress crew!

thesacredpath on "Heavy jpeg compression for header image"

thesacredpath — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 08:03:38 +0000

Hmmm, this sounds unfortunate. With graphic type headers, I always save as PNG to preserve crisp lines and text, and if wordpress is going to turn those into low quality JPGs that is going to be unfortunate and unacceptable. This will especially be true with a responsive width theme as you need all the quality and sharpness you can get due to the header resizing that goes on for smaller screens.

What is the intended outcome of the core fix?

michiecat on "Heavy jpeg compression for header image"

michiecat — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 07:23:58 +0000

@thesacredpath:

Yes, if you are using a theme that supports flexible width or flexible height headers (a new feature in the upcoming WordPress 3.4 which alllows your header width and/or height to be as wide or as tall as you like), you will be prompted to crop the image, no matter the dimensions of the image. Unfortunately the image will be saved as a lower-quality JPG.

This is a bug with WordPress itself, and a core ticket has been filed. I checked on the ticket and developers are aware of the issue.

thesacredpath on "Heavy jpeg compression for header image"

thesacredpath — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 08:39:29 +0000

@michiecat, perhaps you could clarify some things.

Does this mean that if we prepare an image ahead of time that is the exact size and quality we want, that no matter what, the wordpress software is going to force a crop on the image and re-save it as a lower quality image?

jepperuud on "Heavy jpeg compression for header image"

jepperuud — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 07:42:46 +0000

Thanks for the response. I'm not advanced in any way and can wait for the problem to be fixed.

michiecat on "Heavy jpeg compression for header image"

michiecat — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 07:34:56 +0000

It turns out that this is a bug with the core WordPress software. I have filed a core ticket. I can't give a timeframe for when it will be fixed since it's a core issue, but core developers are aware of it.

Basically, because of the new flexible-width and flexible-height header feature, you are always prompted to crop, even if your image has the exact suggested dimensions.

I apologize for the inconvenience. In the meantime, if your Custom Header is a transparent PNG, you could try adding it as a background image through CSS if you have the Custom Design upgrade, or you could switch to a different theme that does not use flexible headers. These are the themes that currently support flexible headers.

We recently updated Twenty Eleven to allow for flexible height header images, which is a new feature in the upcoming WordPress 3.4. It looks like this started happening around the time we made this change.

I was able to replicate the issue in my testing. I'm looking into it and will keep you posted.

Bump

The problem still exsists!

thesacredpath on "Heavy jpeg compression for header image"

thesacredpath — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 19:19:21 +0000

Now that is interesting. The first header I uploaded uploaded as I set it, but the new one I just tried presented me with a crop box and then turned it into a JPG.

This is seriously unacceptable and needs to be fixed. There are image/graphic types that should NOT be automatically turned into a JPG as it seriously reduces the sharpness and quality.

P.S. I flagged this thread so it gets moved to the Themes Forum. Then we can get Themes Staff to tell us why this is happening on the Twenty Eleven theme.

timethief on "Heavy jpeg compression for header image"

timethief — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 19:07:26 +0000

It's happening to me as well. My "featured images" which become headers on Twenty Eleven were all compressed and presized properly prior to me uploading them into my personal blog. However, yesterday every featured image I uploaded prompted the software to present me with the cropping tool. Why this is suddenly happening now when it did not happen previously is beyond me.

jepperuud on "Heavy jpeg compression for header image"

jepperuud — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:08:04 +0000

Ok, nothing seems to work. I have done this before without any problems. Not even jpeg's in 1000x288 in 72 dpi can be uploaded without it being compressed to death.

Am I missing something?

jepperuud on "Heavy jpeg compression for header image"

jepperuud — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 11:31:43 +0000

Thanks, didn't think of the dpi, but unfortunatly it didn't work even though it was the exact settings. I may just just try different things...

thesacredpath on "Heavy jpeg compression for header image"

thesacredpath — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 09:06:13 +0000

Make sure the images are being saved from your image program at 72dpi and also at exactly the size required for the theme you are using. I just uploaded a blank colored PNG at 1000 x 288 at 72dpi and it uploaded without cropping.

jepperuud on "Heavy jpeg compression for header image"

jepperuud — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 08:55:10 +0000

I'm using the theme twenty eleven where the header image's resolution should be 1000x288. Previous I have uploaded png files with these exact proportions and they just showed up as png files without any compression. But now when I do the same thing, wordpress wants me to crop and what then happens is that my png-file becomes a heavy compressed jpeg-file which looks awefull!

What to do?

almostartist — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:07:57 +0000

its so weird the image looks perfect in illustrator

and why the same image uploaded 2 different ways looks different makes little sense

panaghiotisadam on "same uploaded jpeg looks different in Custom Header ...?"

panaghiotisadam — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:21:59 +0000

Yes I can see the differences: the one is pixelated, the other is blurred (both bad). I guess this has to do with the way you created the image in Illustrator, but I'm afraid I can't say something more ingenious: I've got no experience with this application.
