You are correct, the still image which is loaded as a preview for VideoPress is a low-res sample which you can designate from any point in your video which you upload to your site. At this time there is no way to upload a higher resolution version nor to pull a higher res still from the video itself.

I'd like to know the minimum size requirements for the image thumbnails that can be displayed right next to a post within a Category. There seems to be no mention of it in the theme page.

Thanks!

How is this fixed??

Im using Hatch to create a kind of photo blog/gallery, but I can't get it quite right. Take a look here: http://ostraatphotography.wordpress.com/
What I can't get is that in order to have that thumpnail on the home page I need to set an featured image, but then when I upload that that Images, it's displayed twice.

Is there any way to have that thumbnail on the front page leading into that image without the image is posted twice?

Thanks alot if anyone can come up with some help!

Please note that reconnecting Publicize with Facebook does not re-publicize missed posts, but it will work for future posts.

Unfortunately, we have no control over the images that Facebook chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.

1) if I want to publish only the link to my blog to facebook where do I set / upload the thumbnail? at the moment only the link and the blank icon would appear

2) if I connect with fb and post to the facebook automaticaly the post goes with the link e.g. http://wp.me/s3z6Xi-nude Where can I disable this link to appear next to the post?

I am new to wordpress and need some help with the last thing left to do on my blog before I can start posting!

I have created my blog in a customised Twenty Eleven theme and have basically kept it completely basic and minimal.

I have made it so only post appears at a time and then I created (with a LOT of help from justpi) a page which displays all the posts in thumbnails as tiles.

Now I want to add a link to this page at the bottom of my main page (where the posts are - one post per page) below the text of the post. So as it stands now, I add an image with every blog post and then add some text. Below this text I now have a "Older Posts" and "Newer Posts" links. Below these two links and in the middle, I would like a link to the page of thumbnails to read "View all Posts".

Can anyone help me with some CSS (if that is what I need), or with what it is I might need to make this possible?

Any help is much appreciated!

Thank you

I am new to wordpress and wondering if there is a solution to my problem.

I have made my blog so that only one post appears per page.
Now I want to add a page where all posts can be found in thumbnails with no description or title or anything like that, just the images (all my posts have images).

Is this possible to do?

Also, I dont have a menu. Is it possible to just add a button to this page I want to create of thumbnails??

Thank you
All help will be greatly appreciated

Any other takers???? :-D

The reason you cannot change the original size of the featured images is that they are hard coded into the theme. WordPress.com does not offer the option for you to change the underlying theme code because it's a shared service and the themes are used by many others at the same time. CSS editing can adjust elements the theme code introduces, but it cannot change underlying function—and the size of featured images is one of those things. If you were to setup a WordPress.org install on a separate web hosting account away from WordPress.com, then you would be the only one using the theme you install yourself and you would have the ability to edit the underlying theme code and update the featured image sizes that way.

Any other takers???? :-D

.featured-image img {
    width: 100%;
}

If you look around my wordpress.com site thiswanderinglife.com (own domain, not self-hosted) you'll see that I have successfully changed the width of the content. Huzzah!

However, if you scroll to the recent articles part, you can see that my thumbnails look cut off: they are the theme's standard size, and look only half as long as I would like them to be.

I was able to change the CSS for the rest of the content (check this post out for example http://ourparisianlife.wordpress.com/2013/05/06/paris-in-color-young-turquoise-in-paris/) I really just went into the custom editor part through the dashboard.

Can I change the automatic size of the thumbails for the recent articles section via CSS? I obviously don't use FTP since mine is not self hosted. Reading other threads I have figured out that the Oxygen theme creates three different sizid images for featured images- I would just like to change one of them.

Praises to all advice, helpful and otherwise.

I think the Gallery would be the best way to go. Do you have the Custom Design upgrade?

There likely is a way to modify the spacing/border/etc of the gallery pictures to work toward your end.

In either case, the workflow would be to delete/draft the individual page and then modify the gallery to remove that particular image.

Perhaps not a slam dunk, but my best thought!

Cheers!
