yaa baron is absolutely right….

You donâ€™t need to modify the code anymore… now wordpress deals with it…

You don’t need to modify the code anymore, WordPress has a setting for thumbnails. I just updated the info on this post.

Before I try this I want to make sure it is compatible with WP 2.5. Also, do you know whether it will work when adding pics using image manager or other such plug-ins?
For some reason I’m getting super tiny (like maybe 40px square) for thumbnails and can’t figure pout why. I changed the settings in the Misc section for thumbnail size but it had no effect. I looked at my themes CSS and other files and couldn’t see anything about thumbnails. (Though I’m no expert).
Any thoughts on all this?

Hmmm—800 different lines in Dreamweaver when I open it up—any idea what line? No problem, if not

Thanks for your patience

This only works for the latest versions of WordPress. For earlier versions go here:

Thanks so much, Baron—but I don’t see image.php in the Wp-admin folder! Any clue…

You will find it in the same directory as your blog address. So you’ll see lots of files with wp- at the start of their filenames, with wp-admin being the first of those files.

Dumb question: Where do I find the wp-admin folder, exactly?

Sorry for ignorance, thanks for the help!

I don’t want to edit my thumbnail sizes but I’d like to increase the upload limit of my images and the limited size. Currently it’s on..

3 * 1024 * 1024

I tried changing it to:

8 * 2048 * 2040

However, when I tried uploading an image larger than 1024 the thumbnail option wasn’t available.

Are you experiencing the same problem?

I found that I needed to change this line…

function wp_shrink_dimensions( $width, $height, $wmax = 128, $hmax = 96 )

Thanks for the great tutorial. Follow-up question for you. Is there a way to make it so that it’s always 400 pixels wide? I don’t care about the height, but I would like the width to always be 400. Thanks again.

Many thanks.
Every time I update I have to go looking for that dreaded ‘wp_thumbnail_max_side_length’ code

1. Save your photo as jpeg on your computer.
2. When wrting a new post/page click on the ‘Browse’ button below the editing window where the tab ‘Upload’ should be highlighted
3. Locate your file on your computer and choose it
4. Give it a Title & Description if wanted, click ‘Upload’
5. Choose ‘Thumbnail’ and ‘File’ button as in the example shown and click ‘Send to editor’
