Image and Thumbnail (Default) Sizing - What's the Best Way To Do This?

Featured Replies

Hello everyone,

I searched for this topic, and couldn't find it here - it's an extremely basic issue.

Ever since the major version upgrade, photos posted to my website are HUGE, and there aren't any thumbnails. I've found settings such as "Maximum Thumbnail Resolution" in the ACP, but these don't seem to address what I'm looking for.

When a user posts a photo, I'd like to auto-convert it to a "normal" thumbnail size (not too big, not so tiny that you can't see it), and when a reader clicks on the thumbnail, it would of course expand.

The ability to "drag the corners" of photos isn't a good fix because it's nearly impossible to drag multiple photos to be a uniform size.

The little gear thing at the top-right of the photo has several settings, one of which is a "Custom" width, but it would be nice not to force posters to use that each time.

So ... is there an ACP setting that will set the default thumbnail sizes while allowing the readers to expand the thumbnails?

This is such a basic question that I'm questioning my sanity in not being able to find the answer. 🤕

Cheers,
Don

That is indeed the correct setting. Bear in mind, its not retrospective. It will affect only items posted after the point at which you change the setting
