Duotone – prevent activation of “horizontal” layout (always default to vertical)

  • Unknown's avatar

    Ugh, I can’t seem to get this image to resize at ALL.

    http://lolebrity.net/2010/02/05/liquid-link-love/

    I took out all the class code from the image (since it was “full size”) and added the ?w=550 and nada, nothing happened. And then I just went to the visual editor and dragged the corners and nada.

    No, don’t remove or add any part of the code and don’t drag: in Monotone and Duotone no size option has any effect. Grab this (500px wide):

    By the way, this busting out is something I haven’t ever been able to reproduce in my tests blog.

    Is your test blog hosted at Wp.com? Because that version of Lolebrity is not. I never had that issue when the blog was hosted here.

    Works beautifully, thanks! So I’ll try resizing via picnik again for tomorrow.

    “Is your test blog hosted at Wp.com? Because that version of Lolebrity is not.” Yes, mine is a wp.com one, and that explains it, I guess…

    There may be yet another quirk, so could you please do me a favor: publish a new post with the copy I gave you and see if the result will be the same.

    You mean the same image? I inserted it into my old post and it centered and has borders on each side.

    The new post is identical:
    http://lolebrity.net/2001/02/05/test-post/

    [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="500" caption="Hugh Jackman roller man"]<img alt="Hugh Jackman roller man" src="http://wpbtips.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/hugh-jackman-rolls-wit-it-ds.jpg" title="Hugh Jackman roller man" width="500" height="958" />[/caption]

    Interesting: the other post, the real one, has stripped out caption code and width and height codes, but there is no difference at all in what’s displayed.

    I’m using Monotone on that blog

    Okay. My suggestion still stands, though, because he may be able to shed some light and tell if this is actually a bug or a server thing. For instance, if you upload your Kermit picture to your wp.com hosted blog, and add the qs to the end of the image, for instance ?w=400, the width of the image will get resized to 400px even though its actual width is 650, whereas if you do this on a self-hosted blog, the qs won’t affect the image whatsoever….

    Okay, I will pass it along.

    Very odd: on some old photos, they’re busting out on the right-hand side and I delete them, upload the exact same image, the exact same size, with a slightly different name and POOF! they work suddenly. It’s very peculiar.

    the exact same size, with a slightly different name and POOF! they work suddenly.

    What name did your images have? I mean, what did you originally named them and what is the slightly changed name? Maybe there’s something in the name that the software doesn’t like? Maybe you can test this by uploading an image with a “bad” name and then, without deleting it, upload one with a “good” name to see if you get the same results.

    Will do and report back.
