I’ve had a look around but apologies if this has been covered before…
Whatever setting I set the preview size to for the gallery when creating the field, it always displays the image huge when creating/preview a gallery in a page or post (back-end). The same thing happens with an image field actually (only just noticed this) so perhaps this is in the wrong place but at the moment I’m working on a gallery!
Is this a known bug? It’s really cluttering up the back-end on pages and even with a few images, the page is suddenly really long. I’ve done a screengrab here to show what it looks like (I’ve got the preview size set to thumbnail here).
Hi @NatHobson
Potentialy, the images you are selecting do not exist at the cropped size you want. Have you recently created the image size?
You may need to use a plugin such as ‘regenerate thumbnails’ to create the image files.
Ah, OK. I’m currently trying to use the default “thumbnail” size available in ACF. However, I’ve tried all the standard size options AFC has and none of them work for me.
I will try the regenerate thumbnail plugin buy if this worked, presumably I’d have to do this every time an image was added to the site which is not ideal for a client.
Thanks for the help,
Nat
EDIT:
OK, figured it out. I was using images that were already uploaded into the media gallery to test with so they didn’t have thumbnails create as you quite rightly said. If I upload fresh images it works correctly (uses thumbnail previews)
