Guys, I've been trying to solve this problem for months, and I can't seem to get a single help from the Wordpress site via their support forum. Either no one knows what I'm talking about, or no one knows how to solve it. Okay, it's like this: Wordpress allows you to upload image files that can then be made linkable to a separate page via a thumbnail, correct? The problem with this for me is, when a user clicks on the thumbnail, they are taken to the page alright, but the image shown there is compressed. But the thing is, the WHOLE IMAGE loads, it's just compressed for some reason. If you click on the image again, it gives you the full size. What I want to do is pretty simple: When the user clicks on the thumbnail, it opens the image in another page as before, but this time I want the FULL ORIGINAL SIZE to show up, not a compressed version. Does anyone out there know how to accomplish this? Any help would be appreciated.
Hi The compressed version shows just because the image is simply too big to fit your window (it fully loads, but you have to click it in order to zoom). I don't think there's something to be done about it, besides shrinking the image to an acceptable ratio.
Hi I too think the image is automatically shrunk to fit the screen. Some users have this feature activated on their browsers and some don't (Tools-Advanced-'Zoom'). Personally, I would use smaller images to link to and/or post bigger images on Flickr or such to save Bandwidth.
You and the others would be wrong. Besides checking the results on both Firefox and IE, I've always made sure the images were smaller (at times, MUCH smaller) than the given width/height of the page it was opening in. As far as I can tell, the compressed version that shows up is almost exactly 30% of the width of the page, regardless of the ACTUAL size of the image. In any case, does anyone know of coding or how to make the image page output conform to a specific (or within a certain limit) size?
Have you ever uploaded image files with Wordpress and linked it to a page? It's the same result for every blog I've ever seen.
It may be the browser's problem or that the size is too big. Also try changing the file extension of the pic. It sometimes work. The best thing is you post your particular blog so that someone can help it
Check your link before you click through to the page. It's possible that the link is actually linking to a page with the thumbnail. The URL for the thumbnail is different from the URL for the full image. If it's linking with the thumbnail, there should be a pretty easy fix for it, but I'm not sure what it is.
You don't need to see it. I already drew you a picture. If you can't figure it out from what I've told you, then you clearly aren't expert enough to help me anyway. So nevermind. I already figured out how to fix it.
WOW! Thats a first! Well glad you fixed it anyway. Yeah, you are right, I can't just visualize what you are talking about. I suck What can I say?
