No thumbnail settings in edit image mode?

    In previous versions of WP there was this beautiful feature called “Thumbnail Settings” that was located under Edit image section.
    SCREENSHOT
    So when writing a blog and uploading featured image that was, let’s say too tall I could in attachments details panel enter this “Edit image” mode and under thumbnail setting crop the image, and that will affect just the thumbnail.
    But now that feature is missing and now when I crop an image in “Edit image” mode while uploading featured image it affects not only featured image but also the original image in media library, and that ofcourse is terrible workflow. Cause i would like to crop only the featured image, but let the original one remain intact.

    I tried to find some plugin to replace that feature but couldn’t find something that does the job easy and simple, in fact couldn’t find anything similar that works.

    Found this one , that is meant to bring back that original feature but after installing it, it just doesn’t work for me, the feature is not there.
    I also found this PHP code to insert it like it’s shown in the description of the page but also either I didn’t do it correctly or it doesn’t work.

    Please is there a way to bring back this feature, and if I can do it with updating php code instead of installing another plugin just for this it will be awesome. If not, is there some simple plugin that will do the job?

    Also please bring this feature back in the next update.
    Really couldn’t understand why removing it in the first lce since it is so helpfull and a lot of people were using it.

    tnx

    Why the Edit Image Thumbnails Separately – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org does not work? Can you enable debugging and let us know if there are any errors with it?

    ChatGPT debug suggestion:

    define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );

    Why the Edit Image Thumbnails Separately – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org does not work?

    Well that is something that I would also really like to know.
    I have tried to install the same plugin on the other website and it works with no problem, the only issue is obviously only on this one where I need it most.
    I tried uninstaling every single plugin except this one in case it’s conflicting with any other but no luck. I tried installing default twenty-twenty two theme, but also no luck.
    I’m really stuck with this and need to fix this issue :/

    this is my debug.log:

    [17-Jan-2024 01:42:08 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Function Advanced_Ads_Plugin::user_cap is deprecated since version 1.47.0!

    Can we first fix this Advanced_Ads_Plugin::user_cap error – Function Advanced_Ads_Plugin::user_cap is deprecated | WordPress.org . Can you then activate the  Edit Image Thumbnails Separately – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org again, clear the debug log and show us here, if there are any new errors coming up.

    So status:

    I detected that error above was displayed because of the Advanced Ads – tracking plugin.
    When I deactivated it there’s no error logs anymore.
    Not single one.
    But now still this “Edit Image Thumbnails Separately” doesn’t work unfortunatelly.
    Do you please have any more suggestions?

    Maybe I can help with some more informations that could be or not related to the core issue of this problem.
    I have plugin called “Simply gallery” installed on this website.
    In administrator role it’s working as it should, but in editor role it doesn’t have option to create galleries or albums… The only option it has it’s “Questions and FAQ”.
    I tested this same thing on other website and on there editors can create new galleries and albums. It’s only this website that have some restrictions or whatever.

    So obviously it’s something changed on this site that I have no idea what that is and where to look at.
    Both this plugins are images related so maybe there’s some hint, but I’t could be completly unrelated.

    If you want I can give you in private user and pass for my WP admin if you want to take a look, I would really appreciate it.
    It’s on testing domain and everything is in staging phase, and everything is backuped so don’t worry about anything if there’s need to change something in order this work.

    @lookazd, I am sorry, it is against the rules to share the password and username, altough I would love to help you out more, so let me think again.

    Could you contact Edit Image Thumbnails Separately – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org developers, creating a new topic here – [Edit Image Thumbnails Separately] Support | WordPress.org?

    UPDATE:
    well I was trying to solve this issue but so far no luck.
    I was looking through net to find some alternative plugin that will do the job, or at least something similar, and found one that is actually really bad, but it does the job.
    But that is acctually not the big news. The big news is that this alternative plugin that I found is somehow triggering that first one ( Edit Image Thumbnails Separately) to at least display, but unfortunately it’s not working.
    I don’t even know kow to explain it so I recorded a video to show you what I mean.

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i-LvYNeTpuq9AHL-7QZ1aZDC1dbhJVKu/view

    So when you watch that video you’ll see it’s obvious that something is overlaping and happening in the background, and something is holding that first plugin to work properly.
    But what that is and how to fix that I really have no idea :/

    Ok so I found the soultion/what was causing this plugin to not work.
    It’s so basicaly stupid that I feel a little ashamed right now after searching for solution for almost a week.
    All I needed to do was in Settings>Media under thumbnail size set for width and height whatever number.
    (I changed all numbers in Media settings to 0 long time ago.)

    After I set any number to thumbnail size, any image that is newly added have under edit image that section for changing thumbnail size from that plugin. But any previously added old images doesn’t have that option, so it was hard to detect why it’s not working until I added new image and checked it again. And that was trial and error process until I accidentally figured this out.

    What is funny/sad in all of this is now that I have this plugin finally working I figured out that it’s not doing what I thought it would do XD
    I still have problem that I want to crop featured image that is displaying as the main image of the single post, the way I want to, and not by default where only middle of the image is croped and affecting the original one too.
    So I still need to find the solution for this.

    One problem solved, many more to go 😀

    That is good progress and now we know exactly what you are looking for.

    Would this help you – set_post_thumbnail_size() – Function | Developer.WordPress.org?
