This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

Image Formatr

تفصیل

Image Formatr is a simple plugin that goes through all the content images on
posts & pages, and with zero user changes:

  1. gives them a standardized thumbnail format using CSS
  2. puts a caption underneath each one using the title
  3. makes them linked so they popup in full size

Thumbnails are not generated, but will be used if available in the media library.
This plugin is driven by the prettyPhoto
library so we could call this plugin a prettyPhoto integration plugin.

*Note: Supports images on Flickr.

Usage

This only applies to the images you put in your content, not theme graphics.

<img
  src="/images/picture.jpg"
  class="alignright"
  title="A sample caption"
  link="http://example.com/"
  hint="Image borrowed from example.com"
/>

After the plugin runs, the output to the browser looks like:

<div class="img alignright">
  <a
    href="/images/picture.jpg"
    rel="prettyPhoto[main]">
    <img
      src="/images/picture.jpg"
      title="Image borrowed from example.com" alt=""
      width="140" height="90"/>
  </a>
  <div style="width: 100%;">
    <a href="http://example.com/" target="_blank">A sample caption</a>
  </div>
</div>

Documentation

Features

  • Standardizes all thumbnails without altering posts
  • Supports displaying images from Flickr: <img flickr=”1234567890″
    title=”The magnificent Ceiba at the Archaeological Site of Palenque.”>
  • Generates image captions using the image title or alt
  • Integrates WordPress media library thumbnails
  • Gives popups for WordPress gallery images (adjust priority setting to 12)
  • Shows all content images on the blog as small thumbnails
    (does not create new thumbnails but can use Media Library for thumbs)
  • Allows for fine-grained control of each image’s format
  • Zooms image to large size when clicked using the
    prettyPhoto
    library
  • Outputs standard XHTML compliant markup

Gallery Support

To get WordPress Gallery images to popup, this plugin must run at a priority
greater (later) than the [gallery] shortcode which runs at priority 11. Therefore
set the priority setting to 12 in the Administration Options.

Overrides

The actions of the plugin are enabled and disabled with administration settings
but can be overridden on each individual image.

  • usemysize – true/false – true = do not ignore an image width and height
  • usemya – true/false – true = do not ignore a parent anchor tag
  • nocap – true/false – true = do not create a caption
  • nofx – true/false – true = no popup effect
  • link – string url – make the caption a link to the url
  • hint – string txt – this will be the new image title
  • asis – true/false – true = don’t change nuthin
  • group – string txt – separate popup slideshows
  • thumb – string url – image thumbnail (version 0.9.7)
  • page – single/!single/front/!front – page filtering (version 0.9.7)

If you want to surround an image with an anchor tag <a>, then you should add
a usemya attribute within the image tag or else your anchor will be ignored
and replaced. If you do not want the popup effect at all, add a nofx attribute
to the image. If you do not want any caption, you can specify nocap, or just
leave the title blank. And to have the plugin completely ignore an image and
output the content directly from the post, use the asis attribute.

Example

<a href="http://www.example.com/">
<img
  src="/images/picture.jpg"
  title="Click to visit website"
  nocap="true"
  usemya="true"
/></a>

Note: concerning the true/false overrides, do not include “false” parameters
like <img usemya="false">, i.e these overrides should only include the attributes
for which you want to designate a “true” value.

Installation:

    directory (wp-content/plugins)
  4. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress admin

ہرہک دے سوال

1.) WordPress “smiley” emoticons like :) keep showing up with the other
images. How can I prevent smileys from being effected?

Starting with version 0.9.6 this plugin includes a class exclusion list which
prevents an image from being processed by the plugin if it contains a CSS class
that is in the list. WordPress uses “wp-smiley” for their smileys so enter
wp-smiley into the exclusion classes in the WordPress administration settings
for Image-formatr then click “Update Options”.

2.) These image attributes (e.g. page, nocap, link, etc) are not XHTML
standard attributes. Why do you use them?

The Image Formatr override attributes do not get written to the browser.
They are only used by the plugin for format configuration of individual
images. Unless you specify the asis attribute, all images in your content
are deconstructed then rebuilt sending only XHTML compliant markup to the
client.

مارچ 30, 2022
Thanks a lot for sharing this, I lost 2+ hours ten days ago looking for a plugin that does exactly what this plugin does and I couldn’t find any. I found it today by chance, when searching for a plugin to manage the captions of my website’s images. Hint to the Developer: maybe you should refine the plugin’s description so others in the situation I was ten days ago will be able to find it. The keyword I used last week, that was of no use, was “force dimensions for all images”, and “force image dimensions on the fly”. I was desperate, after two years having problems with my website’s images. Where the mess of different sizes was more evident was when I created views with the Content Views plugin and both the sliders and the grids were malformed due to the different sizes of the thumbnails. My advice for others looking for a way to make the sizes of their site’s images in a Wordpress site consistent/uniform in size is this: 1) Don’t use Wordress media sizes in Settings > Media Settings because A) It wastes too much space on the server and B) It degrades the images when it converts it to different sizes. Just enter 0 in every size field, and deactivate the “Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions (normally thumbnails are proportional)” option. Only leave the “Organize my uploads into month and year-based folders” option enabled, if you think it makes sense to you (it makes sense to me, so I keep this enabled). 2) Don’t ever use a media cleaning plugin, or a regenerate thumbnails plugin. This will not solve your problems of having images with different sizes in the front end, and it has a high potential of deleting a lot of images that I shouldn’t delete, and you will lose a lot of time restoring the images it deleted to the post and pages it effaced. I lost the whole Saturday night ten days ago to fix the mess that both the “Force Regenerate Thumbnails” and “Media Cleaner” plugins did to my website. I was lucky, though, since they deleted only ~30-40 images in a website with ~600 images and photos. 3) Install this plugin, because it does exactly what you are looking for. PS: to the developer, I think one feature that would make this plugin a killer app 100% (as of now is 95% of a killer app for me) is if you add an option to use the image description meta (the description that appears in the attachment page) as caption. Like I said, my website has around 600 images and both the alt and the title metas I configured are not really fit to work as thumbnails, but the description is. I will look for a plugin that copies the description to the alt field to add captions with your plugin, if I can’t find it I guess I will use the nocaption option until either you add the option or I get around I spending 3-4 hours coping the description text to the alt text. Anyway, thanks a lot again, and sorry if this was a long review.
