| January 31, 2014 at 12:11 pm I just purchased the grid template view add-on.
I’m saddened to see the thumbnails are all completely squished!
It looks like shit. Is there a way to program the grid view to use a certain size of thumbnail?
With WP I can specify to create a square image on upload, say 150×150,
but how to make grid template use it? I’m pretty sure this view is not ready for prime time as it stands.
Images are horribly distorted. |

This automatically creates a 150*150 square image (cropped). If the cropping is not suitable you can manually crop the image via the Media Library – http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/crop-image-wordpress/ |

Is there a way, that doesn’t rely on the ‘user’ to select the correct thumbnail size? I have WordPress generating a 150 x 150 image on upload.
the_post_thumbnail(‘150’); How do we tell EE grid view to use it? |
