Explanation of images sizes

By default Web 2.0 Directory plugin uses images generated by WordPress in their sizes according to WordPress Media settings. When you upload any image to the site - it makes different copies of an image according to these settings and store all them in "wp-content/uploads/" folder on the host.

The plugin uses wp_get_attachment_image_src($attachment_id, $size) function to get the most relevant image for a listing logo and images in images gallery on single listing page.
The second parameter $size has some values:

  • 'full' - means to get the biggest uploaded image, is used for images gallery on single listing page
  • 'listing-thumbnail' - special size defined by directory for listings logos on excerpt pages (800x600 pixels), it is generated automatically while uploading on the host
  • map marker InfoWindow uses image size according to the "Map InfoWindow logo width" setting
