Homepage thumbnails on the fly - in any Wordpress theme!
This is a demo site to demonstrate how easy it is to add thumbnails on the fly to a WP homepage or sidebar WITHOUT using Custom Fields. (Originally developed and customised for the Revolution Themes by Brian Gardener)
If you are looking for a solution to help you add to your blog and, without including a single custom field, generate all the thumbnail sizes your theme homepage needs on the fly, then you have come to the right place!
Viva La Revolution!
Write a post -> Upload an image (using the built in WP upload facility) -> Publish.
All the thumbnails your theme needs are generated on the fly - or a category linked default image is displayed if no image was uploaded with the post.
You can even include Viva on the individual Post page so that every post has a well fitted and displayed image accompanying the text. See it in action on this demo site - upload an image but DON'T insert it into the post body and see how Viva takes the strain.
Test it out for yourself!
See the LIVE DEMO page to try it now and see the results below, or check out the DOWNLOAD page to take the leg work out of thumbnails on your Wordpress site.
Viva Tools cut out the image work!

Viva thumbs now has even more intelligent cropping. The challenge when auto cropping an image is that a computer doesn’t have the eye of the photographer so doesn’t know what is important in the picture. Every image can have a different orientation too which makes making an automatic crop even more of a challenge. Viva Thumbs now includes a more accurate Intelli-Crop algorithm to help crop the key content of your image. This is based on the fact that usually a photgrapher frames the key content in the centre... [Read the full story]
