Importing to Wordpress from Blogger with original resolution images - wordpress

I reviewed the answer here but the plugin page for the solution says it is behind by 3 major WP versions.
Decided to move blog from Blogger to Wordpress because Blogger was downsampling my graphs/plots which made them unacceptably blurry.
Got everything into Wordpress, BUT it appears Blogger exported the blog with links to the downsampled images. The media library in Wordpress has two files for every image - one for the original resolution and one for the blurry image Blogger created:
The first file is the Blogger-created version and that is what the post links to. I have hundreds of graphs like this.
Can anyone suggest a way to solve this short of manually editing links? Is there a way to force Blogger to export the posts as I created them, with links to the original files I uploaded? That would be ideal.
Part 2: I probably have 110 (or 161) posts where the images are still being served up from Blogger! Via custom links - mouse-over the image in the example here. I was probably trying to solve a problem with the resolutions but do not recall now what exactly; but these posts are easier to fix since I can regenerate the html with the new links which are sequential - district_1.png, district_2.png, etc. Question for this part: is there a posts directory in WP where I can simply overwrite the files? In Blogger there wasn't (that I could find/access) and I had to copy-paste the code into the post editor window.

img src(unknown) - lost images from probable Wordpress migration

I'm developing a site using the Alice Wordpress theme run on wordpress.com. I believe the person working on it previously might have migrated it from a previous setup, but I can't be sure.
The issue is the Alice theme is based on using several custom Post types, including things like "Team" and "Portfolio" and "Clients." There are some very nice looking displays for these things as modeled on the Alice example page. Whenever I add a Featured Image to show up in the background of a box for a "Team Member" or "Portfolio Item," the image is broken, and upon inspection is being referred as img src(unknown). If no Featured Image is set, the box is displayed well, but obviously blank.
I've been digging through the Alice theme .php files, but I cannot find one that specifies this type of modal on a page. I've found the one that creates the pages for each team member dynamically, but can't find where these image sources are getting lost.
All plugins are up to date, all necessary plugins installed for theme. Everything else is working perfectly, just not these featured images.
Any ideas of where to look or how to test?
I had the same issue. If you have installed JetPack plugin you can deactivate the plugin and try to open.

Creating wallpaper website site in wordpress

I'm trying to create a wallpapers site, using WordPress platform. The website should have similar functions like this wallpapers site. Which plugin is required to re-size images in multiple sizes, like 1920x1200, or 1920x1080. If there's no such plugin, how can I create this function in WordPress?
You have two options for this:
Manual: Uploaded images can be edited and cropped to the required size by teh administrator. Go to the media library, find the image, click edit and make the changes necessary
Automatic: I found this page by typing "how to edit image size in wordpress" when I was, in fact, looking for a manual that would explain with screenshots the instructions in step 1 above: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-additional-image-sizes-in-wordpress/
The post there makes use of the add_image_size function of Wordpress and tells Wordpress to automatically generate thumbnails in your required size.
Creating a Wallpaper website in WordPress is now as easy as counting 1-2-3. All you need a WordPress + decent hosting and a Wallpaper WordPress theme from https://binarynote.com
Just install Wallpaper WordPress theme along with their bulk image uploader plugin and you are ready to upload your wallpapers. The theme is able to generate different image sizes like you have mentioned automatically but will not store any such images on your server.
here is one such theme for your ready reference. https://binarynote.com/wordpress-theme-wallpaper.html
Hope this will help you a lot.

Images within a post display fine but clicking on images return 404 not found error

To start with, I am not an expert of any kind. Codes drive me insane. I run a site called: http://nascentarray.com.
I moved the site from one host to another and after the migration, I found that many images were broken. So, I changed the permalink structure:
From: nascentarray.com/post-name/
To: nascentarray.com/year/month/date/post-name/
Everything looked fine until I started getting 404 errors on images interested into the posts directly.
To me more specific, I use two methods to insert images:
I use the Jetpack module of WP to create a gallery in mosaic layout that gives a carousel of images when someone clicks on the gallery.
For some posts, using Jetpack gallery module makes no sense and so, I simple insert individual images between texts using the simple media uploader.
Problem: The problem is with the posts where I do not use the Jetpack gallery module. When I click on a post, the post opens fine and shows all images in it. However, the moment I start clicking on individual images, they start giving 404 error.
Example: http://nascentarray.com/2013/02/08/tallest-buildings-of-2013/
Clicking on any image in the post will return a 404 error.
How to solve this problem? Anyone, please help me. This is so disturbing and I don't have enough technical expertise to deal with this on my own and so I can came here with a hope to find some help from experts.
The posts where you don't use jetpack image gallery module doesn't embed a gallery. Instead, you embed images in your posts individually. When you embed, there's option with image link whether you want to link image with post, attachment page, custom link or source file.
Your images are not linked to source file - instead those are linked to POST ATTACHMENT link.
Once you changed the permalinks structure of your post, the links associated with your image files were not updated and those remained as per previous permalink structure those don't exist now and thus it gives 404 error.
It's solution can be to revert your permalinks structure to previous one (short and immediate solution) and other solution can be writing a short script and update all links of images in batch with their source file or anything else.
Another solution is to use Yoast SEO plugin to generate redirect URL's for old backlinks.
See the guide in this blog post regarding this solution.
I hope this helps and you understand the issue now.
Your permalink structure is incorrect. You need to change it back to nascentarray.com/year/month/date/post-name/
If it's already that way, then you need to double check your folders in uploads. Because if you look at your one page here http://nascentarray.com/2013/06/17/stock-wallet-the-only-wallet-you-will-ever-need/
That image is linked with ../year/month/date/post_name/image_name/
i.e. http://i0.wp.com/nascentarray.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/stock_wallet_2.jpg?resize=389%2C176
Obviously your plugin for viewing galleries adds the extra stuff in the URL's.
Where as the link you gave above has just ../post_name/image_name/ Which isn't working with your plugin or linking of the image file.

Wordpress, excerpts and Image Links

Quickinfo:
I am using wordpress 3.5.1 with the latest version of the "FancyBox
for WordPress" -Plugin.
I use the more-Tag for all articles, making
only excerpts of them beeing shown on the start-page.
Facts:
In wordpress image-thumbnails included in the article are enclosed
in a link pointing to the image-url by default.
The Fancybox-Plugin makes such Links open the image in a jQuery Fancybox.
My Problem:
Sometimes I show images in the excerpts, too.
At this time theres happening an usability-flaw:
When clicking on the Image a fancybox will open, but people expect to get redirected to the full article instead.
Is anyone aware of a solution how to overcome this issue, maybee by using an other plugin, changing the structure of my articles or editing some php-files?
I don't know about the plugin you are using but I've always used colorbox. There's a plugin for it designed for wordpress and it allows you to specify which images you want to open in a jquery window.

Re-process all Images in WordPress

I've got a blog that has the highest-resolution version of all its images embedded in the posts, rather than a thumbnail linking off to an image attachment page.
Can you tell me how I can re-process all embedded images so they're output as reduced size thumbnails that link off to their own attachment page (which is WordPress default settings)?
Am I right in thinking I can involve the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin in this?
That was just about what I would suggest, it works wonders, but it will take longer depending on the amount of photos.
Another thing you can do is run the images through an optimizer before posting to speed up load times.
I don't know about this plugin but there is a plugin called auto post thunbnail for wordpress. I have used it and it works great. You just press the generate button and wait till it generates thumbnails for all of your posts, if they have an image in them.
