   here is the solution:
   replace this:
   $aImgName = explode(’.',$strSrcImgName);
   with this:
   $aImgName = substr($strSrcImgName,0,strrpos($strSrcImgName, "."));

   woking with 100+ dots …. have fun!

   I created this workaround to solve the problem. Basically I use the WP function “image_resize_dimensions” which calculates the dimensions of a resized image, according to Settings->Media numbers.

   My workaround is supposed to be used with images that contain no dots (except the one for the extension: i.e. my.picture.jpg doesn’t work, while my-picture.jpg works)

   Finally…here is the code:

   //Gets the custom field of the post
   $strSrcImgName = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘img_main’,1);

   //Gets dims of the original image
   list($orig_w, $orig_h) = getimagesize( $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].get_option(’upload_path’).’/’.$strSrcImgName );

   //Calculates dims of the “medium size” resized image
   list($dst_x, $dst_y, $src_x, $src_y, $dst_w, $dst_h, $src_w, $src_h) = image_resize_dimensions($orig_w, $orig_h, get_option(’medium_size_w’), get_option(’medium_size_h’), false);

   //..here it is why it doesn’t work with images with more than one dot
   $aImgName = explode(’.',$strSrcImgName);
   $strMediumImgName = $aImgName[0].’-’.$dst_w.’x’.$dst_h.’.’.$aImgName[1];

   Thank you for this suggest.

   I changed the script as you wrote, but now WP generates just 2 images (insted of 4): myimage.jpg (original size) and myimage.thumbnail.jpg (dimensions as specified in Settings > Media > “Big size image” …or something similar, sorry, I’m working with an italian versione ).

   So I lost two image: “Middle size” and “Thumbnail” (the one I can choose to crop).
   Is there a solution to this?
   I’m using WP 2.7

   Thanks in advance.

   Thank you for this phantastic hint! It took me 3 hours to find our why the thumbs have other names now! Sometimes I have the impression, that WP just wants to make uns mad!
