I’ve been trying to make use of WordPress’s built in responsive images that were added to the core last year within some custom child themes using X. Unfortunately one of the crucial functions wp_get_attachment_image_srcset() appears to be broken when used in X theme. It always returns false when running X theme or a child theme. It seems to break at line 1173 of /wp-includes/media.php in WP 4.6.1. The call to apply_filters() constantly returns empty.

Hi there,

Thanks for posting in.

It’s intentionally disabled to allow X theme use its own image sizes. But you can enable it by adding this code to your child theme’s functions.php

function x_disable_wp_image_srcset( ) {}

Hope this helps.

What affect will this have on images output by X theme?

Hi there,

It will change the image sizes that X theme usually displays. Some may appear blurry if the picked size is not appropriate screen size. But it shouldn’t affect the overall functionality.

Thanks!
