I love the theme and I am using if for a fashion website. My featured images (Thumbnails) on the front page section “Fashion Wear” and Random Posts keep on cutting off. Can you please help me out with this? Here is the link to the site http://www.fashionwalkafrica.com

Hi,

When you add an image WordPress automatically creates a thumb for each module the theme uses so, besides WordPress’s, we have added new image sizes in functions file.
So that the cropping function doesn’t affect much of your added images you need to upload an image appropriate in aspect ration to the thumb you plan to use it for.
In your case this happens because of the portrait type of the images you have added, to fix this you need to add an image with the same aspect ratio as thumbnails so it can be cropped without loosing any part of the image.
You can read more about this here:

Hope this helps!

Thanks

Hi,

You can try adding images with same aspect ration, you can read more about this here: http://digital-photography-school.com/aspect-ratio-what-it-is-and-why-it-matters/
You can also set a cropping mode for images: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size#Crop_Mode
