add more picture-thumbs sizes

Hi,

I’ve got the request from the magazine authors, and the page owner – to make available more picture thumb sizes.

That is because when someone shares the posts, it shows the wrongly cropped/cutted/chopped off picture or not the proper one.

Share on fb — “head cut off” –

Same on Google Plus —

Pinterest would acceptable, however can be better if used the proper sizes, which is 800×1600

So, I would ask: how to make it available create more sizes for all media – of course after need the thumbs-regeneration.

600×600
600×315
960×960
800×1600

and – tell to wordpress to give the right picture to the sharing-engine no matter which installed and used ( tagdiv, shareaholic, addthis, socioboards, oneall, custom made, etc, etc )

I tried to saerch after read this post: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/adding-custom-images-sizes-wordpress/

But, no luck.

Thanks, Zoltan

Hi Simion.

I dont want use joost de walk’s plugin anymore – its unsupported, rubbish, causing lost of buggy crosslinks in the wp-database – and very hard to clean off from the database once you activated..

I use the much better plugin WPSSO.

But, my question still about : – how may I can set more sizes if using tagdiv newspaper theme?

If I put my requested sizes in the wp-settings – media sizes screen – it not makes any change, since tagdiv takes over the control of media sizes.
Also, same applies when I put directly the code into the function.php.

Which files I have to edit to add the xtra sizes?

add_image_size( ‘new-custom-size’, width, height, crop mode );

Thank you,

Zoltan
