Set Featured Image

Hi,
When I set the featured image for some posts, the thumbnail appears perfectly, but sometimes it is too big or small to really display the image well. Is there a way to make sure every featured image displays the way I want it to.
Cheers.

Hi,

When you upload and image WordPress automatically crops that image on multiple sizes and based on the add_image_size() function, the thumbs needed by the theme to the different modules you are using are made https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-and-blocks/
You can read more about this here:
1. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size
2. http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
This ius the same way the featured image it’s cropped, you can change this as you like.
Also make sure that you use images around 1200px and 500px height, this will make cropping more accurate as the max image size used by the theme is at 1074px width and 483px height.

Thanks

I don’t fully understand. What steps do I need to take in order to change the position of the featured image?

The featured image cannot be “enlarged to fit” without using a plugin, like ‘thumbnail upscale.”

Hi,


@BHSSagamore
Please provide more details about your issue. Have you passed over the info I have offered, is that what you were asking?
If you add a smaller image, for a specific post, than the container you will need to use a plugin like Christopher suggested to enlarge it or you can also do it via css. If you upload a large image which isn’t cropped like you want see the info I have posted here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/set-featured-image/#post-25494
