  Hello! I’m trying to clean up my related articles a bit on the post detail pages:

  1. Can I have a square image for the thumbnail rather than the 4:3 ratio? Or display a thumbnail at whatever aspect ratio is uploaded?
  2. How do I show an excerpt for the related articles?
  3. Are there other layouts I could use for the related articles section (like the “mini” blog layout)?

  Thanks!

  Hi,

  1)

  Please activate your child theme, within the functions.php file please copy and paste in this function: http://pastie.org/private/xs6tqxuyqhjldlnitknhcq#12

  You can adjust these variables to change the ratio, I added 360×360 as an example:

  $thumb_width = 360;
  $thumb_height = 360;

  2)

  I have included this within the above function for you

  3)

  If you copy this function into your child theme functions.php file you can amend the below to anyone of the following: http://pastie.org/private/qxuudzyer7ymexx7oska

  Within that function you will find this line: $related_articles_display_type = apply_filters( 'sf_related_articles_display_type', 'bold' ); You can change the word bold for list or bright, but bold seems like the best choice for that section.

  Thanks,
  David.
