changing portfolio thumbnails to square

[Sand]

hi we would like to have the thumbnails of the portfolio items be in a square layout (same as we have shop images). however, even though i upload a featured images square, the will still be cropped to rectangles. please advise if this is possible.

see the portfolio grid on homepage for example

Hi

Open up sf-portfolio.php and edit:

/* META VARIABLES
				================================================== */
				$thumb_image = $thumb_gallery = $video = $item_class = $link_config = '';
				$thumb_width = 800;
				$thumb_height = 600;
				$video_height = 600;

On line 74

thanks kyle – i activated the child theme, edited those lines so that all three say 800 and added the revised sf-portfolio.php to the child’s folder by ftp, then regenerated all the thumbnails. however, the portfolio thumbnail still appear rectangular instead of square. what else should i do? cheers!

Hi

I’m afraid you can’t update it through the Child Theme, you will need to update the file in the parent theme.

oooh, ok. so i would lose it every time the theme was updated by the makers?

Yes unfortunately, you will just have to note down the change so you can make it each time you update the theme

ok – i’ll think about whether it’s worth doing that:)

Ok no problem
