Featured image sizing in various locations

[Carol]

Dear support team:
Question regarding featured images:

I would like to upload images needed in various sizes to aid in resolution loss and speed…but am at a loss after trying multiple configurations.

I want a featured image to appear:

1-“full size” in the header area of a post – would upload a larger image to satisfy retina requirements
2-thumbnail size which would appear above text or left justified with text in a post rev slider (now the thumbnail is behind the text, rendering it unreadable.)
3-thumbnail or similar size in recent posts widget which appears at bottom of post pages – not enlarged as displaying currently – low res poor image quality + just don’t want them that big!

The workaround I have found for the rev slider is not to use an image at all and to upload a transparent slide image in order for text to be viewed…but then I have blank rectangles displaying in recent posts widgets!

I hope I am communicating this properly…Please advise as to the best manner to accomplish above objectives.
thank you!

Hi

Our image sizes are set in the functions.php file:

/* THUMBNAIL SIZES
			================================================== */
			set_post_thumbnail_size( 220, 150, true);
			add_image_size( 'widget-image', 94, 70, true);
			add_image_size( 'thumb-square', 250, 250, true);
			add_image_size( 'thumb-image', 600, 450, true);
			add_image_size( 'thumb-image-twocol', 900, 675, true);
			add_image_size( 'thumb-image-onecol', 1800, 1200, true);
			add_image_size( 'blog-image', 1280, 9999);
			add_image_size( 'gallery-image', 1000, 9999);
			add_image_size( 'large-square', 1200, 1200, true);
			add_image_size( 'full-width-image-gallery', 1280, 720, true);

You can change these values

Hi Kyle

I’m also interested in improving the quality of the images:

– in the team overview: http://asanti.leggero5.myhostpoint.ch/wordpress/team/
– and team single image: http://asanti.leggero5.myhostpoint.ch/wordpress/team/ivan-defaveri/

Correct variables?

add_image_size( ‘thumb-image’, 600, 450, true);
add_image_size( ‘thumb-image-twocol’, 900, 675, true);

Thanks and best regards

The detail image should be much bigger – I’ve fixed this for the next update.

Those images don’t use the variables, they are set within the assets.
