Post Thumbnail Support/Size

[mrl72]

When using “set featured image” for my posts it is not using the sizes set in Media>Settings. Is this by design? The result is that all of the images on my home page for my posts are all different sizes.

Thanks.

You’ll need to upload a thumbnail image otherwise it’ll resize from the main. http://awesomescreenshot.com/0771g8gub5

Hi Ben, I thought that when using the “set featured image” feature in a post it would take whatever image I choose and resize it to the sizes as specified in Media>Settings. Within the settings there is an option to “crop” the image so that the thumbnail is the same size on the post. Instead it is resizing but keeping the same aspect ratio of the image, therefore causing all the entries on a single page to look inconsistent.

In functions.php it should be using this:

set_post_thumbnail_size( 50, 50, true );

Which would resize the thumbnail to 50×50 but without stretching the image. To me it looks like it is ignoring this for some reason.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

Those sizes in Media settings are for when you insert images in a post or when you embed other media, like videos.

The featured image size is a different thing and yes, it’s customized by design to fit the theme layout.
