Standard Slider Problem Again – Cropping my Images

[Rob222]

Hi there,

Please see this link.

I add an image to my gallery and chose to select the standard slider to showcase more than one image. The result was it has cut (cropped) some of my images. Can you fix this please and tell me why this problem happens. This is the second time it has happened. I would like to know I can use the standard slider without having problems of cropping every single time.

Hi Rob,

You need to edit functions.php line 88:

add_image_size( 'full-width-image', 1000, 563, true);

Simply set the image size to be a max value you’d want the slider height to be, and it will then follow that. You’ll need to re-upload the images, or use the Thumbnail Regeneration plugin to re-create the image sizes after the change.

Hi,

Which value is the slider height…1000 or 563?

Hi,

It’s the 563.

After updating my template to the latest one and updating wordpress to version 4, I have found this problem again! One of my slider images was getting cropped so I found this topic again and altered the code which I was told to do about a month ago.

Now I need to regenerate all my images again! Will I need to alter the code and regenerate all my images EVERYTIME I update my wordpress template etc??

Hi @Rob222

Yes – when you update the original file will be overwritten. You can try adding that line to the child theme – it may override the one set in the parent theme.

What exactly do I add to the child theme and where?

[Rui Guerreiro – SUPPORT]

Is the line below

add_image_size( 'full-width-image', 1000, 563, true);

Add it to the file functions.php inside the child theme directory.

[Rob222]

I don’t see that file within the child theme directory. I only see a style.css?

[Mohammad – SUPPORT]

Hi,
You can create a functions.php in child theme directory and insert the code.

<?php
add_image_size( 'full-width-image', 1000, 563, true);
?>

Thanks 🙂

Hi there,

Sorry to be a pain, but could you please create the file for me and insert the code because I have no clue how to go about doing what you ask. It would be much quicker for yourself to just do it. I’d very much appreciate that.

Nut instead of the 563 value, could you please make it 1800. Thank you.

[Rui Guerreiro – SUPPORT]

Hi,

Already created the functions.php in the desired code.

If you mean you have already done this for me then thank you.
