Featured Image Inconsistent Crop

Activello

I’ve noticed that on some posts, the featured image is cropped when it appears on the blog home page, but, for some posts, the image is left full-size. How can I change the formatting so it’s consistently one way or another? I’d prefer no cropping, but I’d be happy just to have all the posts doing the same thing.

Example from the first two posts: Fox Valley Half Marathon is cropped while May Favorites is its original size. http://poppyanthology.com

Hi @poppyanthology,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

You can try regenerating the thumbnail images by using the following plugin.

To display the post featured image as it is without cropping it, please use the custom plugin shared in the bottom of the following topic.

Please try using the same plugin attached to this reply.

If it still doesn’t work for you then please create a file colorlib-divilab-plugin.php in your WordPress directory /wp-content/plugins/ and add the following code in it.

function modify_slider_image_size(){
    add_image_size( 'activello-featured', 9999, 9999, true );
}
add_action( 'init', 'modify_slider_image_size', 10 );

Tried again and I still got the same error message. I tried to find where to create that file and couldn’t. Did some research and still can’t figure it out. Sorry to cause more work for you! Is there a tutorial you can recommend? I’ve done coding before, but I’ve never created my own plugin file and I can’t see the option anywhere. Thank you!
