Featured Images and Slider

This theme is great; however I’m having a significant amount of difficulty getting the featured image and slider to fit my photo. I have resized the photos to no avail (even based on the specificities you have indicated in other posts). I must preface by saying that I’m very new to wordpress, so I’m just learning the nuances. But the images that appear are either cropped or extremely large.

My site is not yet live, but I have attached a screenshot so you can see what I’m talking about.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @travelandlore,

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

The slider displays images in the size 1920px X 550px so if you have images greater than this size then it gets cropped.

If you want to remove this slider image size restriction and want to display the image as it is then you can do so by using the attached small plugin specially developed for you that contains some custom code.

Thank you, this has remedied my featured images for the slider; however some are now distorted in the posts (see screenshot). All of the images are below 1920, so I’m not quite understanding why this is happening.

I should mention that all of the images that are being cut off are square, so that must have something to do with what is happening…

Hi,

I love the Activello theme.

I have the same issue.

The slider image displays fine and is at requested image size 1920 x 550.

When the image though is displayed as a thumbnail for the post it crops itself and the image does not display properly.

How can I stop this happening?

If you are talking about post featured images then they should be of size 1170px X 550px which is rectangular and not square.

I’m now speaking about how the featured photos show up in the posts. They look fine in the featured image slider, but as a featured image in the post they are cropped.

@travelandlore The above mentioned solution in my previous reply will help you.

That approach does not work, it will distort the square photo if I try to switch the dimensions. Does activello not allow to have square images for feature images?

I’m very new to Wordpress, so I’m unfamiliar with coding nuances. It would be helpful to have a step by step solution.

Thank you!

To display the post featured image as it is without cropping it, please delete the previously shared custom plugin on your site and try using the attached updated plugin.

Hi,
I have downloaded the above plugin, and currently both my slider image and my featured post images are uncropped, in their original size.
However, I realize I would like to keep the original size (i.e. uncropped) versions of my featured post images ONLY, and have the slider image cropped to 1920 x 600.
Is there a way to code this differently in the plugin you provided above?
Or can you provide a new plugin?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks.
