Featured image thumbnails are fixed size and cannot be changed

    Hi everyone, I have a problem where despite having thumbnails of multiple different sizes generated when uploading featured images (to be displayed as a thumbnail on my blog’s home page as shown), my blog’s home page for some reason only decides to display a highly-cropped 570×285 version of the photo. This isn’t idea as most of my photos are actually in either a 5×4 or 4×5 aspect ratio.

    I would prefer them to be displayed as either one or the other of those aspect ratios for all featured images (with the short edge – the width staying constant). I have a child theme where I have defined additional image sizes (long edge of 1080px); however, this has not seem to have had any effect.

    Any assistance is appreciated. Please see this screenshot to see an example of what I’m talking about.

    I am on the latest version of WordPress & Minamaze Pro. This is not a plugin-caused issue.

    Thanks
    Michael

    Hi Michael,

    You can try adding the following code to your Admin Panel > Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS field:

    .blog-thumb img {
  height: 200px;
  width: 300px;
}

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the help! So it does actually appear to work in the sense that the container for the image gets changed (I tested a height of 400px); however, because the original featured image is still locked at 570×285, it becomes super stretched. See this screenshot.

    My problem is that when I add a featured image, it always gets displayed as a 570×285 image, even though the original image is always larger. What I want is for the original full-res photos to be shown in proportion to the longest edge. I can’t seem to find the code that forces display of 570×285 images against my wishes ??

    Any help would be appreciated.
