Seems to do the job, misses some points, and the wording over hotspots is inverted in the second line. Should say a hotspot is somewhere you want it TO look, vs to avoid. Other than that, seems to do the job even on WordPress version 6.5.4

I’ve been a fan of this plugin for a long time, ever since it came out. I can’t even imagine how it works, but it’s so so good.

Habe es zwar nicht ausgiebig getestet, aber es l?uft immer noch wie zuvor unter WordPress 5.4 (Stand 25.4.2020). Ich verwende immer den Hotspot, um einen individuellen Fokus zu setzen.
Sehr nützliches PlugIn.

I didn’t test it very much but there is no difference to further function. I always use the hotspot function to set a custom focus.
Very useful plugin.

Does just what it claims. Superb plugin!

I’ve installed this on a number of client sites with great results. There are now almost no complaints about mis-cropped faces.

This is one of the most useful plugins I’ve ever found, it’s now boilerplate on new site installs. It’s dead simple to use, non-intrusive, and it decouples my choice of aspect ratio from the content being served.
My only con is I would not have discovered this plugin if not for the author’s database find/replace tool.

I’ve been using this plugin for a couple years now and never got around to giving it a review.
It’s easily one of the more useful plugins for those sites using a variety of thumbnail/image sizes. If you’re always finding your feature image or gallery thumbnails are cropping off heads or not focusing on the right part of the image, this works great.

If I didn’t find this plugin by accident, I sure wouldn’t have used it. Should have included “Smart Crop”, “Focal Point”, “Face Detection” or something! ??
Another thing, would be really need if there’s an auto/mass face detection/crop. Kinda tiring have to click all the images from the past one by one.

Wow, this is something that should be a standard tool within the WordPress CMS. I used on a site of a customer who is using a lot of images with people on it and a lot of times the heads where not on the thumbnails.
Now it’s over with cutting and cropping the hard way, this tool is very easy to use and the possibility of adding hotspots manually makes it perfect. I have done dozen’s of post corrections within no time.
One useful tip, when adding a hotspot: aim for the chin.
This is one of the most useful plugins I have seen within WordPress.

Hey, I just wanted to say that this is a must have plugin if you are dealing with displaying images in various aspect ratios.. It helps getting the important parts of an image in all the thumbnails ??

A Google Search for “wordpress featured image portrait” brought me to this site and from there I found a link to this plugin. Works as advertised!
The only issue I had was that it did not detect the face in my photo. But via the Hotspots option in the Media Library I was able to precisely define the center of the photo. No algorithm would have done exactly what I was seeking anyway. I imagine I will fine-tune the crop via a manual hotspot in most instances for optimal results. Bravo!

Works like a charm.
Face detection doesn’t work every time, but I wouldn’t expect it but readily would add the hot spots manually without complaining ??

It drastically improved the look of the cropped images.

Why this plugin is not part of the core I do not know. If you are thinking of trying it then go for it, you will not be disappointed!

This plugin is absolutely amazing. I don’t know why someone didn’t think of this sooner. Nice job folks!

The facial recognition feature almost never works, but setting my own hotspots works perfectly. I install it everywhere now.

This is one of those plugins that makes you ask questions like “How did I ever live without this?”.
But then I guess that I shouldn’t be too surprised — this is made by the same guys who wrote the core bits of magic that we now know and love as WP Migrate DB, so I guess their Wizard Credentials are all in order…
I used this plugin once before posting this review; that’s how much I realised it was going to change my life.
I can’t wait to tell the guys at work what I’ve found…

I cried a little. This plugin is amazing and worked fine on WP 4.2.1. I just needed a quick and easy way to crop thumbnails without preparing them all in Photoshop. Such a simple thing, but it saved me SO much time and best of all, no more headless or crotch shots.

The automatic face detection has never once recognised a face in a painting or sculpture, but honestly that doesn’t matter. WordPress’ image editor has always been a nightmare and this plugin does exactly what I need, letting me select a focus point for the thumbnail. I would even suggest removing the auto detection altogether as the manual process is so quick anyway.

It makes your thumbnails so much better. Thanks a lot!

Set up a new site with unusual featured image crops, which has created some funky images. This plugin made it so easy to correct this issue, not only for small thumbnails, but also for the intermediate (wide) image sizes. Thank you!!

At first I though the plugin “just” auto detected faces. That would useful but what i’ve found in the meantime makes it so much more useful.
You can set focal point on your image, so that WP will try to keep them visible when cropping your images.
Brilliant!!

I have been using this on my site and it is really doing what it promised with a very easy to use interface and options.
Another thing, its one of the few Intelligent plugins in the WP Directory.

This plugin is great for been able to choose the crop position on each image.
Awesome work.

I’ve installed this on a site that uses profile images for people and it makes it super easy to ensure faces are well-positioned in thumbnail images.
It’s also really handy on sites that use very widescreen header images to ensure the focal point of the image stays within view rather than being cropped off the top or bottom.
Excellent plugin!
