Cropping images smaller than format size

    Hi!
    I am having trouble with cropping small images. I have an image size called “thumbnail” which is set to 400px x 240px (hard crop). This works fine until I had an image which was only 280px x 420px. I can select a crop and save it. But for some reason it gives me a thumbnail sized: 280px x 240px.

    The wierd thing is when I crop it in the back-end, it shows the right format in the previewer. I would like it to “blow up” the image to fit my crop. I used to use the: Post Thumbnail Editor -plugin and I’m pretty sure it could do it.

    Thank you for your time. ??

    Hi @candielope,
    by default, WP does not generate crops for images that are smaller than the crop size itself.
    You can get a stretched version of these crops by manually cropping the small images with the manual crop function offered by the YoImages plugin.
    The problem is that, as the warning message will alert you as soon as you generate a stretched crop, this crop will result in a blurred image.
    The preferred way, as the same warning message will suggest to you, is to upload a bigger original image or to use the YoImages’ “replace crop” feature to use another bigger image just for a specific crop format.
    Hope it’s clear, otherwise don’t esitate to ask.
    Regards,
    Team Sirulli
