Different sizes featured images depending on category

  • The homepage just shows the featured images of posts but I’d like to show them in different sizes depending on the category the post is in.

    I guess it’s a If Else script in functions.php to define the difference but I have no idea how and couldn’t find a plugin to do it.

    So far I have this but it’s not working.

    <?php if ( is_home() ) : /* Display Excerpts for Home */ ?>

	<?php has_post_thumbnail()? $birdsite_image_tag = 'has-image' : $birdsite_image_tag = ''; ?>

	<li id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class($birdsite_image_tag); ?>>
		<?php if(has_post_thumbnail()): ?>
			<div class="thumbnail">
				<?php if ( in_category('klein') ) {
				the_post_thumbnail('medium'); ?>
				<div class="more-link"><a>"><?php _e( 'more', 'birdsite' ); ?></a></div>
			</div>
<?php else { ?>
				<?php the_post_thumbnail('large'); ?>
				<div class="more-link"><a>"><?php _e( 'more', 'birdsite' ); ?></a></div>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<?php endif; ?>

    I get “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/WEBSITE/wp-content/themes/birdsite/content.php on line 18” as an error

    Now I have this 

    <?php
/*
The default template for displaying content. Used for both single and index/page/archive/search.
*/
?>

<?php if ( is_home() ) : /* Display Excerpts for Home */ ?>

	<?php has_post_thumbnail()? $birdsite_image_tag = 'has-image' : $birdsite_image_tag = ''; ?>

	<li id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class($birdsite_image_tag); ?>>
		<?php if(has_post_thumbnail()): ?>
			<div class="thumbnail">
<?php
if ( in_category('klein') ) {
 the_post_thumbnail('medium');
} else {
  the_post_thumbnail('large');
}
?>
				<div class="more-link"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php _e( 'more', 'birdsite' ); ?></a></div>
		<?php endif; ?>

    Now I added a post in the category ‘klein’ but the image on the homepage still has the same size. How do I define multiple thumbnail sizes?

    Hi Nilles01 — did you every resolve the multiple sized images issue you had?
