    Heya!

    I really love Hueman theme, it’s very amazing and configurable. Thanks for that! I’ve just gotten started with it, I come from TwentyTwelve.

    I just posted a new blog post. I wanted to use this image as the featured image. But I get low quality and badly cropped photo as the featured image, as you can see in the post here.

    For some reason, some of my older posts have big and pretty featured images, like this post for example.

    How can I get the featured image of the first post to look more like the featured image of the second post?

    Thanks a lot!

  • Hello, diffler,

    That’s what I’m trying to figure out as well.
    I can see that the featured image is being streched. 800 x 378 (Natural: 720 x 340 pixels) I will look into it this week.

    You can try to regenerate all thumbnails with one of the recommended theme plugins. I personally use Force Regenerate Thumbnails because it will delete duplicate images, instead of creating them.

    Found it!
    You need to change large thumbnail size in functions.php on line 85.

    From

    add_image_size( 'thumb-large', 720, 333, true );

    to

    add_image_size( 'thumb-large', 800, 378, true );

    You must regenerate all thumbnails to see any effect.
    You can also register your own custom thumbnail sizes, which I think is best to save bandwidth.

    Hope that helps.

    Hello! Thanks for the quick reply!

    Hmmm, if I want to edit that line in child theme, do I need to copy the whole function alx_setup part starting on line 65 or can I add only line 85? I think I tried that before starting this thread, but it didn’t work, even after I regenerated the thumbnails.

    Ahh. Okay, part of this was me failing bad. I had added the featured image to be included in the real post. That made me have the thumb large file in every post. Now I removed my custom single.php and added the original featured image to every post. Now it looks cool, yay!

    And yes, you have to add the whole alx_setup part starting from the line 65 to functions.php.

    Thanks FadingMusic!
