Front page header (featured) image suddenly resized

Hi there,

Can you let me know when you first noticed this change? Also, had you updated the Sela theme or installed any plugins prior to noticing the change?

I tested on my own site and looked at recent changes, but I can’t spot anything that would have caused your image to automatically resize itself. It’ll help out in my troubleshooting if you can let me know those extra details.

Additionally, did you recently crop or change the size of the featured image? I ask because the theme does adjust the height of that image based on its width. If you’d recently cropped the image, then this would explain the change.

It is possible to override the theme’s code using some CSS:

.hero-content > img {
    min-height: 468px;
}

You can increase/decrease the minimum height as you wish.

Let me know how you get on with that.

Thanks, Siobhan! (yours is one of the first Irish names I learned when I moved to Ireland ??

I had only noticed yesterday. Yeah, I had changed the featured image a couple of weeks ago but I hadn’t noticed an ugly resizing at the time. It was indeed a shorter image than the previous one and Sela was now resizing it at 1.5 (I was convinced that before it didn’t resize, but rather cut it).

I’ve now changed the image to the one I’d used in the past as a temporary solution – I might change it again with a different crop when I have more time.

Thanks!

I’m glad you were able to resolve this @okiwipassion. ?? Feel free to start another thread if extra questions come up.
