Smooshed photos on front page

  • Hey There! Thank you for the help with my last question. I’m experiencing featured images becoming distorted when they appear on the front page since they are not perfect squares. Cropping the images helps this, but it is annoying since once you click into the post the picture is then stretched across the entirety of the page and loses resolution if in square form.

    Is there anyway to stop non square featured images from being distorted on the front page?

    The recommended minimum size for featured images is 2000px by 1500px. That’ll ensure that your images don’t get stretched out on single posts, while still filling the squares on the blog grid.

    That said, if you don’t have originals that large, the closer your images are to a 4:3 ratio (instead of a widescreen ratio like 16:9) the less likely you’ll get black bars on the grid.
