There are so many good questions about featured images and thumbnails, but I never see any good answers that work for me. I’d love to see some well written details on how to do this. I think the Hueman theme is great but I’m trying to get the Featured Images to be the right size for my site and they need to be portrait, about 400w x 500h. Whenever I try any of these instructions for modifying the Thumbnail sizes code, it never works — it just stretches out the images way too big.
All I really want is to have the Featured Image show up in the sidebar (smallish thumbnail, just like with AxlPosts widget), and maybe not at all in post, since I can easily insert image into post. But when I use Featured Image after I’ve inserted my image into the post, of course, then I have 2 images, and I only want 1. But I don’t know of any other way to get the thumbnail in the sidebar, other than the AxlPosts widget, which is easy to use. Thanks!
