The image uses the standard “thumbnail” crop size that is set in Settings > Media. On most installs this will be 150×150. The plugin is then using CSS to reduce this to 100×100 to better fit, especially on sidebars.
So you have a couple of options…
1) Change the size for Thumbnails in Settings > Media, however this will effect all images using this crop size on your site, then adjust CSS to match.
2) Use an available filter to adjust only the one used in the plugin, then use your own class names or adjust the plugin css to match.
Going with #2 would look something like the following, you would add it to your theme’s functions.php file
// Custom BNE Testimonials Featured Image
function custom_testimonial_featured_image( $shortcode_output, $options ) {
// Post ID
$id = get_the_id();
// Crop Size (thumbnail, medium, full, etc)
$size = 'medium';
// Image Attributes (class, title, etc)
// http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_post_thumbnail
// You can add any custom CSS here if you prefer to use your own.
$attr = array(
'class' => 'bne-testimonial-featured-image circle'
);
// Get Thumbnail Image and apply above attributes
$shortcode_output = get_the_post_thumbnail( $id, $size, $attr );
// Return the image
return $shortcode_output;
}
add_filter('bne_testimonials_featured_image','custom_testimonial_featured_image', 10 , 2);
The above will now use the crop size “medium” which by default is 300×300 in Settings > Media unless it has been changed. You can use any crop size available to you from your theme. However, the down side to using this filter is that you then loose the image style options that are used in the shortcode/widget (circle, square, flat-circle, and flat-square) So you would need to set them above like I did in the example using “circle”. This filter would be a global filter and affect ALL testimonials unless you add conditional logic to it.
In either case you will need to override the CSS that forces it down to 100×100. If you’re going with #2, you could actually use your own CSS class names since it’s added within the filter which would allow you to skip the next step. But if you’re going with what I have then you would need to add the following to a CSS area in your theme options or theme style.css file
.bne-testimonial-featured-image { width: 200px !important; height: 200px !important; }
Adjust the size to your preference that would match your desired crop size/look.
