 * Hi all,
 * Looking for a way to resize product category images, I realize I am able to resize
   product images from appearance, woocommerce, product images, however this is 
   not doing the job for me as you can see if you look at my website, I tried this
   plugin (Simple Image Sizes) which was supposed to do the job, however it seems
   to only work on product images, I am using storefront theme with boutique child
   theme, any help would be massively appreciated.

 * Hello,
 * You can change category thumbnail size under **Appearance > Customize > WooCommerce
   > Product Images > Thumbnail cropping**. This should change the size of category
   image thumbnails too.
    If this is not what you are referring to, can you share
   a screenshot of the section you are trying to change? I recommend https://snipboard.
   io for easily sharing screenshots – please follow the instructions on the page,
   then paste the URL in this chat. It works with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

 * Hello,
 * Ok, in that case, the issue may be caused be a plugin. Could you disable all 
   plugins except for WooCommerce to see if images show properly? If that resolves
   the issue, then re-enable plugins one-by-one until you find the one that’s causing
   the conflict.

 * Even with all plugins deactivated I have the same issue.

 * Is there any chance that the images I’m using are too small?
    if so is there 
   any way that they can be automatically stretched to fill the space? is there 
   a way to center the problematic images and have white space around it to fill
   the image out to the border?
 * Thanks for your time.

 * It seems that any rectangular images fail to resize correctly, the square images
   seem to be working fine.

 * I see that you’ve set the custom aspect ratio to 300:300 which is the same as
   1:1. What happens if you choose 1:1?

 * We’ve not heard back from you in a while, so I’m marking this thread as resolved.
