Featured images – media settings

Hello Alexander, again congrats for this amazing template.

I’m haing some troubles with the featured images size.

I’ve read the these are the thumbnail sizes:
```
// Thumbnail sizes
add_image_size( 'thumb-small', 160, 160, true );
add_image_size( 'thumb-medium', 520, 245, true );
add_image_size( 'thumb-large', 720, 340, true );
```
So, I’ve to change the “wordpress media setting page” and put these values?
Also, why if I upload a 720px*280px featured image, it enlarges it and crops it? I’d like to have featured images with a fixed width (720px) and a non-fixed height. So, if I upload a 720px*280px image it will be showed as a 720px*280px image, if I upload a 720px*340px image it shows a 720px*340px images, if I upload a 740px*400px image it adapts and crops it. Is it possible?

Thanks!

Hi, thanks!

I see what you mean with the thumbnail upscale. This is actually a function you can remove completely. Remove the whole:
```
/*  Upscale cropped thumbnails
/* ------------------------------------ */
```
Section, if you edit the parent theme.

If you use a child theme, just empty the function out by adding this to the child theme’s functions.php:
```
function alx_thumbnail_upscale( ){ }
```
So, I’ve to change the “wordpress media setting page” and put these values?

You would not edit that page for the theme, as these 3 sizes are additional on top of the WordPress standard ones. Leave them as they are. The place to edit would be in functions.php, and once changed, regenerate thumbnails to re-crop them.

Hey, I’ve tested it. It worked, partially. So, what happens now? If I’ve an image smaller than 720px, it doesn’t create a 720px thumbnail, but it uses the original image url as featured image. The problems is that it stretches the image to 720px, so, if I want to use a 100px*100px image as featured image, it uses the original image, but 700*700px.

Is there any way to use a 100*100px image as featured image?
I mean, from my point of view it may happen in various circumstances that we don’t have a 720px image available

Try perhaps adding some extra CSS like this:
```
.post-thumbnail img { max-width: 100%; }
```
It shouldn’t upscale the image crop itself, unless:
```
function alx_thumbnail_upscale( ){ }
```
is still running.
