Title: Image Crop Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Image Crop * Resolved [ryanllogan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanllogan/) * (@ryanllogan) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-crop-3/) * Hello. I’ve created 2 announcements, both with a unique, 800 x 800 px image. On one of the announcements, the image scales fine. The other crops to 350 x 120 px. * I then created a 3rd announcement, with 459 × 612 px image. That image also crops to 350 x 120 px. * I then deleted the announcement that scaled fine and recreated it. It came back the exact same way, without the cropping. * **In short, the very first announcement displayed DOES NOT crop and any subsequent announcements DO crop.** * Thank you, Ryan * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/timeline-express/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/timeline-express/) Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Plugin Author [Evan Herman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eherman24/) * (@eherman24) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-crop-3/#post-7020926) * Hi Ryan, * Do you have a link to your timeline so I can take a look? * There are two possible issues here: * 1) The initial images that you uploaded to the site were uploaded prior to Timeline Express being installed. This would cause an issue because Timeline Express defines a custom image size to be used in the announcements. * Solution: The solution here would be to install an additional plugin which allows you to regenerate your thumbnails. My suggestion here would be [https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/). I’ve used it in the past with great success. Just install it, regenerate all of the thumbnails on your site – and the timeline announcement images should be fixed. * 2) The images you are using aren’t large enough to be cropped at the defined timeline express image size. * Solution: Upload larger images so they can be cropped at the necessary size. Or, alternatively – specify a separate image size to be used when displaying the announcement images. If this is the case, you’ll want to check out the section‘** Use Alternate Image Size For Announcements (New v1.1.5.5)**‘ in the [other notes](https://wordpress.org/plugins/timeline-express/other_notes/) section of this repository. * If you need some help implementing any of that, please consider purchasing the pro version – and reaching out via the support form within the plugin and I would be more than willing to walk you through the steps to getting things cleared up. * Thanks, Evan * Thread Starter [ryanllogan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanllogan/) * (@ryanllogan) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-crop-3/#post-7020936) * Have to taken a look yet? * 1. I removed the images from the site altogether and uploaded them again. The same issue persists. * 2. The images are 800 x 800 px. I can’t imagine the images need to be bigger than that. After all, they are being cropped to 350 x 120 px. * I don’t understand your other comments for #2 and I would not consider buying anything where the basic functionality doesn’t work in the FREE version. * Plugin Author [Evan Herman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eherman24/) * (@eherman24) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-crop-3/#post-7020937) * As previously stated in my earlier comment, the plugin is defining a custom image size and thus using that as the announcement image size. * This is not a bug, but a feature of the plugin. * See: [https://github.com/EvanHerman/Timeline-Express/blob/master/classes/class.timeline-express.php#L82-L83](https://github.com/EvanHerman/Timeline-Express/blob/master/classes/class.timeline-express.php#L82-L83) * I have posted my solution above, in #2 on how to work around it. * > If this is the case, you’ll want to check out the section ‘Use Alternate Image > Size For Announcements (New v1.1.5.5)’ in the other notes section of this repository. * Thanks, Evan * Thread Starter [ryanllogan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanllogan/) * (@ryanllogan) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-crop-3/#post-7020940) * Understood. I got it to work. Appreciate the support. * For all others out there, adding the following to your child theme’s functions. php, displays your timeline images at 50% of their original size. * **function change_timeline_express_announcement_image_size( $image_size ) { $image_size = ‘50%’; return $image_size; } add_filter( ‘timeline-express-announcement- img-size’ , ‘change_timeline_express_announcement_image_size’ ); * Plugin Author [Evan Herman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eherman24/) * (@eherman24) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-crop-3/#post-7020945) * Awesome, I’m glad that you were able to get things working how you need them to.
