 * Zulf,
 * Sorry to bring another issue, but I placed constraints on the size of the slider/
   header images on individual pages (400px instead of 500px), and now all of my
   pictures are getting squished vertically rather than cropping. Any suggestions?
 * Thanks,
    Valerie

 * A good example is: [http://www.valisemag.com/2013/12/31/monthly-obsession-holiday-travel/](http://www.valisemag.com/2013/12/31/monthly-obsession-holiday-travel/)

   which is also featured on the main page and similarly distorted)

 * Hello Valerie,

   > pages (400px instead of 500px)
 * Can I ask how that was done?
 * Could you also try to regenerate the thumbnails if the theme was installed after
   images had been uploaded.

 * Zulf,
 * I have deleted and re-uploaded the images several times, and the problem persists.
   I created it in two places:
 * 1. On the slider:
 * Customize > Featured Slider Options > Set Slider max-height (numbers only!) –
   Default is 500! > set to 400.
 * On the slider, even being set to 500 creates a distortion, but it’s also too 
   big for the front page (hence my setting to 400).
 * 2. On individual posts:
 * Customize > TwentyFourteen General Options > Set Overall Content Image max-height(
   numbers only!) – maximum recommended is 572. > set to 400
 * On the individual pages, set to 572 is still distorted, and is also too big for
   the individual page (can’t see any text below the image without scrolling.
 * BUT, thumbnails in the grid below the slider are not distorted in any way–they
   are cropping themselves just fine–, it’s just the headers which are getting distorted.
 * Thanks!
    Valerie

 * Sounds like you are using the Fourteen Extended plugin which has a known issue
   with image sizing. This is been fixed in the latest version coming up this week.
 * Beta testing is going on over at: [http://wpdefault.com/fourteen-extended-beta-1-2-3/](http://wpdefault.com/fourteen-extended-beta-1-2-3/)
 * Hopefully we’ll get this resolved with the new version going live.

 * Zulf,
 * Thanks! I installed Beta and it didn’t fix the issue, but I found a workaround
   I’m willing to do (I have to set the Set Overall Content Image max-height = 1000,
   set the Set Slider max-height = 450, and crop my photos to 620px height… then
   everything plays nicely).
