 * Hi,
 * Can someone please clarify what the new 2.9 wp post thumbnail can and can’t do.
 * I’m having a difficult time with getting it to crop images down
 * Does the hard-cropping actually work? when and when doesn’t it work?
 * I want to be able to upload an image and Ideally it would be cropped to the thumbnail
   size I specced via a hard crop.
    I can work around the general un-user friendliness
   of it all at the moment. I’ve been using the image editing functionality with
   some success.
 * this is how I’m declaring it:
 * set_post_thumbnail_size(200, 126, true);
 * <?php
    if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail(array(200,126), array(‘
   class’ => ‘alignleft’)); } else { echo ‘<img src=”‘ . get_bloginfo(‘template_directory’).‘/
   images/thumb-na.jpg” />’; } ?>
