 * Hello everybody
    I´m redesigning my sailing clubs homage. (www.bodoseilforening.
   org) I wanted rectangular featured images on the front page with customizer. 
   What I did is the following: I used the following CSS in my child theme:
 *     ```
       /*remove round divider*/
       .round-div {
       	display: none;
       }
   
       /*change thumbnail size*/
       .thumb-wrapper {
       	display: block;
       	height: 200px;
       	width: 270px;
       } 
   
       .tc-thumbnail.span4 {
       	width: 270px;
       	height: 200px;
       	margin-bottom: 30px;
       }
       ```
   
 * I also needed to avoid cropping of the featured images so I copied “class-fire-
   init.php” to my child theme and changed line nr. 69 to:
    `$this -> tc_thumb_size
   = array('width' => 270 , 'height' => 200, 'crop' => false );`
 * This does essentially what I want.
    Unfortunately just copying a core file seems
   not be a very good solution since I do not know what the next customizer update
   will do to my website. I´m not very good at PHP so it might be a stupid question:
   Is there a better, update proof, way of doing this? Thanks Enno

 * I don’t really understand this whole thing around registering WP images.
 * However, logic prevails, as ever — and [@nikeo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikeo/)
   add filters, as ever 🙂 — and I see that there is a filter further down, around
   line 306, which means that this works:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'tc_thumb_size', 'my_thumb_size');
       function my_thumb_size() {
           $sizeinfo = array( 'width' => 270 , 'height' => 200, 'crop' => false );
           return $sizeinfo;
       }
       ```
   
 * This only changes the sizes of new images uploaded into the library. For older
   images, you will have to use a plugin like [Regenerate thumbnails](http://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/).

 * Thank you very much ElectricFeet. This was exactly what I needed. The logic escaped
   me because I do not understand all this filters and hooks system. Is there any
   tutorial for dummies? 😉

 * No tutorial I know of, but if you look at all the [snippets](http://www.themesandco.com/code-snippets/),
   you gradually pick up what’s happening.

 * As a php dummie, I’ve agreed with [@nikeo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikeo/)
   to write something. I’ve started but may take some time to publish.
