 * I am using the mobile version of the theme Newspaper. I m also using Contextual
   related posts. If I use the masonry style, the thumbnails are cropped only from
   the center, which makes some of them like they cut the head of the person in 
   the picture. Like here: [https://imgur.com/a/qzSXMGY](https://imgur.com/a/qzSXMGY)
   
   Is there a setting or something I can do so the crop begins from the top of the
   picture? I m using the 80×60 size and I want to keep using it, so setting a bigger
   size to the thumb will not help.
 * Thanks!

 * Sorry for the delay. You will need to use a different plugin to override image
   cropping, as it is a limitation of WordPress core.
 * Please check out [https://wordpress.org/plugins/crop-thumbnails/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/crop-thumbnails/)–
   I haven’t used it personally but I believe this could help with picking where
   you want the image to be cropped from.
