Using featured images, or not?

    Hello,

    I’ve a question for you.

    I’ve just installed a new great theme (hueman), but I’ve a doubt regarding “featured images”. Are there any advantages by using them?

    Featured images have some limitations from what I’ve seen, for example you’ve to respect width and height otherwise it’ll be cropped/enlarged.

    I always attach an image to my posts, so from my point of view using featured images I’ll only lose time, as I’ll have first to put the image in the post, then find an image with correct sizes as featured image.

    Is there something I’m not considering?

    Hi daimpa,

    Featured images are great! And you can change the size under Admin > Settings > Media, and even decide whether they be cropped or not. By default they use the “thumbnail” size, but your theme can also be modified to other sizes, even custom sizes if needed. The advantages are numerous, mostly being able to target one image for display on certain pages when many may be available for that post or page.

    So play with sizes – you can use a plugin to regenerate thumbnail after modifying the sizes – and give featured images a chance 🙂

    best,
