 * How does the wordpress 2014 theme handle the featured image/post thumbnail?
 * I’m trying to recreate that on my site with some success but not completly.
 * The 2014 theme seems to be showing the featured image at 100% width, with is 
   easy to emulate, but somehow it’s limiting the height of images.
 * The way it seems to be doing this is not anything that listed in the codex.
 * Can anyone shed any light on it?

 * Please link to the page that has the featured image, that you’re referring to.

 * It’s the default wordpress 2014 theme as shown here:

 * In the demo above the actual featured image used has been pre-cropped to the 
   exact dimensions, so it’s not really a good example.
 * If you have a site running the 2014 theme and you upload a featured image say
   that’s 1000px heigh, the theme will automatically crop the image to height 372.
 * On my site running a custom theme styled to look a bit like 2014, I can’t or 
   don’t know how to replicate this automatic cropping of the featured image. [http://defylife.co.uk/equipment/winter-tyre-review-heidenau-k60-silica/](http://defylife.co.uk/equipment/winter-tyre-review-heidenau-k60-silica/)

 * Use the `add_image_size` function to register the image size you want,
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size#Description](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size#Description)
 * Then spit out the image with the `$name` parameter you passed in `add_image_size`,

 * Note that that’s the **.com** demo website, not the .org. It’s not so different
   with Twenty Fourteen, but it may different for other themes.

 * It’sjust not working for me.
 * I’ve added the code below to my functions.
 *     ```
       add_image_size( 'featured', 1024, 350, true );
       ```
   
 * That should give me an image size of 1024px by 350px.
 * In my template I’m calling:
 *     ```
       <?php // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
       if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
       	the_post_thumbnail('featured');
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * The result is an image that is 333px wide. It just doesn’t seem to make any sense.
