Change Featured Image Type & Featured Image sizes

By paulg, 8 years ago. Last reply by SiteOrigin, 8 years ago.

Hello,

I am using the Vantage premium theme and would like to change a few image sizes.

On my blog page –> http://www.paulgalbreath.com/the-blog/

I would like the featured image for each post to be 400px in width and 209px in height.

On the post pages I would like to make the featured image size 1000px wide by 523px wide.

How can I make this happen?

    Hi Paul

    Luckily there is a plugin that might help you out here. Can you check this out and see if it does the trick for you?

    Can you take a look and see if that does the trick for you?

    Hi,

    I have tried the plugin and changed some sizes, but I still seem to get only small thumbnails( with the correct proportions) and huge pics on the post page that seem to be stretched from a smaller image.

    I must not be changing the correct media sizes.

    Hi Paul

    We can attempt to get you close to what you want, but, by default, Vantage might not have exactly the blog layouts you’re after.

    To change from the small blog archive images to AppearanceTheme SettingsBlogFeatured Image Type change it to Large.

    You can then add the following to Appearance > Custom CSS:

    /* Set a max-width for the single post and archive featured image */
    
    .single .entry-thumbnail img {
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-left: auto;
    max-width: 50%;
    }
    
    article.post .entry-header .entry-thumbnail img {
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-left: auto;
    max-width: 50%;
    }

    And adjust the 50% max-width value as required.

    Thanks you! I was able to get the size I wanted with the code above. I just took your direction and changed the max width value to 30%.

    Thanks!
