Pull a different 'featured image' size for sticky posts?

Thanks for the tip, but regretfully, I’m not very good at scripting!

Could you offer additional insight as to how I may accomplish this?

instead of:

<?php the_post_thumbnail('whetever'); ?>

try and use:

<?php if( is_sticky() ) : the_post_thumbnail('sticky');
else : the_post_thumbnail('whetever');
endif; ?>

[edit: typo corrected]

refer to the Codex for setting and using featured image sizes:

Thanks! I was getting a parse error until I added a colon after ‘else’

<?php if( is_sticky() ) : the_post_thumbnail('sticky');
else : the_post_thumbnail('whetever');
endif; ?>

Having the same issue with the Twenty Fourteen template. Need some guidance on where to make this edit. The featured image on my Sticky post is 1240 x 520, which should be large enough, but I am still seeing the image get resized smaller with gray area around it.

Which file – specifically – should the edit be made in?

@shivasongster – please post a NEW thread in the forum for Twenty Fourteen theme –

Also be sure to use a child theme so that your changes are not lost when WP is updated.
