WordPress 2014 feature image

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. https://defylife.co.uk/equipment/winter-tyre-review-heidenau-k60-silica/

Use the add_image_size function to register the image size you want,

Then spit out the image with the $name parameter you passed in add_image_size,

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

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.
