Featured image is original full size

  • Hi,

    Sorry if it has been discussed,could not find a topic with that issue, if I’m wrong, please point me in right direction.

    My website, WordPress 4.2.2 was running Expound theme. I noticed only recently the featured images are full size instead of a smaller version. This is a bad experience for users. All other images inside posts are at lower resolution.

    When I choose a feature image for my post it does not actually let me choose a resolution. I thought wordpress would pick the right one.

    I switched back to twenty-fifteen theme tonight for troubleshooting purpose. Still the same issue.

    The website is https://vincentonwheels.com. (hope link is ok, happy to delete if not required )

    A few basic pugins for maps running, no code change, pretty much a basic setup. Running jet-pack.

    Issue is happening on mobile, desktop. I don’t have access to a desktop computer as I’m remote from any town but can configure things from my phone.

    THEME COFFEE MONKEY

    Hi!

    One way would be to use the filter post_thumbnail_size in order to change that. In a child theme you could use something like:

    THEME COFFEE MONKEY

    Sorry, kiddo decided to help out and press buttons. ??

    The code:

    add_filter( 'post_thumbnail_size', 'child_size' );
function child_size(){
  return 'expound-featured';
}

    Where the return is the size you want. Core has thumbnail, large, medium that you can use. The theme adds two sizes: expound-featured and expound-mini.

    That code could reside in a child theme or in a functionality plugin.

    Hope that helps!
