Adding Featured Image?

Ok, this resourced helped: https://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/new-in-wordpress-2-9-post-thumbnail-images/

Still one more problem. For some reason it’s cutting some height off the image. The natural image size is 278×278, I set the thumb size to 75×75 and it’s cutting the source image to 278×198, therefore making the thumb 75×59.

I’m having this problem too. Why does it crop to 198px high?

me too, any ideas where this size is set?

do you use set_post_thumbnail_size( 50, 50 );

or

set_post_thumbnail_size( 50, 50, true );

you would want to use the second option (true) to have an exact sized thumbnail

The first option has the image resized first, whereas the second crops to exact size

The tutorial above gives a good description of the 2 modes

Try this method by using a custom image size, I use this and have different sized thumbnails named ‘home-page’ and ‘list-page’ and just add the different calls to return the images:

With the ‘latest post’ image I cant seem to change the image size. Can anyone help me here. Where can I change this? I’m at the early stages of learning how WP works so if you can give any advice with this in mind that would be fantastic. Thanks in advance.
