featured image

Hello Jag,

That would only be possible via a child theme.

How comfortable are you with PHP/CSS code?

Hi,
more or less I get it.
The problem can be in this part?

@media screen and (min-width: 1040px) {
.site-content .has-post-thumbnail .entry-header {
margin-top: -48px;
}

No, that part pulls the content up so it slightly overlaps the featured image – a design decision.

To change the featured image sixes you’d be looking at changing the set_post_thumbnail_size and add_image_size values in the after_setup_theme function callback.

You’d then apply the new values to the output via the child theme’s template-tags file using a custom function callback.

Hope that makes sense and points you in the right direction.

Zulf

Oh, thanks!
In functions.php I have however 2 sizes already. Maybe the name the smalled one should be changed into”featured image”? Or should be added px after numbers?

add_theme_support( ‘automatic-feed-links’ );

// Enable support for Post Thumbnails, and declare two sizes.
add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );
set_post_thumbnail_size( 672, 372, true );
add_image_size( ‘ridizain-full-width’, 1380, 770, true );
add_image_size( ‘ridizain-recentpost-thumb’, 372, 186, true );

I think we’re looking for the same set of instructions on how to actually change those defaults – my thread is here:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/set-standard-featured-image-size

Just changing the sizes in that code in a Child Theme’s function.php file does not change how the images are displayed. Changing the values in the original theme files would, but that defeats the purpose of using a Child Theme at all! So, Zulf, can you please point us to instructions on how to make changes to that functionality in a Child Theme?

(cross posted to my original thread as well)

Solution!

This page was very helpful: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/after_setup_theme

/* Set Default Featured Image Sizes */

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'ridizain_setup' );

function ridizain_setup() {

	// Enable support for Post Thumbnails, and declare two sizes.
	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
	set_post_thumbnail_size( 400, 300, true );
	add_image_size( 'ridizain-full-width', 600, 400, true );
	add_image_size( 'ridizain-recentpost-thumb', 250, 250, true );
}

You have to keep “ridizain_setup” named exactly that for it to override what’s in the original theme functions.php file. The values you choose in the size lines can be whatever you want.

Glad you found the information you need.
