Image cropping

Hi Bart. You could try copying the /functions/init-core.php hu_setup() function to a child theme and change the add_image_size hard crop option from true to false:

// Thumbnail sizes
add_image_size( 'thumb-small', 160, 160, false );
add_image_size( 'thumb-standard', 320, 320, false );
add_image_size( 'thumb-medium', 520, 245, false );
add_image_size( 'thumb-large', 720, 340, false );

Then install and run the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

Here are a couple of references for image cropping:

Thanks for your response. That does work, however.. I want a full preview of my images, not a copped part of it.

I had managed this in the past, but aren’t sure how I did it, since there was never a need to do it again.

Do you have any suggestions?

Best,

Bart

Just discovered that the code below gives me the result that I was looking for:

`add_image_size( ‘thumb-small’, 160, 9999 );
add_image_size( ‘thumb-standard’, 320, 9999 );
add_image_size( ‘thumb-medium’, 520, 9999 );
add_image_size( ‘thumb-large’, 720, 9999 );`

The thing is, I have to put in in my parent theme init-core.php file, because when I create the file in my Child-theme, wordpress seems to ignore it.

Am I doing it wrong?

Best,

Bart

when I create the file in my Child-theme

You don’t need the entire init-core.php file in your child theme. You just need to copy the hu_setup() function from init-core.php to your child theme functions.php file and make the changes there.

You are right.

That totally worked. I was under the impression that I had to have the same file names and paths in my child theme as is with the parent theme.
But functions.php is still active in today’s child themes.

I should read up on it.

Thanks for your help.

Best,

Bart

I did this and now my menus are not working. https://www.politicskenya.net/

Just to clarify: I now have a child theme with a functions.php file in there. In this functions.php I only have the lines that declare the hu_setup() rules in there.

This works for me.

What not to do is to copy the init-core.php to your child theme.

This is what I did wrong the first time. Hope it helps.

Best of luck!
