Images Stretched

    When setting an image size smaller than the image, the image displays the entire image in those dimensions, so the thumbnail becomes distorted. For instance, I want to show only a part of an image with a height 300 width 200 – setting the thumbnail to 75 height 100 width.

    Is it possible to crop a portion of the image instead of showing the entire image in the thumbnail?

    Yes, that is possible. It needs some PHP skills in three steps. Lets call the new image size ‘rpwwt-thumbnail’:

    1. In the file ‘functions.php’ of your theme look for the setup routine add there the function add_image_size() [1]. For example
      add_image_size( 'rpwwt-thumbnail', 100, 75, true );

      The last argument has to be true to switch on cropping. Save the file.

    2. Install, activate and run once the plugin ‘Regenerate thumbnails’ [2] to let write images in the new dimension. After that you can deinstall it.
    3. Go to the Widgets page and in the RPWWT widget select ‘rpwwt-thumbnail’ from the image dimensions list. Save the settings and you are done.
