Sizing featured images

    Hi there,

    I’m uploading a number of featured images W 242px x H 300px.

    I find that in the ‘blog’ view, the images are being stretched and are therefore the resolution is not as good.

    Is there a css property I can change to stop this?

    Did try adding “set_post_thumbnail_size( 242, 300 );” to the functions.php but no luck!

    Thanks in advance.

  • Hey, Rich!

    Are you using HTML like the following example (especially the width and height parameters)?

    <img src=”/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Bat.jpg” alt=”Bat” width=”776″ height=”582″ />

    Hi Augustin,

    Thanks for the message!

    I’m just setting the featured image via the option in WordPress.

    If you follow the link below, you’ll see the stretched images in the blog feed:

    https://217.199.187.192/conti-bike.co.uk/category/tyres/hypersport/

    If you then click on the read more link to any of the subsequent pages, you will see the image in it’s original size.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Rich

    The blog image cuts are W 580px by H 380px. You need to upload the images at a larger size than that otherwise WordPress uses the full image and the theme stretches it to fit.

    Hope that helps

    Thanks

    Great, thank you!

    Is there a way to make the featured image in the blog post list a standard smaller size via css? It is also stretching the the image for me and i do not want to make and upload the image larger in the original post.
