What is the command for resizing images?

Hey Virmodrosti,

You can use the https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/add_image_size/ function to add new image sizes. These work just like the default ones (large, medium, thumbnail) etc.

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'wpdocs_theme_setup' );
function wpdocs_theme_setup() {
add_image_size( 'crop-name-here', 240, 135 ); // 240 pixels wide by 135 pixels tall, soft proportional crop mode
}

You can add the above to functions.php and any new images you upload afterwards which are bigger than that will also have a cropped version of that size created.

You can then use these in your theme through several functions. For example:

the_post_thumbnail( 'crop-name-here' );

For existing images, you will either need to use a regeneration plugin – https://en-gb.www.ads-software.com/plugins/search/regenerate+images/ or the WP CLI https://developer.www.ads-software.com/cli/commands/media/

Hope this helps
