How to get all the gallery images the same proportions?

    I’m mostly loving this plugin (and paid for the Pro version), but I can’t seem to work out how to get the gallery to show all images in the same proportions (eg. 4:3)?

    The images in the gallery all have the same width in the columns, but each row seems to have a different height?

    All my images are different sizes so I have crop “on”, so was hoping to be able to set all the images to square or 4:3?

    Thanks for your continued hard work.

    Hi @primitivenet,

    Thanks so much for reaching out about this issue. When you enable the “Crop images” setting for your HappyFiles gallery, it is applying a cropping effect the same way the WordPress gallery does by adding a “is-cropping” CSS class to the gallery element, which makes sure all your gallery images take up the same height.

    If you need to actually crop your files, I recommend to add a custom image size to your site, and then regenerate all your thumbnails (there are tons of free plugins with this functionality in the WP plugin repository). And use that image size in your HappyFiles gallery.

    For a 4:3 cropped image size (1200×900), you’d add the following code to the functions.php file of your child theme:

    add_image_size( 'happyfiles_gallery_4_3', 1200, 900, true );

    You can set the dimensions to anything you want, really. Just make sure to set the fourth parameter to true as it is responsible for the actual cropping. Or to an array with the x- and y-axis cropping position.

    More information about the add_image_size function: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/add_image_size/

    Hope this helps,
    Thomas

    You can specify a custom image size with the shortcode, but is it possible to have these available in the dropdown in the Gutenberg block?
