I’ve done this before and fiddled with it for hours only to realize that I had not actually clicked save in the WP Edit image screen. There is a small save button under the image you need to click that before clicking the blue update button on the right.
Hope this helps. Once you find a solution please tag the thread as resolved.
Thanks, but I did this – unfortunately the reason of this bug is something different…
It possible but might require some work. In the functions.php you can add code that will create different size images when you upload an image. You would have to create a function and add the wordpress function add_image_size(). You would have to add an action hook to call the function you just added. So it would look like this
function mythememods(){
add_immage_size("newsizeimage",400,200,true);
}
add_action('after_setup_theme','mythememods');
after you create the new size you would have to run some kind of plugin to resize all the mage that have already been added. Most people use Regenerate Thumbnail plugin.
After that you would have to modify the parts of theme you want to change the image size.
It can be done but not easily. It would take some coding to change everything.
@mrtom414 thanks, probably it will work, I just feel myself not so confident with WP, I have start just few days ago… I simply cropped this file manually outside of WP and uploaded the cropped version, and deleted the original one. Let’s say it solved the problem.
the size of the image is determined by the theme. The developer could have used different methods for getting the image. He could be using the featured image or he could be using ACF to create fields for different images. The size of the image was determined by the theme developer. To change things, you would have to create a child theme and modify the settings.
