Featured Image Size

[Kay Pitre]

I’m running the Boss theme with the Social Learner (Sensei) child theme. What is the recommended image size for blog posts?

Hi @kaypitre, The standard size for Blog featured image should be around 1050×420

Hi @pallavi,

The image quality is fine in the Blog Post Feed (around 1280px wide by 500 px).

I notice that all my individual (single) Blog posts in the Social Learner theme is 624px wide and around 420 high. Can I change this somehow?

Best regards,
Michael

I have tried to change options in (see below picture). Small / Big only changes the height but the image dimensions remain the same (624px wide).

Best regards,
Michael

Here is an example of the associated code from a “single” post:
background-image: url(/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/PI-day-624x101.png);
background-image: url(/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/interview_1455870962-624x416.jpg);

As you will notice from this code both single post images are constrained to a relatively low-quality 624px width.

Best regards,
Michael

I will just bump this one in case it was missed.

Hi @mln83

boss/single.php
line 30

$id = get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID, 'medium'); 

You can replace it with large or full as per your requirement
The default image sizes of WordPress are ‘thumbnail’, ‘medium’, ‘large’ and ‘full’ (the size of the image you uploaded).

$id = get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID, 'large'); 

To keep your edits safe, you can copy single.php to child then edit it.
