Post Information » Featured Image

The options described below are located in the theme's Post Information » Featured Image panel on the Customize screen.

Controls the featured images visibility on single post sections.

Auto Select Images from Posts Content

VE SE RO KA FL ES BR AN

Controls whether or not the theme should use images from inside posts as featured images (when no featured image is set).

Tip

This functionality depends on the content images actually being associated with the post/page itself. This happens when the image is uploaded while editing the post/page and no association happens if the image is uploaded directly to the library (or can be incorrect if the image was uploaded while editing a different post or page than the one it is displayed in).

VE SE RO KA FL ES BR AN

Controls the maximum height of the featured image (in pixels). Featured images are cropped to this height and the appropriate width (depending on site width and posts list layout).

Important

It is necessary to regenerate thumbnails for existing library images after changing these values.

Additional Functionality

SE RO KA FL ES BR AN

Set this value to 0 and the Image Behaviour option below to Contained to disable featured image processing entirely (and display featured images at the size and aspect ratio they originally have).

VE SE RO KA FL ES BR AN

Controls the layout featured images use when displayed:

  • Cropped - forces the featured image to be as close to the configured height as possible.
  • Contained - makes the featured image fit in the available space without cropping too much of its sides. When the theme resizes in width (to fit the screen) the featured image will be shorter than the configured height.

VE SE RO KA FL ES BR AN

Controls the position of the viewpoint the image cropping occurs at.

Additional Functionality

SE RO KA FL ES BR AN

Set to No Crop to disable featured image cropping entirely.

SE RO KA FL ES BR AN

Controls whether or not to use the post's or page's featured image as header image. Applies to single posts and static pages views and only occurs when a general header image is set (which the featured image will replace).

The featured image is used in the header only if it is large enough (at least 75% of the configured site width and configured header height). Depending on the theme version used, this limit can be disabled.

Featured Images in Header for Custom Post Types

BR

Extends the use of figured images as header image for custom post types, such as Jetpack portfolio and testimonials, WooComerce products.

SE RO KA FL ES BR AN

Controls the use of placeholder images in the Cryout widgets and Related Posts section when listed posts do not have featured images set.
