I have a book review site, and I’ve got Nirvana set to use the featured image as the header. That works fine, but because my images are all portrait orientation, the image takes over the page. Is there a way to automatically crop the image to a certain height (or proportion)? I’ve force-regenerated thumbnails after setting this option, and it didn’t help.

This should not happen. Nirvana registers an image size according to the configured header height and site width options and uses this image size to request the featured images to be used as header images.

Test out with the Force Regenerate plugin as well if you used a different one (not all regeneration plugins worked as expected in our test)>

WordPress’ featured image selection code gives priority to the width and will generally return the first thumbnail that matches (even if it is not the preferred on). This algorithm has the side effect of picking the full size image (or even another crop) when the width matches the desire value.

I’d test with an image with an original width larger than the needed value of 1200px to see if this mismatch still occurs.

I tested with an image far greater than the 1200 size (2400), and I still get the full image, not the crop.

Disable the theme’s “Force header image responsiveness” option to avoid this.

Thanks. That works in the sense that it does use a crop of some images as the header. But it screws up the default header on other pages, and some of the featured image headers as well. I’ll just give up on this option. Too bad.

PS I decided to try Anima (for the post title overlay), and in Anima (with no tweaks of any kind), the featured image header works fine. So, problem (inadvertently) solved.

Anima handles the header image differently, so the options behaviour is not the same as in Nirvana.
