    Firstly I love this theme! Thanks. However I understand that there are different image sizes, but it only lets me upload one image (featured image) which is then cropped for the featured posts and thumbnails next to the posts. Is there a way to upload different images as the cropped images look messy and are cropping important parts of the image. my site is http://www.thetradiesiwfe.co.nz

    @Tracey: In which section are you talking about. If you are talking about Featured Content section, then you can choose featured content type as “Featured Image Content” and upload your original image. So, can you send me more details about it. Maybe share your image. Also your site in not live. Can you check in your site URL.

    Hi, sorry I spelt it wrong above http://www.thetradieswife.co.nz/
    Mainly my landing/front page. I upload a featured image and the top slider image is long horizontal, the next section down the featured post images are horizontal but the edges are cut off (compared to the slider image) and then the next section down where it shows the list of posts, the thumbnail next to it is square.
    Is there a way to upload 3 different sized images? Or alternatively make all 3 sections images the same shape?

    @Tracey: You cannot change the size of featured image in latest post in your homepage. The only option for latest post in your homepage is to change the “Archive Content Layout” layout.

    For slider, you can choose slider type as “Featured Image Slider” from “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider => Featured Slider Options => Select Slider Type”. Then you can upload image of any size you like. It will not corp. It give you option to upload image, add title and excerpt content and link as per your need.

    For Featured Content do the same, you can choose slider type as “Featured Image Content” from “Appearance => Customize => Featured Content => Featured Content Options => Select Content Type”. Then you can upload image of any size you like. It will not corp. It give you option to upload image, add title and excerpt content and link as per your need.

    For latest post, you can option to select image display position from layout. For that, go to “Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Layout Options” and then change Archive Content Layout.

    Thanks for such quick replies Sakin and thanks for your advice. I love how customisable this theme is. I like the layout of my homepage but after playing with some of the options like you suggested it is still cropping my single image to fit in the various sizes. Im wondering if this theme is going to work the way I want it to. I really love using images in my posts. After seeing my blog do you have another one of your themes you think may work better for me possibly?

    I have copied the image url’s I only uploaded 1 single image into “featured image” but the image is resized for each position and edges are cut off.

    I either want to use 3 different pictures so they dont look cropped or have the 3 pictures with the same proportions just different sizes

    @Tracey: Yes, I understand and this is the design that works like that. So, if you want same image to work on all.
    Then
    1. For slider and featured content, please user Featured Image Slider and Featured Image Content.
    2. Then for featured image, upload image size of 800px width and height 484px. This is size of featured image size.
    3. Then go to “Appearance => Customize => Layout Options”. Then in ” Archive Content Layout”, select the option “Excerpt Image Top” and in “Single Page/Post Image Layout”, select option “Featured Image Size”.
