Adding thumbnails to event widget

[barronlau]

Hi, I’ve successfully added the images to the event widget, however they are not thumbnails of the featured image, they are cropped into a square and cropped incorrectly. What can I do about that?

Hi!

A lot can be done here with WordPress’s own built-in functions.

set_the_post_thumbnail_size() can be used to register new thumbnail/featured image sizes and dictate how they should be cropped. When you call get_the_post_thumbnail() you can specify the size you want to retrieve.

Careful use of both these functions – or some of their related functions – should get you on track here 🙂

Does that help?

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
