Default image display size

[Ken]

In WordPress Settings > Media, I have Large size’s maximum width set to 600px. When someone submitted an event with an image 800px wide, it got displayed at 800px wide. Is there a way for Community Events to default to using my site’s Large size?

I saw a similar question was previously asked about limiting image uploads, though I wasn’t sure if that was referring to filesize or image size. However, I don’t want to limit the upload by any criteria; I just want to define which version is displayed.

Hi Ken,

If you are happy editing templates/working with template overrides then what you would need to do is edit your custom events/single.php template.

In there you will see the following line (around line 135):

the_post_thumbnail();

You would need to add an argument specifying the size to be used, otherwise it assumes that you want the original image size:

the_post_thumbnail('large');

Does that help at all here?
