Is it possible to display the 'featured image' at full height in the event?

[Ashley]

Hi, I realise that the ‘featured image’ gets square-cropped for the tooltip hover on the grid view, but must it always be letterbox-cropped on the single event page?

Is there any way of displaying it at full height, or if not, can it be hidden from this page but remain as a thumbnail on the grid?

Hi Ashley. I’m not sure about this myself, but our developer Jonah may have some suggestions. Let me see what he can offer up – he’ll respond here directly.

Hi Ashley, you can certainly adjust the image sizes however you want. If you look in single.php we just use the_post_thumbnail() to display the image.

You can either pass in default parameters for sizing, i.e. ‘thumbnail’, ‘medium’, ‘large’, ‘full’. Or, you can add your own sizes via the add_image_size() function in WordPress and then use this size as a parameter.

More details on image sizing in WordPress can be found at: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_post_thumbnail

Note, if you’re going to modify single.php make sure to do within an ‘events’ folder in your theme so as not to lose your changes when updating.
