I am using a child theme at the moment. I can still access the original theme files of coarse via ftp. Is there a way to increase the image height size of the images. I just need perhaps some more height something more proportional 960×600 or just whatever I can get besides 960×350. If not is it possible to use a third party slideshow program instead.
Thanks for any assistance.
Hi Keith,
You can change the height. Here’s what you’ll want to do:
- Go to the Appearance section in your WordPress dashboard and choose Edit.
- From the list of files on your right, choose images.php
- Locate this line:
add_image_size('header-image', 960, 350, true);
The 350 there is the height in pixels. Feel free to change that to whatever number you need.
- Save your changes.
That will only affect images uploaded after the change is made. To change existing images, install the regenerate thumbnails plugin. It adds a screen to the Tools menu where you can resize existing images.
Hope that helps out,
Bill
I am using a child theme, should i make a copy of the images.php to my child theme area, also is it limited to 3 slides or can that be increased.
You can add as many slides as you’d like to. Just publish more slides in the media > slides section to add additional ones.
At this time you’ll need to make the size change in the parent theme. Overriding something that’s loaded via a function is a bit different than something that’s in a file like single.php. When I make the next update to the theme, I’ll wrap the image sizes inside a statement that will allow for overriding. After that you can use the method described at http://www.organizedthemes.com/advanced-child-theme-usage/ to change the image sizes.
Let me know if you run into trouble.
Take care,
Bill
