I have been trying to figure out how to change the size of the "featured image" in the wordpress twenty ten theme. I want to set a size of 300x168 but whatever I try It just keeps going back to 150x150.

Any help is appreciated.

in the Media settings, did you try changing thumbnail size?

tonyparra · 04-29-2011, 07:39 AM

i dont even mess around with its a pain try this:

1) install simple post thumbnails
2) set size of thumbnail
3) set code in theme

5mins of work and then you can simply copy and paste thumbnail urls or upload if you really want too

Add to style.css
.wp-post-image {
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
}
Might also want to adjust the size in your Media settings, so you won't get ugly stretched featured images.

This didn't do anything. The feature image is still 150x150.(I ofc changed the 150px in your example to the size I wanted)

Try
.wp-post-image {
width: 300px !important;
height: 168px !important;
}
and it should do it. Otherwise

I never used the twenty ten theme so I really don't know what featured image are you talking about, but I did some research and it seems it's a fucking mess, quite unexpected since you would expect a flawless theme. Anyway, just do this:

Code:

if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) ) { // Added in 2.9
	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
	set_post_thumbnail_size( 150, 150, true ); // Normal post thumbnails
	add_image_size( 'myfeatured', 300, 168 ); // Permalink thumbnail size
}

and then in your theme's single.php and index.php (ie under the title of the post)

Code:

<?php the_post_thumbnail('myfeatured'); ?>

that should work, but images would look like shit if they're created at 150x150px

VladS · 04-29-2011, 04:58 PM

Did you check out the functions.php file?

This did not work. This is driving me crazy

it is IMPOSSIBLE that it doesn't work, it's the bare bones of the post-thumbnail function. You must be doing something wrong here. Now that I check what I posted, I noticed I didn't say the first snippet of code goes in your functions.php file, while the second goes in your theme's files.

sorry if this was the issue, sometimes I just give things by already known
