Changing the size of the featured image

[Emilio]

I am in the process of updating my site to the Author Pro child theme. I having my front page change frequently using the Genesis post and page widgets. It appears that if a featured image is smaller than 800 * 800 the image will display properly; if the image is larger, it will display in the 800 * 800 window.

What I would like to do is have an option to display a featured image at 1024 * 576 which is a 16:9 aspect ratio. I tried adding the following line to functions.php directly after the 800 * 800 line.

add_image_size( 'featured-content', 800, 800, TRUE );
add_image_size( 'featured-content', 1024, 576, TRUE );

That changed the featured image drop down to 1024 * 576, but I lost the 800 * 800. Also, the image did not resize to 1024 * 576.

Can someone give me the correct code to enter to have an additional featured image choice of 1024 * 576. Also, if I use that size on the front page in the first widget area, will that throw everything else off?

You need to give the image size a different name; you're writing over 'featured-content' image.

Add this to functions.php instead:

add_image_size( ‘featured-content’, 800, 800, TRUE );
add_image_size( ‘featured-content-2’, 1024, 576, TRUE );

OR

add_image_size( ‘featured-content’, 800, 800, TRUE );
add_image_size( ‘featured-content-large’, 1024, 576, TRUE );
