Different Feature Images on New Blog Posts

[pxforti]

Hi,

I am updating my genesis theme and I want to use a different sized featured image on all NEW blogs Posts.

My old featured images size was 100px wide. My new featured image size is 800px wide. As a result, I want to leave the old posts with the 100px wide featured image because the original image is 100px wide.

I realize that I can change the genesis theme setting to use a different image size, but that changes the image size on all posts.

I am trying some code that searches for posts newer than the August 1 and adds a different sized featured image to that post, but leaves the older post with the origianl 100px by 100px featured image.

Here is an example of the code I have so far. It works, but it leaves the old 100px by 100px image on the new posts:

add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'featured_post_image', 1 );
function featured_post_image() {
	global $post;
	if (strtotime($post->post_date) >= strtotime('2017-08-01') and ( is_singular( 'post' ) or is_category() or is_home() ) )	{
		the_post_thumbnail('large');
	}
}

Thanks

When I echo $post->post_date on my site, I get the year, month, day, hour, min, seconds.

try

get_the_date('Y-m-d', $post->ID )

edit: now that i think about it it, the original should still be greater than the string you gave, I'll keep looking.

I need to stop jumping to conclusions lol. I did this and it worked for me.

function featured_post_image() {
    global $post;
    $day = 20170801;
    
    if ( intval(get_the_date('Ymd', $post->ID )) >= $day ) {
        the_post_thumbnail('large');
    } else {
        the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail');
    }
}

you may have to do more stuff to make it clickable but I don't know

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Both date functions work. The problem I am having is that I want to remove the genesis feature image on new post using
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_image', 8 );
But that removes all genesis featured images. I only want to remove the genesis featured image from the new post and instead use

	add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'featured_post_image', 1 );
	function featured_post_image() {
		global $post;
		//if (strtotime($post->post_date) >= strtotime('2017-08-01') and ( is_singular( 'post' ) or is_category() or is_home() ) )	{
		$date = '2017-08-01';
		if ( get_the_date('Y-m-d', $post->ID ) >= $date and ( is_singular( 'post' ) or is_category() or is_home() ) )	{
			the_post_thumbnail('large');
			echo get_the_date('Y-m-d', $post->ID );
			remove_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_image', 8 );
		}
	}
