[Resolved] How can I get a thumbnail on Home page and the Regular size on the single post?

[Dagmar]

OK, I start with the simplier:
Here is my first issue:

How can I get a thumbnail/small picture on a Home page and the same picture “normal size” one on the single post?
Like this:
https://www.petcha.com/ => click on any post, i.e.
https://www.petcha.com/help-my-adult-dog-threw-up-now-what/

or this one:
http://humoricon.com/ => Click on http://humoricon.com/a-modern-fairy-tale/

Thank you very much,

Hi there,

You can edit the sizes of your featured images on the blog page only by using the Blog add-on: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adjusting-the-featured-images/

Your single post featured image will stay full size by default.

Let me know if you need more info 🙂

You mean mucking with the CSS again

I guess I have to get used to it that I cannot edit the core style sheet, but have to use those snippets/custom fields/filters etc

Thank you for your answer, will see how much time it will all take

CSS is not needed for this.

It can be achieved using the customizer option in the page Tom linked to.

If you mean this
We can adjust our featured images in our blog by going to Customize > Blog > Featured Images.

It didn’t work on my site
http://admirable-dogs.com/
– so I resized the images in my graphic program and hard linked the images

Where I didn’t do it, and used the Featured image option it created many more problems I am trying to resolve

But I will also try GP on my other site, it may by the host setup. I’ve already had problems with this one.

Thanks again

Are you 100% sure your images are being added through the Featured Image meta box?: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-featured-images/

That’s the only way the image sizing options will work.
