How to Resize featured image on protected page
7 replies · Started by Linda on May 15, 2019
Hi Support,
I read through all the other posts accessed by searching for "resize featured image on page". Most were about header or post images.
I have a page accessed only after a product is purchased. I set a featured image, but it is HUGE! I really just want a smallish (that's the technical term!) image to break up the text that is beneath it.
Is there a way to accomplish this without coding? Could I just use the huge image from Media library,, resize it, save it under a different name and then upload the resized image as the featured one?
Or have I totally misunderstood the whole "featured image" concept and would I be better to just not set one for this page? I don't think I've ever used one before.
Thanks for your help,
Linda
P.S. You won't be able to see the page from the URL as it's protected, but I can send a screenshot if you need to see how huge is huge! :-)
Hi there,
The featured image size can be adjusted globally in the customizer:

If it's just that one page you are wanting to modify, then changing the actual image size as you mentioned is probably the easiest method.
Let me know :)
Hi Leo,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!
I thought I'd check out your link to see if it might be better to set these images globally. Trouble is I couldn't find where the settings in the article are located.
UPDATE: Aha! Just found it. I had to click "Customize" at the top of the home page and then Layout -> Blog. So you can ignore all the rest of this note! :-) And I tried it out, adjusting the page image size, but still don't like how the image looks on the page. Instead, I think I'll just insert the image in the page instead of worrying about a Featured Image for it.
I activated the Blog add-on, but where do I find "Customization - General" shown on the left side of linked article to access Featured Images shown on the right? When I click "customize" in "Appearance" I don't get the same list.
Apologies if this is a dumb question!
Linda
The options are in the Customizer > Layout > Blog.
Oops, sorry Leo - you're too fast for me! You'd replied before I got to tell you my update. And where you said it was is exactly where I found it!
Thanks for your help,
Linda
P.S.I have already left a review. Am I able to leave more than one?
Haha awesome :)
I think you can leave more than one review actually. If not WordPress admin will just remove it anyways.
We really appreciate it!
Good. I'll leave as many as I want and let WordPress do with them as they will! You guys deserve lots of great reviews: not only is your theme terrific, but your support is outstanding!
A fan,
Linda
Always happy to hear positive feedback.
Glad we've been helpful :)
