how to add custom thumbnail size to wordpress
If you are using the wordpress 2.9.2 or greater version then this feature is available in your wordpress but you need to enable this feature in your worpdress by using following function.
open your functions.php file and put following code in that file for enable the featured post feature in your wordpress
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
By default, WordPress gives you some image sizes when you upload an image. These image sizes are:
* Thumbnail
* Medium
* Large
* Full (the image you uploaded)
For showing the the featured image in your post you can use the following code
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' ); // for showing the thubnail. the_post_thumbnail( 'medium' ); // for showing the medinum size thubnail image the_post_thumbnail( 'full' ); // for showing the full size thubnail image
If you want to only show the specific image size in featured thubnail then use the following code.
add_filter( 'post_thumbnail_size', 'my_post_image_size' );
function my_post_image_size( $size ) {
$size = 'medium';
return $size;
}
