  Can someone tell me what size an image needs to be in order to be a featured image on my homepage and fill the whole screen with Sela theme?

  I’ve tried to find the information but no luck :(

  Thanks

  Hi Jo,

  I can see that the image on happytravelness.com is currently taking up the full width of the screen. Awesome! Did you manage to resolve this issue by yourself?

  Just in case: The featured image on Sela’s front page and on pages works best with images at least 1180 wide.

  You can find this sizing recommendation, as well as others, under the Quick Specs box at the very bottom of Sela’s documentation here:

  Hope that helps! We’re right here if extra questions come up, too.

  Thanks! I actually just changed the image but that’s really helpful.

  Thank you also for pointing me in the right direction for the info :)

  Hi does the featured image need to be square? on my blog on the homepage the image does not take up the full box and has a black top and bottom. But when I make the image square it then looks weird on on the actual post page.

  Hope you can help thanks

  @beentheregotthetshirt: Sela’s featured image doesn’t need to be square. The theme recommends a width of at least 1180px, but the height doesn’t need to match that.

  If you have extra questions around that, please feel free to start a new thread on this forum and we can take a look at your site from there:
