Featured post images on the homepage don’t fill the tile

    Hi,

    The 3 featured posts/pages section on the ixion theme homepage doesn’t display the featured image in the thumbnail properly if image dimensions are greater than 570×380 pixels (I found this out through trial and error). Anything larger, even if I maintain the same aspect ratio for the featured images, shows a dark blue bar at the bottom of the thumbnail (the bar thickness varies as image resolution increases).

    I have deliberately set the 1st of these featured tiles to a larger image so someone can take a look and hopefully help (although I am pretty sure this can be replicated on any ixion theme installation).

    I am always having to resize featured images to 570×380 px if I want to feature those posts on the homepage. Any way around this or can this be fixed in a theme update? I couldn’t find any documentation of recommended featured image sizes to make this work properly. Somehow the ixion demo theme makes it work with 1080×720 images. Am I missing something?

    Thanks.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
