Hi there,

Featured images that are at least 1080 px wide are displayed at a width of 1080 px on individual posts, but their height will vary based on the shape of the images.

For the three small featured images on your front page, it would be best to use images that have the same height and width so things look consistent there. The first image is a tall rectangle, while the other two are wide rectangles. If you crop the tall image to a rectangular shape, the images should look more consistent.

That said all, of the images are smaller than the recommended 1080 px width, so I’d recommend that you use larger images if you have them available. If you want to try specific sizes, you can try 1080 wide by 720 tall and see how that looks.

How do I set a current page as featured content. We don’t use posts, only pages.

Sure, so you will need to delete the tag “featured” from the page you wish to remove from the front of your site. Then, you can add the same tag to the new page. Ixion allows three featured pages on the front of the site.

You can edit/add tags from the editor of the page you are working on:

thank you for your reply.
i didn’t know that if the 3 images don’t have the dimension it doesnt work. I’ve put the 3 of them with the same 1080 x 720 ratio is it works .

merci!

Is there a way to make the featured image the same size as the images when inside of the post? I don’t want the image to look like a rectangle when viewing my home page
Thanks!

@associationleon: Nicely done. They look really good!

@jameelaramirez: I don’t see the Ixion theme on your site, but changing the default size of the featured images requires Custom CSS. If you need additional help with your Cerauno theme, please start a new thread here:
