  I am using the Dara theme and added a featured image on one of my pages, however, the height is too tall and requires more scrolling than I’d like. How do I resize the image?

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

  You can crop the image in a graphics program. If you don’t have one, you can try an online tool like Pixlr.

  You can also crop images in the older WP Admin dashboard.

  But what’s the ideal dimension for the image. I’m having similar problems at aderie.wordpress.com

  Hi there! As I see on your both website, you’re using Dara theme ( really nice theme ).

  Checking the theme info page: https://wordpress.com/themes/dara/ here is what I found:

  1. The Featured Image on the front page and on pages works best with images at least 1180 wide.
  2. Featured Images for posts should be at least 880 wide by 312 tall.

  Try these dimensions and let us know how it goes :)

  Have a good one!

  Aderie, you have a lot of white space above and below your logo. I’d recommend you crop it out in a graphics program or in the media editor:

  The recommended widths are on the showcase page, as Dragos pointed out.
