How do I disable image auto cropping on my featured images previews?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi there,
    I’m currently redesigning my website (http://psvitalatam.com) but it’s private right now.
    I’m using Sela theme, and this other blog of mine has the same issue: http://fanaticallymade.wordpress.com

    My problem comes with the hard crop of (say) a 4:3 image into 16:9. How do I disable (through WordPress.com CSS Editing) this function?
    I’ve looked over the code but I can’t find that single rule.

    Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks.

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

    How do I disable (through WordPress.com CSS Editing) this function?

    We wordpress.com bloggers do not have access to the template files underlying our themes on wordpress.COM hosted blogs and cannot edit them. This is a multiuser blogging platform. All blogs wearing the same theme use the same underlying template found on the live demo site for each theme.

    Does Customize let me edit HTML?
    No. Customize allows you to edit fonts, colors, and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup or PHP code. If you require this functionality, please consider moving your blog to a web host that supports theme code modifications. You can read more about why here http://support.wordpress.com/code/, and find a suitable host here http://get.wp.com/hosting/.

    Thanks for your quick and detailed reply.
    I already have a Premium plan on WordPress for the first website I mentioned, and I was curious if I could solve this via CSS editing.

    I wish I had wordpress.org, but it’s way more expensive.

    Have a nice day.
