  Hello, i am experimenting with the grid page (parent page) for my portfolio projects. However i dont understand the required dimensions for this feature image, nor how to add additional images to the child page. If the feature image has to be as wide as the child page (which is now set to default), how do you select the part that you want to be visable of the grid page? The title box is now over lapping the image. https://hauteculturefashion.wordpress.com/portfolio-projects/45-2/ Thanks Donna

  Looks like that page is no longer published, but I’m not seeing any child pages on your site at the moment.

  i am experimenting with the grid page (parent page) for my portfolio projects.

  Just to be clear, the grid page is not meant for portfolio projects, it’s meant to display a grid of regular sub-pages.

  You can see an example of a grid parent page on the Sela demo site:

  https://selademo.wordpress.com/page-templates/grid-page/

  And here’s a couple of examples of child pages of the grid parent, to show you how the featured images are displayed:

  The featured image on the grid child pages is cropped to 1180 by 435, as long as the image meets that minimum size.

  You can see recommended dimensions in Sela at the bottom of the theme showcase page here:

  how do you select the part that you want to be visable of the grid page

  It’s not possible to define which specific portion of the image you want to be displayed on the grid parent page, that’s done automatically within WordPress. The small images on the grid parent page will be cropped or resized to 360 by 242.

  Let me know if you have any other questions.

  I just noticed this is a duplicate post and that you’ve gotten things resolved. I’m going to close this thread so you can continue in this longer one:
