 * Hi,
    I need some help with the thumbnails on homepage. I would like to choose
   what part of the image to show on homepage square thumbnail by re-cropping the
   images. I could not achieve this by Post thumbnail editor. Do you have any other
   solutions?

 * Ok I think I could change the crop what to display. I needed to crop the post-
   thumb with Post thumbnail editor plugin. But it does not really solve my problem.
   Cause when I make the post-thumb square it is using this same squared image for
   the responsive/mobile version. And there is an other ratio. I would like to leave
   it 16:9 by default on responsive.

 * Hi [@michalmarcek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michalmarcek/),
 * Hitchcock scales all thumbnails on archive pages to a 1:1 aspect ratio by default.
   You can change the aspect ratio to 16:9 by adding the following CSS to `Appearance
   → Customizer → Extra CSS`:
 *     ```
       .posts .post {
           padding-top: 17.26875%;
       }
       ```

 * Hello,
    I have the some problem. My question is if there is possibility to upload
   thambnail image separately from post image. Because when I publish image with
   text on it, text on thumbnail is cropped. Thank you!

 * [@igornv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/igornv/) Not out of the box, no.
   I remember there being plugins doing something similar, but I don’t know of any
   offhand.
 * [@michalmarcek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michalmarcek/) The CSS I 
   posted should take care of your issue, so I’m marking the thread as resolved.
