These are alternated depending on the layout chosen. * So when you increase the width to 847px then the larger size is used but as with all themes WordPress does not pick this change up automatically and there’s always a requirement to regenerate the thumbnails. * Please use the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin found at [http://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/) which will resolve your issue. * Do let us know if that helps or not. * Thanks, Zulf * Thread Starter [m_adick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/m_adick/) * (@m_adick) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-image-dimensions/#post-4444262) * hi thanks for the quick note. i rescaled to 1038×576 and now it’s hugging the sides of the page as i wanted. * however, i still have a white space right under the header bar in twenty fourteen( the black bar with the menu, etc.). * see this to see what i mean: [link](http://shop.seafood-and-co.com/) * i would like the featured image to hug the black bar. * how to remove the padding between the top bar and the featured image. * thanks * Plugin Author [Brian Harris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zgani/) * (@zgani) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-image-dimensions/#post-4444268) * Cool. * The white space is a theme design and not from the plugin – I’d suggest posting in the theme’s forum for assistance on that issue. You might want to do a quick scan to see if it has not been fully answered as I seem to recall the issue being raised a few times. * Plugin Author [Brian Harris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zgani/) * (@zgani) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-image-dimensions/#post-4444380) * Marking as resolved as additional question is theme related and not a plugin issue. * [adelguerrot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adelguerrot/) * (@adelguerrot) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-image-dimensions/#post-4444447) * Hi there, * My featured image is shrinking even if I use an image which is 672 by 372 pixel. What could I do.

I resized my picture to 1038 × 576 but i still get the same result. Any Idea? How do i chose another option than full width for the featured picture? Thanks for your help.

I want to have the featured image to be longer (larger height). How can I make the featured image height larger?

The images must be at least as large in height as to what you wish to set them to. * What is the actual image size?
