 * Love this theme, and am using it to tune up my wife’s site. I really like the
   ability to select the number of columns (and many more options) in the Customizer,
   she wanted 2 columns on the front. A thumbnail image size of 560 / 0 worked well.
 * I found she had a few featured images that were only 1024px wide originals, and
   it left white space on the margins. Adding this to CSS makes sure the post featured
   images fill the top:
 *     ```
       .post-thumbnail img {
           width: 100%;
       }
       ```
   
 * Might be worth adding? Thanks again.

 * Hello cogdog,
 * 1) To resize featured image, you need to go settings -> media and change thumbnail
   size as you require
    2) unselect the Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions (normally
   thumbnails are proportional) and save 3) Now,you need to regenerate your images
   for that you need to install and activate plugin – Regenerate Thumbnails. 4) 
   go to tools -> regenerate thumbnails . click on regenerate thumbnails for featured
   images only.
 * Hope this will helps you.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * Thank you, I’m glad you like the theme 🙂
 * For proper image size setup please follow theme documentation at [https://webmandesign.github.io/docs/modern/#image-sizes](https://webmandesign.github.io/docs/modern/#image-sizes)
 * However, if you’ve changed the columns number, you’ve correctly needed to change
   image sizes too. 🙂
 * > Might be worth adding?
 * I’m not sure what you mean? You’re suggesting I should add your custom CSS into
   the theme itself? I’m sorry, but this will not be added to the theme as your 
   usecase is very specific. Also, this CSS was actually remove from theme in the
   past not to upscale images so users can decide themselves. Thank you for understanding!
   But the CSS you’ve provided should work perfectly fine for your usecase 😉
 * Best regards,
 * Oliver

 * Thanks for the response. Yes, I had changed both the columns number and the image
   sizes. This was a case where the theme was changed on an older blog with many
   posts, and not all the featured images were large enough.
 * True, specific use case is mine, and it’s looking great.

 * Hi,
 * Please understand that new image sizes will be applied to newly uploaded images
   in WordPress only. To regenerate old images use a plugin such as [Force Regenerate Thumbnails](https://wordpress.org/plugins/force-regenerate-thumbnails/)
   as stated in theme documentation at [https://webmandesign.github.io/docs/modern/#image-sizes](https://webmandesign.github.io/docs/modern/#image-sizes)

 * Yes, I fully know and use Regenerate Thumbnails often. As far as I know, it will
   not upsize older featured images where the original size was smaller than a defined
   media size.

 * No yo need featured img with width 100%, simple add this code in styles.css of
   your child theme.
 *     ```
       .featured-image img {
           width: 100%;
       } 
       ```
   
 * if this code reflect some issue, start fro root and specify the exact direction
   like
 *     ```
       #page-post article.page-content .featured-image  img {
           width: 100%;
       } 
       ```
   
 * Sorry for my English, i hope it will work.
