 * Hi all,
    I’m trying to show a different size for the featured flexslider post
   on my home. I prepared a screenshot: [http://www.80s.it/wp-content/uploads/home.fw_.png](http://www.80s.it/wp-content/uploads/home.fw_.png)
 * to make you understand easier which is the final target.
 * Consider I’ve modified the style.css (using a child theme) for post thumbnail
   this way:
 *     ```
       .post-thumbnail {
   
       width: 40%;
   
       float: left;
   
       margin-right: 10px;
   
       margin-bottom: 0px;
       ```
   
 * I try to set this
 * .featured .post-thumbnail { width: 100%; height: 250px; }
 * and the outcome is good for the image but the title and excerpt get inside..wouldn’t
   be bad having title and excerpt inside the image but they show up just if you
   pass the mouse over the image and when you make it, they are almost unreadable.
 * any advice?
 * Thanks,
    Daniele

 * Do you know how to set selected posts featured on this theme?
 * I have selected featured post number to four but it is taking recent items.
 * Throw some light on this question.

   is about the post image size. You should start another topic.

 * [@carioti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carioti/) – give this a try and
   see how it works:
 *     ```
       .featured .post-thumbnail {
       float: none;
       max-height: 670px;
       width: 100%;
       margin: -200px 0 20px;
       overflow: hidden;
       }
       ```
