Image Help

Hi @lynnebennett,

The image sizes are custom to Timeline Express, and it is a custom crop of the full image size. If you’d like to use larger image sizes, or even custom image sizes, you can use the filter built into the plugin to specify the ‘full’ image, or any other image size that you have registered.

We have documentation setup explaining how to achieve this:
https://www.wp-timelineexpress.com/documentation/how-do-i-use-a-larger-announcement-thumbnail-size/

Essentially what you’ll need to do is add the following snippet into the functions.php file of your active theme.

function custom_timeline_express_announcement_image_size( $image_size, $post_id ) {
    $image_size = 'full';
    return $image_size;
}
add_filter( 'timeline-express-announcement-img-size' , 'custom_timeline_express_announcement_image_size', 10, 2 );

That will return the full image size and not the custom image size you are seeing now.

Let us know how that works!

Hi Lynne,

The excerpt should strips out any HTML so that won’t work on the timeline. That should work on the single announcement page but not on the timeline itself.

If you want to allow for html to be added to excerpts on the timeline you might want to take a look at our html excerpts add on.

https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/timeline-express-html-excerpt-add-on/

That will allow for custom excerpts, independent of the announcement content, HTML, shortcode a and anything else you can use in the announcement content.

That should be exactly what you’re after. Let us know if you have any other questions – we’re here to help!
