    Hello, I dont know whether im either doing something wrong or I am misunderstanding the plugin completely. So ill explain the purpose of use and then explain my problems.

    I ddownloaded the plugin to crop a featured image and insert that newly cropped image straight away as the feature image.

    I am able to crop and view and save perfectly but I am struggling to find an option to insert that cropped image into my feature image box. I am instead having to right click the image, save to desktop and then manually uploading to wordpress which you can imagine is very long winded. Could I please have help?

    Regards.

    What you want is possible through the stock wordpress capabilities. After you upload your image you can edit it (crop/rotate & others) through the media library. Hopefully this helps.

    What this plugin does uses a functionality where themes take the featured images and resize them. (These resizes are named for convenience). When wordpress makes the resize it crops straight from the middle and that can’t be controlled. This plugin creates those named crops from a position that the author can choose.

    Thankyou for your response. What I mean is when I click crop and save, nothing happens. We just have to click the ‘x’ and exit away. We can see the thumbnail has saved in the plugin itself but we cannot apply this as the feature image.

    After we click crop and save, how do we use that cropped image as a featured image?

    Kind regards.

    Your theme has to support post thumbnails. (It should call add_image_size somewhere to create a post thumbnail and then where-ever it creates the featured-image HTML it should be calling wp_get_attachment_image with the post-thumbnail size name. Alternately, you can use my other plugin which creates a small shortcode you can put in your post anywhere to embed the image with a little more flexibility.

    How do I know if my theme is supported? Im happy to take your email or have you email me to give you access to the backend if you wish?

    Your other plugin is not quite what im looking for as it is just the featured image I want to crop due to peoples faces not being in the output
