Sorry, still trying to be clear about what I’m asking.

I get that the images that are used for the circle thumbnails are ideally square and the border radius creates the circle effect.

But once a post is clicked on, the featured image displayed will be a rectangle. Is that where the 700, 467 comes into play?

If I wanted the display of the image in an image post to be a panorama, would I change the function or the stylesheet (or both?)

If I want to be sure this rectangular image is not clipped, do I need to be sure that the height of the original is not in excess of 467?

This is for my personal art website so I’m trying to achieve a very fine-grained control of how each image is displayed (even if that means uploading multiple aspect ratio versions so the cropping comes out just right).

I’ve been designing/developing for over 10 years but have less experience with WP–which is to say I’m not afraid to roll up my sleeves and experiment to get exactly what I want.

Your theme is beautifully done and a wonderful starting point.

Thank you for this quick response. I did see the function that does the sizing, so I guess I was wondering–since I have the ability to make the source image any way I want and I want to avoid clipping the composition for featured images–should I be thinking in terms of a 700×467 original? Or even larger but with the same aspect ratio?

TIA
