 * I have seen the instructions for adjusting the image thumbnail sizes and can’t
   seem to get it to behave the way I want. My goal is to make the medium-thumb 
   size about half the size as it is from the theme defaults. I have a child functions.
   php setup and when I play with the size, making the first image parameter larger
   shrinks the overall size of the image height (crop). I cannot do the same with
   the width (doesn’t seem to behave the same way – like CSS is taking precedent)
   and so I can only create an odd thin, wide crop for the image. What am I missing?
   I am just trying to make the thumbnails smaller to take up less real estate. 
   Here is the text I have in my child functions.php:
 *  add_image_size( ‘thumb-small’, 160, 160, true );
    add_image_size( ‘thumb-medium’,**
   250, 118**, true ); add_image_size( ‘thumb-large’, 720, 340, true );
 * my test website location is here: [http://66.147.244.233/~stjohnv8/](http://66.147.244.233/~stjohnv8/)
 * Any help is appreciated!!
