Correctly sized featured image on blog/main page

[Naishster]

Hi guys,

I always use a featured image of dimension 450x450, but it always gets trimmed down to a smaller rectangle on the main page which lists the posts.

How can I change this so that the whole image shows next to the excerpt please?

Hi there,

Thanks for writing around! To fix the issue, please add the following code in the Theme Options > CSS:

.home .entry-featured .entry-thumb {
    padding-bottom: 100%;
}

Sometimes it can get a bit difficult to find out the right selector to be able to write the required CSS codes. A handy tool that can help you in this is Google Chrome dev tools. I am sharing the resource that you can refer to get started with dev tools.
