Just migrated to Foodica from a different theme? We highly recommend regenerating thumbnails. This process will ensure all your images are cropped at the right size.
Featured Images should always be uploaded at 1200x1200px. For better quality on devices with retina display, you can try a larger size like 1500x1500px or 2000x2000px
You don’t have to crop your images to this exact size, but simply make sure that both dimensions have at least 1200px. For example, a portrait-oriented image can be 1200x2000px.
Homepage Slider: 750x500px (retina: 1500x1000px)
Homepage Slider (transparent style): 1140x500px (retina: 2280x1000px)
Post thumbnail (landscape): 360x240px (retina: 720x480px)
Post thumbnail (portrait): 360x540px (retina: 720x1080px)
Single Post Image at the top: 750x500px (same as Homepage Slider)
