Stop Divi from Cropping Feature Post Heights

The Divi Theme sets a maximum height on featured post images at 675px. If you upload an image taller than this it will be cropped. You can prevent this behavior by increasing the maximum height (to about 1000px) by adding the following filter to your functions.php file:

add_filter('et_theme_image_sizes', 'yourprefix_remove_featured_post_cropping');

function yourprefix_remove_featured_post_cropping($sizes) {
	if (isset($sizes['1080x675'])) { 
		unset($sizes['1080x675']); 
		$sizes['1080x9998'] = 'et-pb-post-main-image-fullwidth';
	}
	return $sizes; 
}

Please note that this only applies to images uploaded after the code is added, so you may need to re-upload any images that are currently being cropped.

  1. You have no idea how much I struggled to fix this.

    Same as Kassidi, simply pasted your code at the end of functions.php and worked like a charm. It even worked for the previous posts (although I only had 5 previous posts, this might be good news for someone)

    Again, thank you so much

  4. Hi, sorry if this is a rather newbie question but, can someone please inform what I should replace "yourprefix" with in this code? Is that the site url, or.. what exactly? Thanks!

    • Hey Eric, you can leave it as is, or change it to something of your choosing (avoid punctuation / spaces, and apply it consistently throughout). Basically, I use a different prefix when I write the code for my Divi Booster plugin and to avoid any conflicts between Divi Booster and code copied from my posts I change the prefix to "yourprefix". You may like to change it again to avoid the situation where another plugin, etc, uses my code unmodified but that shouldn't be too common. I hope that makes sense.
