img width and height attributes being set by get_the_post_thumbnail

Question

I'm working on a custom theme that I've inherited to maintain. At the top of the homepage there is a header area with some images generated by get_the_post_thumbnail. The call to get_the_post_thumbnail outputs img objects that are set to a specific width/height by their html attributes. Here's the code and output:

Inside a loop

<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $id, array( 300, 300 ) ); ?>

Html output

<img width="215" height="93" src="[img filepath]" class="attachment-300x300 wp-post-image" alt="[img name]" title="[img name]">

I need to reset the attribute height and width dimensions to something other than 215 x 93. I can't find anywhere this is being set (checked in wp-admin as well as functions.php as well as anywhere else where I thought it might be). I am also not finding any places where set_post_thumbnail_size is being called with these values. Can anyone tell me where to reset these values?

Thanks.

You can look at adding an image size to your themes functions.php file.

You then just need to do <?php the_post_thumbnail('image-size-name'); ?> and it will pull out the image based on the sizes you set.
