I've made a custom widget which shows thumbs of my latest videos. These thumbs are set to be 300px wide, which is the same width of my sidebar.

My problem is that i also want to be able to use it in my footer where the width of widgets are only 220px wide.

So basically what i want to do is: if the widget is shown in the sidebar use <?php the_post_thumbnail('media-thumb-sidebar'); ?>and if the widget is used in the footer use <?php the_post_thumbnail('media-thumb-footer'); ?>

Anyone know how i could do this? Thanks :)

    Why not just use css to control the size of the thumbnails and the div ? You can have different styles on the widget for example; #sidebar .widget{width:300px;} #footer .widget{width:220px;} and obviously add styles to the img tag

  • Well i'm using the built in WP function "featured image" to show the thumbs, so wouldn't i have to make some kind of if statement to change the size of the thumb depending on if it's in footer or sidebar?

you can always get the thumbnail, but size it with CSS as Xavier mentioned.
