I need to upload images with a different orientation (portrait and landscape) and I don't want to crop post-thumbnails. But I need always thumbnail size 250x250px.

If I upload a portrait oriented image - it will be resized to 250px height, but the width may be different. And conversely - if I load landscape oriented image - it will be resized to 250px width, but height will be set proportional.

This is what I need:

I need thumbnail size to be always 250x250px. If I upload portrait image - it must be resized to height: 250px and placed in the center of thumbnail canvas. etc...

  • Is this the built in thumbnail size? Do you have the "Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions" box checked under Settings > Media?

  • So when you say "I need thumbnail size to be always 250x250px", you mean proportional within a maximum of 250x250?

  • object-fit: contain or background-size: contain might help if you did this from CSS. I also saw a image size hack a while back that might give you some ideas - codepad.co/snippet/hPniZA6n

I would try adding 

set_post_thumbnail_size( 250, 250, false );

In the theme's functions.php.

(see codex on Setting Thumbnail Size)
