Change default crop origin of a featured image in Wordpress (thumbnail)

I would like to change the way Wordpress crops the featured images thumbnail. The generated thumbnails are cropped from the center. Can I control that to set up to top left ? This post mentions a plugin, but it doesen't really exists :3 And the Scissors plugin seams not to affect featured image thumbnail.

Any idea ?

Solution

  • It is not good idea to modify the core of Wordpress. You can use the plugin Thumbnail Crop Position to select a corner or the center point of the image from where the image will be cropped.
