[SOLVED] Wordpress different featured image size for different post types

Wordpress different featured image size for different post types

You can enable featured images for posts and set their size by using the following code in your function.php file:

add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');
set_post_thumbnail_size(107, 69, true);

but this sets the image size globally for any post types. Im using wordpress 3.0 and have created my own custom post type. Is it possible to apply a different featured thumbnail sizes for different post types?

Thanks

Solution

In your theme functions file, you can define new image sizes that apply to any images uploaded from then forward:

add_image_size('new-thumbnail-size',600,340, true)

Once you've defined a new image size, you can use the_post_thumbnail as usual but include the new image size to display that instead of the thumbnail default:

the_post_thumbnail( 'new-thumbnail-size' )
