Overview
What is it?
A fantastic new plugin that helps you control how WordPress generates thumbnails.
Why use it?
When WordPress automatically generates thumbnails, it sometimes doesn’t crop them in a way that is suitable for the image you’ve uploaded. If your image isn’t the correct format, and let’s face it, you never know what images people are uploading – you’ll run the risk of a badly cropped image. Not good.

Habe es zwar nicht ausgiebig getestet, aber es läuft immer noch wie zuvor unter WordPress 5.4 (Stand 25.4.2020). Ich verwende immer den Hotspot, um einen individuellen Fokus zu setzen.
Sehr nützliches PlugIn.

I’ve installed this on a number of client sites with great results. There are now almost no complaints about mis-cropped faces.
