Overview

Select the crop position of your thumbnails. WordPress crops thumbnails of images through the center, which does not always give us the desired results. This plugin allows you to select the crop position of images from WordPress uploader.

Only works in browser uploader, and only sometimes
by virtre·8 years ago

Came bundled with a theme but only works in browser uploader, not in drag-and-drop multi-file uploader. Even then often does not work so it is quicker and more certain to just edit thumbnails by hand individually.

Very useful
by genepine·9 years ago

It’s very useful plugin.
I always settting to “top center”.
Usage notes
It seems that it is not set in the media library.

Changelog

1.3

This update were made by Grégory Viguier (ScreenfeedFr). Thanks Grégory.

  • The PHP class is now in a separated file, so it is included only in the administration pages (and removed the create_function(), bad for the php cache).
  • Globally, use a more “WordPress way” for some parts of the code.
  • SECURITY: better sanitization of the option, check user capability, and add a nonce for the ajax call.
  • Minify css, js and images (js and css dev. versions still presents).
  • HTML: remove useless divs, adjust some classes.
