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.
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.
It’s very useful plugin.
I always settting to “top center”.
Usage notes
