Managing and Customizing Image Sizes in Feedzy

Feedzy uses WordPress’s native functionalities to manage and resize images. When importing images, Feedzy relies on WordPress to handle the resizing process based on the predefined image sizes set in your WordPress installation.

📋 Understanding Image Import

When importing content via Feedzy, images are processed by WordPress, which applies its scaling mechanisms. By default, WordPress automatically resizes large images using the big_image_size_threshold hook. This ensures images are optimized for performance but may also impose a size limit (e.g., 1500x1500px).

Feedzy does not override this behavior or control how external platforms (e.g., Instagram) handle the imported images when shared further. WordPress's resizing ensures consistency with your site’s media settings.

⚙️ Customizing Image Dimensions

To control the size of imported images, you can:

1

Adjust WordPress Media Settings: Go to Settings > Media and define sizes for thumbnails, medium, and large images. Save changes and regenerate thumbnails if necessary using a plugin like "Regenerate Thumbnails."

2

Use WordPress Hooks: Developers can utilize the big_image_size_threshold hook to set custom size limits or disable automatic scaling. Learn more here.

3

Manually Resize Images: Before importing via Feedzy, resize images using an editor to meet specific platform requirements.

🛠 Troubleshooting Image Issues

If images appear cropped, stretched, or incorrectly sized when shared to external platforms:

• Verify WordPress Media settings to ensure appropriate sizes are defined.
• Use a WordPress plugin to regenerate image thumbnails for consistency.
• Check platform-specific image requirements (e.g., Instagram may limit dimensions to 1500x1500px).
• Apply a custom filter in WordPress to enforce specific image dimensions during import.
