To crop thumbnail images in WordPress/PHP using custom code, you can use the following steps:
- Create a new PHP file in your WordPress theme’s
functions.php
file. - Add the following code to your PHP file:
PHP
function my_custom_crop_thumbnail($image_id, $width, $height, $crop) {
// Get the original image.
$original_image = wp_get_attachment_image_src($image_id, 'full');
// Create a new image and crop it to the desired dimensions.
$cropped_image = wp_get_image_editor($original_image[0]);
$cropped_image->crop($original_image[0], $width, $height, $crop);
// Save the cropped image.
$cropped_image->save($original_image[0]);
// Return the URL of the cropped image.
return $original_image[0];
}
This function takes four arguments:
$image_id
: The ID of the image to crop.$width
