Thumbnail proportions in image galleries
-
Topic

Back to building an Akita site for an artist friend but I’m not sure if this is a WP or an Akita question. However, I’d appreciate a little advice.
Using WP Add Media > Create Gallery, we are constructing several image galleries to show off her paintings, which are either landscape, portrait or square.
In a gallery of landscape images (1000x500px) where all have the same proportions, the thumbnails on the page are landscape. Likewise, if the images are portrait, the thumbnails are displayed with portrait proportions. Symmetry and consistency all good so far!
However, we hit problems when the images in a gallery are of mixed proportions (some landscape, some portrait, etc.). The individual thumbnails match the proportions of the images themselves so some are portrait and some are landscape. Although the lightbox resizes to display the complete images, the thumbnail display doesn’t look great when images are mixed!.
Is there a way to force thumbnails to be displayed as squares, regardless of the individual image proportions (they would obviously be subject to cropping but that’s OK)?
Any help appreciated.
All the best…Rob
