Featured Image

The Breaker website relies heavily on the ‘Featured Image’ option in WordPress and wherever you see images on the homepage, these are all defined by the ‘Author’ of the ‘Post’ during setup. It is the responsibility of you as the ‘Author’ of the ‘Post’ to source images, whether taken yourself or copyright free, for use in your articles.

 

 

 
Featured images shouldn’t be larger than 1920px wide and always need to be Saved for the Web before uploading. All featured Images should be Landscape in orientation and not Portrait.
