Images in the Twenty Fourteen theme

1. Well, that was… interesting. In a nutshell there seem to be two things in play here:

   • max_posts set to 6 in add_theme_support( 'featured-content'
   • quantity set to default 6 in Featured_Content class

   quantity defines how many posts there are, but can be no larger than max_posts. However while result can be pushed down by changing max_posts it cannot be pushed up since there doesn’t seem to be clean way provided for changing quantity. If I read code accurately it was either meant to be input in Customizer or was there and got removed.

   So to change both, this is closest to sane I could come up with on Sunday evening:

   add_action(
           'after_setup_theme',
           function () {
               add_theme_support(
                       'featured-content',
                       array(
                               'featured_content_filter' => 'twentyfourteen_get_featured_posts',
                               'max_posts'               => 8,
                       )
               );
           },
           11
   );
   
   add_filter(
           'option_featured-content',
           function ( $array ) {
               if ( ! empty( $array ) && is_array( $array ) ) {
                   $array['quantity'] = 8;
               }
   
               return $array;
           }
   );
   

   Note that posts set is cached in transient, so need to re-save it with Customizer for new count to apply.

   As for size – thumbnail size is used for grid version of it, see content-featured-post.php.

2. The two image sizes are defined in the theme’s functions.php file:

   set_post_thumbnail_size( 672, 372, true );
   add_image_size( 'twentyfourteen-full-width', 1038, 576, true );
   

3. Add your own custom sizes or modify the values for the existing sizes.

   You can use this code which includes a parameter to hard crop your images in different positions:

   add_image_size( 'custom-size', 220, 220, array( 'left', 'top' ) ); // Hard crop left top
