Theme Blvd News Scroller Widget

This plugin is a simple widget with slider that rotates through posts of specified category.

<p>When using a theme with Theme Blvd Framework version 2.2+, this plugin allows you to change your theme’s image sizes.</p>
<h4>Who is this plugin for?</h4>
<p>This plugin is mainly designed for non-developers who want to alter the image sizes for their Theme Blvd theme, but do not have the necessary development knowledge to manually make the changes from their child theme.</p>
<h4>How does this plugin work?</h4>
<p>As in any WordPress theme, we setup the image sizes by using WordPress’s <em>add_image_size</em> function for each crop size. However, before these images are registered, the Theme Blvd framework applies a filter to an array of the sizes to be registered.</p>
<p>This allows for all of the image sizes of the theme to be easily filtered from your child theme or from a plugin… and this would be an example of a plugin that utilizes that. 🙂</p>
<h4>Do I have to use this plugin to change image sizes?</h4>
<p>Nope. In fact, if you understand the basics of PHP and the WordPress filters API, I would suggest that you do not use this plugin and instead, you manually make the changes from your child theme’s <em>functions.php</em>. Realistically, running this plugin requires extra resources on your server that can be avoided by just manually make the change you want from your child theme.</p>
<p>If you’d like to dive into a little development action, and accomplish the gist of what this plugin does, you’d simply do something like this from your child theme:</p>
<pre><code>function my_image_sizes( $sizes ) {
    $sizes['slider-large'] = array(
        'width' => '960', // Your new width
        'height' => '350' // Your new height
    );
    return $sizes;
}
add_filter( 'themeblvd_image_sizes', 'my_image_sizes' );
</code></pre>
