Great But Needs Improvement

By thall11 on November 8, 2022

I had to alter the plugin code slightly to allow it to work with custom sizes as well. It would also be nice if the smart crop dimensions weren't removed upon plugin deactivation, also, if the smart cropping functionality was behind a user role privilege check.

A small but significant improvement to WP

By Morten Ellegaard Larsen (ellegaarddk) on June 18, 2022

This function should be a core functionality! So when I found this little gem I was so happy.

Worked, but not in IE

By dragon013 on June 14, 2019

The plugins worked quite well, but not in IE 11. There it broke the site. Sadly I got no help with that from the developer. So I stopped using it. Another downside (but probably not solvable by a plugin): the preview of links on facebook and twitter is still the non edited one.

OUTSTANDING - this should be on everyone's must have plugin

By Dadarocks on March 22, 2019

Dont you hate it when you upload a picture to the featured image and its cropped completely wrong - like the focus of the picture isnt even the frame - THIS SOLVES that problem! Great plugin!

Intuitive, great plugin!!! works perfectly

Thank you for taking the time to create this awesome plugin for us.

Not working in WP 5

By leymannx on February 28, 2019

Seems really promising but I didn't got it working in WP 5.1.0. Neither WP Smart Crop v 2.0 (UI works, but output unchanged) nor 1.5. (UI doesn't work anymore, can't select focal point).

Not works as expected

By vessnaws on September 30, 2018

Supports only standard wordpress crops. Doesn't work with custom theme's crops

No more cropping by hand

By odamfm (odam.fm) on May 28, 2018

Time saving plugin, no more cropping by hand to get same height images. Great work!

I can't believe this isn't a core feature!

By dwallace31 on September 3, 2016

I've only been using WP SmartCrop for a couple of days, but I'm already a complete convert! I can finally stop cropping photos by hand before using them with a post. I just upload them and choose a focus, and they suddenly look good on every screen.

It's like magic.

I'm definitely installing this plugin on every site I build from now on.
