“Top Posts” Widget (Jetpack), image cropping

I believe you’re running into this issue:
https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/pull/6140

Until the problem is fixed in the next version of Jetpack, could you try to add the following to your theme’s functions.php file, or in a functionality plugin? That should solve the issue.

/**
 * Resize all Top Posts Images to 40x40px
 *
 * @param array $image_options Array of Image options.
 */
function jeherve_top_posts_images_size( $image_options ) {
	$image_options['avatar_size'] = 40;

	return $image_options;
}

Sorry for the trouble!

The functionality plugin I linked to above should make it a bit easier:

1. install and activate the plugin.
2. go to the new menu it created.
3. Create a new snippet.
4. Paste the code I posted above.
5. Save and activate the snippet.

That should be it!

Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot to paste one line of my code snippet! Try with this instead:

/**
 * Resize all Top Posts Images to 40x40px
 *
 * @param array $image_options Array of Image options.
 */
function jeherve_top_posts_images_size( $image_options ) {
	$image_options['avatar_size'] = 40;

	return $image_options;
}
add_filter( 'jetpack_top_posts_widget_image_options', 'jeherve_top_posts_images_size' );
