Default thumbnail on read more without script is 72px width and 72px height, and if you would like the thumbnail in different size, then you can change without or with pure JavaScript or you can also use jQuery.How To Change Post Thumbnail Size Without JavaScript / jQuery
The first way that we can do to change the thumbnail size of blogger post is using code from blogger, ie<img expr:src='data:post.thumbnailUrl'/>The thumbnail feature using code above actually is not a new thing in blogger, but recently blogger adds a little touch that can be used to resize post thumbnail by writing code / syntax template like this
resizeImage (url, size, ratio)As we already know that the default size of thumbnail post blogger is 72 x 72 pixels, and we want to turn it into a 300 x 300 pixels, then we can use this syntax
resizeImage (url, size, ratio) <img expr:src='resizeImage(data:post.thumbnailUrl, 300 , "2:1")'/> resizeImage (url, size) <img expr:src='resizeImage(data:post.thumbnailUrl, 300)'/> How To Change Thumbnail Size Using Pure JavaScript
To change the size of post thumbnail on the home page, label and archive then we can use the following JavaScript <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'> <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'> <script type='text/javascript'> //<![CDATA[ function resizeThumb(parentID, size) { var parent = document.getElementById(parentID), image = parent.getElementsByTagName('img'); for (var i = 0; i < image.length; i++) { image[i].src = image[i].src.replace(/\/s72\-c/, "/s" + size + "-c"); image[i].width = size; image[i].height = size; } } resizeThumb('main-wrapper', 200); //]]> </script> </b:if> </b:if> </ body> or </head>The part that we must note in the script above is this
resizeThumb ( 'main-wrapper', 200);main-wrapper is ID field posts, and 200 is a new thumbnail size. The code above will change the thumbnail size of 72 × 72 pixels to 200 × 200 pixels.If the ID column of the post is a
post-wrapper and you wanted to change the thumbnail to be 300 x 300 pixels, so you have to change the code becomes like thisresizeThumb ( 'post-wrapper',300);
How To Change Thumbnail Size Using jQuery
To change the thumbnail size using jQuery, the first step is we have to add the jQuery Library on blogger template, the ways:On blogger template editor page please add following jQuery Library before code
</ head> or </ body>. The jQuery Library script is:<script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js/'>If your blogger template already has jQuery Library then you don't need to add the jQuery script above anymore, and please go to the next step.
Once your template has jQuery Library script please add the following code before
</ body> <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'> <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'> <script type='text/javascript'> //<![CDATA[ function resizeThumb(el, from, to) { $(el).each(function() { $(this).attr({ 'src': $(this).attr('src').replace('/s'+from+'-c/', '/s'+to+'-c/'), 'width': to, 'height': to }); }); } $(function() { resizeThumb('.post-thumbnail', '72', '200'); }); //]]> </script> </b:if> </b:if> resizeThumb ('Information :.post-thumbnails', '72', '200');
.post-thumbnail: is selector thumbnail area, please replace with selector thumbnail area that corresponds to your template- 72: Was the original size of thumbnails (leave it alone)
200: Is a new size for the thumbnails, which means from 72 pixels to 200 pixels changed. Please change as desired.

posts_no_thumb_sum = 490; → number 490 is a value that specifies the number of characters of text (summary) if the post does not have picturesposts_thumb_sum = 400; → number 400 is a value that specifies the number of characters of text (summary) if the post has no imageimg_thumb_height = 160; → 160 is a high-value size imageimg_thumb_width = 180; → 180 is the value of the size of the image width
