Hi, Im using Image Slider for a directory brands. Now im using the crop function in the slider, but I want to crop the images horizonlally instead of vertically. Now, if I cropped the image is alway in vertical size. Is that possible to crop in horizontal way?
Thanks in advance

Hi, the image slider crop feature works best with images that have landscape orientation (see comments about cropping images you plan to use in the slider in our blog post here: https://toolset.com/2020/07/how-to-create-wordpress-sliders-for-static-and-dynamic-content/). If you include vertical (portrait) format images, the image slider crop feature tends to prioritize those orientations and crops horizontally as you have experienced. There is no option to adjust that crop orientation right now in the Block Editor. Another User reported this and requested the feature is added to Toolset Blocks:

I've added your vote to this feature request, but I don't have a timeline available for delivery of this feature. Until then, cropping will continue to behave as you have experienced. We suggest pre-cropping your images in landscape format for the best experience here until that feature is added to the software.
