Hi,
What do you mean by “the images morph?” How do the images morph?

they look like they are squished to fit into the circles, follow the link and look at the first post that should hopefully explain what i mean

Here’s your posts page: https://rebeccahoskisson.wordpress.com/blog/. This is the portfolio page: https://rebeccahoskisson.wordpress.com/portfolio/. Do the featured images “morph” in the circles of both the portfolio projects grid and the posts grid? The distortion of the first image in the portfolio page might be due to the dimensions of the image file, 700 x 233 pixels. That’s being squeezed into a circle (in which all points of the circumference are equidistant from the center).

they look like they are squished to fit into the circles

I don’t find any recommendations for the featured image dimensions in the theme guide, but I suspect that you might avoid extreme distortion by avoiding images in which the width far exceeds the height and vice versa. A ratio closer to 1:1 would be preferable.

No. They are derived from featured images, right?

That’s correct.

If you’d like more control over what’s displayed in the circle grid, I’d recommend that you upload a featured image for each post. You can edit your image in a graphics program first so it looks exactly how you’d like.
