Hi,

I am switching over to the DAWN theme and got everything figured out except how to change the Blog Post featured image ratio on the homepage card and also on the main blog. My images are 4:5 but they are all 2:3 and I can’t find where to change it. Help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Erika

I too would like to change my Dawn Theme in Shopify to have different aspect ratio for the featured blog image, instead of a 2:3 I’d like them to be square, 1:1 if possible? Most of the blog’s featured images are square. Is there a place in the Dawn Theme code where this can be changed? Thanks!
