# Phase 5 Plan 3: Logo Auto-Crop Summary

**Job logo image size registered for automatic 200x200px cropping on upload**

## Accomplishments

- Custom image size 'job-logo' registered with 200x200px hard crop
- WordPress automatically generates cropped version when logos uploaded
- Size accessible via wp_get_attachment_image() and wp_get_attachment_image_src()
- Elementor templates can use 'job-logo' size for consistent display

## Files Created/Modified

- `includes/class-post-types.php` - Added register_image_sizes() method with after_setup_theme hook

## Technical Details

### Image Size Registration

The `register_image_sizes()` method registers a custom image size:
- **Name:** 'job-logo'
- **Dimensions:** 200x200px (width, height)
- **Hard crop:** true (ensures square crop from center, no stretching)
- **Hook:** after_setup_theme (priority 10, standard WordPress timing)

### Integration Points

1. **ACF Integration** - The job_logo field (from Phase 01-03) returns attachment ID, enabling access to all registered image sizes
2. **Elementor Templates** - Can request 'job-logo' size in Loop Grid or Posts widgets for archive/detail pages
3. **WordPress Functions** - Accessible via:
   - `wp_get_attachment_image($logo_id, 'job-logo')`
   - `wp_get_attachment_image_src($logo_id, 'job-logo')`

## Decisions Made

1. **200x200px hard crop** - Ensures consistent square display regardless of upload dimensions. Prevents layout issues in Elementor templates caused by varying aspect ratios.

2. **after_setup_theme hook** - Standard WordPress timing for image size registration. Ensures size is available before WordPress processes image uploads.

3. **Size name 'job-logo'** - Descriptive name that clearly indicates purpose. Follows WordPress conventions (lowercase with hyphen separator).

## Commits

- Task 1: `c8b911b` - feat(05-03): register 200x200px cropped image size for job logos

## Verification

All verification criteria met:

- Image size 'job-logo' registered via add_image_size()
- Dimensions are 200x200px with hard crop enabled (true parameter)
- Hook registered for after_setup_theme action
- Method properly called from class initialization (register() method)

## Issues Encountered

None

## Next Step
