wp_constrain_dimensions() WordPress Function

The wp_constrain_dimensions() function is used to constrain the dimensions of an image. This is useful for ensuring that an image is not too large or too small for its intended purpose. The function takes two arguments: the width and height of the image. The function returns an array with the constrained width and height values.

wp_constrain_dimensions( int $current_width, int $current_height, int $max_width, int $max_height ) #

Calculates the new dimensions for a down-sampled image.


Description

If either width or height are empty, no constraint is applied on that dimension.

Parameters

$current_width

(int)(Required)Current width of the image.

$current_height

(int)(Required)Current height of the image.

$max_width

(int)(Optional) Max width in pixels to constrain to. Default 0.

$max_height

(int)(Optional) Max height in pixels to constrain to. Default 0.

Return

(int[]) An array of width and height values.

  • (int) The width in pixels.
  • '1'
    (int) The height in pixels.

	 * Sometimes, due to rounding, we'll end up with a result like this:

	 * We also have issues with recursive calls resulting in an ever-changing result.
	 * Constraining to the result of a constraint should yield the original result.
	 * Thus we look for dimensions that are one pixel shy of the max value and bump them up.
