featured image stretched

Can I turn off the featured image so it just displays a text excerpt. The images are stretched on this page but ok in the actual posts. I realize that you want the images a certain size and ratio but that's way to much hassle to go through with every post.

Thanks

Rory

 

You have to upload the Home page feature images of recommended size 170 px x 170px from the Home page feature settings panel
(Appearance -> Theme Options ->Home Page Feature Settings) in your dashboard. These feature image will display only in the home page and it is not the image of blog post.
If you want to remove this featured image then paste the following code in your custom css
Appearance -> Theme Options -> Styling Options -> Custom CSS

Code:

.feature_inner_box .circle {
display: none;
}
