Image focal point

WordPress plugin to select a focal point for images in your media library

Installation

Upload the plugin folder to the plugins directory, and activate on the plugins page.

Usage

In your theme, get the focal point position by calling get_post_meta with your attachment’s $id:

<?php
  $x = get_post_meta($attachmentId, "x", true);
  $y = get_post_meta($attachmentId, "y", true);
?>

The values returned are percentages from the left and top edges of the image, so you can use them in object-position or background-position:

<?php
  $focalpoint = "${x}% ${y}%";
  …
?>

<img style="object-position:<?php echo $focalpoint ?>">
