About this Plugin
WP SmartCrop allows you to set the ‘focal point’ of any image, right from the media library, then crops your images to match your css rules (no more squished aspect ratios), keeping that focal point, not only in view, but as near as possible to a ‘rule of thirds’ position in the image. The results are powerful, composed photos at any screen size, with any constraints.
Static WordPress Challenge
Image markup and assets should export normally, but verify that the generated image URLs and enqueued JavaScript assets are included in the static export. Any image-processing or dynamically generated crop requests that require live WordPress/PHP will need a managed origin or pre-generated image derivatives.
