: May I use custom images in a wordpress theme (not mine)? My blog is powered by Altervista on the ComicPress theme. I may customize my website for I purchased the second level domain (.com).

My blog is powered by Altervista on the ComicPress theme.

I may customize my website for I purchased the second level domain (.com).

I'm trying to post bigger images by following the tutorial below->

on how using custom images in a theme

Something went wrong, since I copypasted the code and I get the following:


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in
/membri/thekrumbs/wp-content/themes/comicpress/functions.php on line
40


I copy/pasted the code below, just as I edited it in the functions.php file (see the first part)->

<?php

add_action('after_setup_theme', 'comicpress_setup');

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'setup' );
function setup() {
// ...

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' ); // This feature enables post-thumbnail support for a theme
// To enable only for posts:
//add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post' ) );
// To enable only for posts and custom post types:
//add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post', 'movie' ) );

// Register a new image size.
// This means that WordPress will create a copy of the post image with the specified dimensions
// when you upload a new image. Register as many as needed.
// Adding custom image sizes (name, width, height, crop)
add_image_size( 'featured-image', 620, 200, true );


add_image_size( 'header', 600, 200, true ); // header image
add_image_size( 'custom-size1', 400, 200 ); // 400 pixel wide and 200 p
add_image_size( 'custom-size2', 400, 200, true ); // 400 pixel wide and 200 pixel tall, cropped

// ...

}


add_filter( 'image_size_names_choose', 'custom_image_sizes_choose' );
function custom_image_sizes_choose( $sizes ) {
$custom_sizes = array(
'featured-image' => 'Featured Image'
);
return array_merge( $sizes, $custom_sizes );
}


<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail()):
the_post_thumbnail( 'featured-image', array( 'class' => 'featured-image' ) );
endif;

Now I edited the file as it come originally and I may access my site again, but I wonder why I got such error, because of some issues in the syntax or because I'm on a pre-configured theme, so I would ask:

May I customize someone else's theme completely and modify files for using custom images?
