Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

You can adjust this from your site backend > Easyblog > setting > layout > post cover , you can refer my attached screenshot below.

Thanks so far Arlex...I did see that menu option before and played around with the settings. I rechecked on different browsers and cleared the cache, but changing those parameters does not seem to change the post covers in any way. What I really need to adjust is the up and down position of most of these photos so the head of the people don't get cut off

You're most welcome, it depend on you whether want to crop that post cover, if you would like to crop it, then you have to set your height longer. (screenshot : https://monosnap.com/file/jVVvL8IioQFwd1r2BiBq5F9uIhWFDE )

Or you can try alignment to center without crop https://monosnap.com/file/Lso36LDbJaqemJrs5F5soU8BPP1fiG

Or you can Alignment to left as well in order to show the image properly.
