‘Post-thumbnails’ feature does not seem to register

Image sizes and cropping settings do not apply retroactively: images that were present on your site before you made this change are not affected.

Your new settings will only apply to images you upload afterwards, because image are cropped at the time of uploading.

You can either try to upload a new image, or you can trigger the re-cropping of previously uploaded images to apply your new settings with the very handy Regenerate thumbnails plugin.
