I take many photos that come out great of landscapes and single people. I have a Canon t3i and every time I take a photo the person close to me comes out great, the person host behind comes out blurry no matter what I do

Welcome to UHH. From what you wrote I am going guess you have a problem with Depth Of Field. Google it and you will find many great articles, videos and tips that should help. Posting your photos here with your equipment and settings helps too.

Basically, the smaller the lens opening, the more will be in focus, front to rear.

Yes, Your issue is depth of field.
There are FAQ's here on this site or you can google it.
Depth of field is a product of: distance to subject, focal length of lens, f/stop value.
You can work it out in advance using the online depth of field calculator;

And there are also android phone apps that do the same thing.

Your camera probably has a depth of field button, so you can see how focus will change when the shutter clicks.

It's not better or worse, they just produce different effects.
If you want more depth of field, you need to (generally speaking) use shorter lenses coupled with smaller apertures and/or more distance to subject:
What lens are you using?
How far are you from your subject?

I would think that you have selected the auto focus point as the center point. If you select more focal point then it should solve the problem. My best guess.

Trust me. This isn't it.
What lenses are you using and how far away are you from the subject?
