Thumbnails Appearing Huge

    Not sure if this is a consequence of the 6.0 upgrade since I only post these images once a month, but in my dashboard, all the book covers in the post are thumbnail size. When I published, the images were large/full-size. I’ve not changed anything on my end, other than updating the site and plug-ins.

  • Hi @castfalk!

    The issue would be that the images look bigger than they should, correct? Could you please point to a specific image and confirm what the correct size should be?

    Additionally, do you also see a discrepancy between the size of these images in your dashboard (the editor) and on the public website? If so, could you please share a link to a screenshot illustrating how these images look in your dashboard (the editor)?.

    Yes, the images appear larger than they should.

    On this page, for example, the images of the titles John Eyre and A Crumby Way to Die. On my dashboard, I’ve selected the thumbnail image size, which is how they appear. (https://www.carolynastfalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Screen-Shot-2022-06-02-at-8.19.52-AM.png)

    On the live page, they appear as I’d suspect they would if I’d selected large or full-size.

    Thanks.

    Thank you for the additional details @castfalk. It sounds like something is not quite working when it comes to your site’s image widths. This could be coming from a number of places.

    To narrow the issue down, my first suggestion would be to review your plugin list and deactivate any plugins that might be connected to image sizes.

    My second suggestion would be to try adjusting the width of your images manually, as illustrated in this video:

    Finally, if the above does not work, we can work around this by adding a little custom CSS code:

    
.postid-13839 .entry-content img {
  max-width:200px;
}

    You can add this code in your “Additional CSS” tab (under Appearance > Customize), in a new line, under any existing code, and make sure you click on “Save Changes” to save it. This code is targeted only to affect this specific post, but we could tweak it if you need it to work on other posts or pages too.

    You can change the number 200px to something bigger or smaller depending on your own preference.

    I hope that helps!

    Deactivating the only image-related plug-in I found didn’t help, but I was able to shrink the image sizes to 75%. That makes them a little smaller than the thumbnails I’d been using, but not by too much.

    Thanks for the suggestions!
