Absolum is shrinking images in posts

I’m having a similar problem Have you tried switching to default theme?

If you look in text view, what are the image dimensions ? Try removing height and width in code view.

@rustwalker, can you add your images back into that page?

Jefferrisp7 – I don’t want to use the default theme though, and I don’t want to lose the work that I have done with the theme Absolum. The image dimensions are 300 x 157 and 300 x 160. Not sure why they are slightly different in size. In code view one of the images states the following:

<img class=”alignleft” alt=”postapocalypse” src=”https://www.rustwalker.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/postapocalypse-300×157.png&#8221; width=”300″ height=”157″ />
It is showing that the image it is referencing is actually being named to postapocalypse-300×157.png, the name of the original file is actually postapocalypse.png, does this mean that the image is possibly being resized and automatically renamed during the upload media process?

What would I remove from this?

Andrew Nevins – Not sure what you mean, both images are still on that page. Do you mean delete them and re-upload?

Ok, thanks Jefferisp7, your information helped a great deal.

I realized that the code just prior to the image file was showing that the original image existed:

a href=”https://www.rustwalker.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/postapocalypse.png&#8221;

I then went into my media panel in the dashboard and opened the original image which was showing as the correct size.

I then replaced the second url in the code removing the -300×157 addition to the picture title. I also removed the width=”300″ height=”157″ code.

The picture is now appearing the proper size, but this also means I will have to edit the code for every picture that I upload which might become tedious.

Now my question is this, is there a way to remove this code that automatically shrinks the original image and references the smaller .png file? I would like it so that when I place an image into a page or post that it automatically references the larger image, without having to edit the code manually.

Thanks!

Sorry, I’m not an expert. Just discovering other people are having image troubles as well with 3.8
I’ve had to do this manually for each image so far, however I may have found a solution

I just did a test upload and got the right image data. But I removed SuperCache first.
I think that may fix it, but did you do a bulk upload drag and drop? I did for my original images, and am wondering if a bulk upload is part of the problem.

Also got this message:

Dear User,

WP Super Cache was removed from your blog but the mod_rewrite rules
in your .htaccess were not.

Please edit the following file and remove the code
between ‘BEGIN WPSuperCache’ and ‘END WPSuperCache’. Please backup the file first!

/usr/home/igota/public_html/SITENAME//.htaccess

BTW, I suggested reverting to default theme just to test your setup. You won’t lose your stuff. You can just switch back to your created theme when you want. I found though that it did not help fix my image problems. It isn’t the theme. It is something else.

Hi there..I have Absolum 1.1.5.

I am pretty new to Wp, and I would greatly appreciate someone telling me exactly where I need to go to make the image larger please.

Thanks in advance for your help.
