Change Defaults for Image Alignment and Size in Posts

  • Is there a simple way to automatically set the default value of image alignment and image size when it’s uploaded.

    Currently every image upload defaults to left alignment and size-large. This means we need to change the settings to center-aligned and full size for every image uploaded.

    An alternative workaround/solution would be WordPress “remembering” the last used values for these settings. I believe the classic editor did this, but Gutenberg does not retain those settings.

  • Hello Babysavers,

    Thanks for the question about the default values for image alignment and image size when it’s uploaded. This setting is normally a part of the theme that you are using. Basically, it’s the post or page where the image alignment and size is set when you add an image. When WordPress uploads an image, it automatically generates 3 sizes for the image. You can find the default size settings for media in the WordPress settings section. And you can also go into CSS to do more fine tuning. For more information on custom CSS, please see the WordPress Codex CSS article.

    I also did explore the re-usable block settings in the Gutenberg editor, but as soon as you make an image block into a reusable block, the image settings go away. So, not useful. Anyways, my suggestion at this point would be to find a plugin, or speak with the theme developer. They can easily tell you how to change the default image settings when you add an image to a post or page.

    Hope this helps!

    Kindest regards,
