Images in Posts resized after 5.9 Upgrade

  • Hey there dear WordPress community,

    This is my first post in this forum, so please forgive if I placed the topic in the wrong section.

    I have a major issue after upgrading to 5.9 regarding the layout of my website. All embedded images in posts and on pages were automatically resized and now appear smaller than before. I looked up several articles online about problems with image sizes after wordpress upgrades, tried to insert suggested CSS codes, change the default size in the basic settings and downgrade to an older wp version but nothing is working. It seems that a certain code is overwriting the pre-set picture size and I seem unable to locate it.

    I used the Classic Editor for creating most content since I don’t like the Block Editor. Within the Classic Editor mask, the pictures still have the size I dragged them into when creating the content. But the size doesn’t apply on the site.

    I linked a post example below. The first image embedded (not the feature image) already shows the problem. The width of the image description is way larger than the actual image and gives an idea of how large the picture originally was. Can you please help me out?

    Thank you and kind regards,

    Miriam

    You can try Resize Image After Upload WP plugin to automatically resizes images (JPEG, GIF, and PNG) when they are uploaded.

    If not plugin, try this code. Place it in functions.php:

    // keep WP from resizing images 
add_filter( 'big_image_size_threshold', '__return_false' );

    Hey there t-p,

    Sorry for the late reply. I tried out your suggestions, but it didn’t work either. I found out the issue lies with custom sizes set for the pictures. Unfortunately have to resize all images manually now and will set them to large, so these issues hopefully might not occur again in future. Is quite the work with almost 300 posts, but well.
