Oxygen theme image issues

  • Hi all,

    I’m new to WordPress and just began using Oxygen. I’m trying to insert photos into my blog but they keep getting cut off on the homepage. For example my first blog post
    looks fine, until I go to the homepage and my photo is cut off.

    I’ve tried resizing and changing the alignment but nothing helps. Can someone help me?

    My blog is sarahbama.com

    TO clarify, I’ve read that the image size in posts should be ~470×324. Unfortunately when I resize my images to that size they are blurry. Is there anyway to get around this?

    This is because of your theme (oxygen)
    On home page it displays all images of size 470*14px. This cuts off the image.

    For this you need to edit your theme’s ‘index.php’ file.
    While in admin panel Go To
    Appearance>Editor
    on right top in “Select theme to edit: “
    choose “oxygen”
    from right-list of files choose ‘index.php’

    on nearly line 44 you will find this:

    get_the_image( array( 'meta_key' => 'Thumbnail', 'size' => 'archive-thumbnail', 'image_class' => 'featured', 'width' => 470, 'height' => 140, 'default_image' => get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/archive-thumbnail-placeholder.gif' ) );}

    You can edit the values of height and width in this code.

    Note: this may disturb the rest of the design of your theme. If it happen then change the values back to 470 and 140.

    Hi Sher,

    Does that mean I need to be using www.ads-software.com software instead of wordpress.com?

    Because I’m not seeing the Editor anywhere

    Sorry, you are on wordpress.com. I did not realized this.

    Probably on wordpress.com you cannot edit your theme.
    You may make little changes in Appearance>Custom design.
    But I think you need to upgrade to use this option.

    Support forums for wordpress.com are here:

    The best solution to your problem can be choosing another theme.

    Hi Sher, I did this, went into index.php and changed height and width values, but it still appears exactly the same: https://www.hopereese.com. Can you help??

    @hreese – please start a new thread per the forum guidelines. For Oxygen theme, you can do so here:
