Responsive Images

  • Is it correct, that images only become responsive, when I upload them via desktop to the media backend? When I want to insert an image via URL or when I use the WP iPhone app to add a picture to a post – no matter what settings I use for size or alignments, the image won’t be responsive.

    If not, what am I doing wrong?

  • Hey there,

    That doesn’t sound correct.

    Do you have a link to the page where you’re facing that issue? I’ll take a closer look.

    Thanks. For example this older psot with images hosted elsewhere: https://drikkes.com/?p=12677

    Posts with images uploaded via the WP app do not exist, because I deleted the pics and inserted them via web on the desktop again.

    It looks like those images are being served via Jetpack’s CDN, which is adding a size via that image link.

    You may need to disable the image accelerator as seen here: https://jetpack.com/support/site-accelerator/#how-to-activate-the-site-accelerator

    This image link may be cached by CDN temporarily.

    Hi, I disabled both – the site accelerator (so image & static file load times not speeding up) and the lazy loading for images – but the problem persists, as you can see in my newest post.

    Even more strange: I have no idea, how the photo in that post ended up there being square format – the original you can see here:

    Hello there,

    Hmm, I wonder if there’s something odd happening with your site (also going by the other thread regarding the sup styling the editor).

    Some things I’ve noticed here:

    1. The image being used on the site, looks to be: https://drikkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/0ee716954d594eb8b2a7bd4139877ded.jpg – which is 600px by 600px.
    2. It looks like the image is still loading via a lazy loading and the container look’s odd when inspecting via a console.

    How are you creating and uploading content exactly? Are you building this outside of WordPress and copying it in?

    Also, where is the site hosted exactly?

    I’m wondering if we can kill two birds with one stone here… ??

    Indeed something is not right with my site. Normally I write directly in the WP backend (html view, classic editor), sometimes I use a markdown to write and copy to WP then, but I usually insert media and embeds last. Rarely I use WP’s iPhone, lately for testing. And now I see this:

    While in my desktop backend, this draft looks like this:

    The error happens at my static homepage as well:

    I checked Jetpack again and the CDN really is disabled. My site uses a German hosting service for years, never had problems with it. https://www.df.eu/de/ But with switching to this new Loudness theme, Indieweb plugins don’t work properly: I have problems with IndieAuth, Webmintions, Micropub etc… The site does not work well with the Fediverse.
