[Theme: Twenty Eleven] How to keep 2011 theme from auto scaling?

Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues.

For this reason, it is recommended that you consider creating a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

Thanks Esmi,

I am working with a child theme of 2011, sorry I should have stated this.

However, my child theme is auto scaling and I would like this not to happen.

I would venture a guess that if you changed the max-width here to just width

#page {
	margin: 2em auto;
	max-width: 1000px;
}

nothing would scale…

Thanks Rev. Voodoo, exactly what I needed.

Thanks,
~Chris

Alternative ways that don’t involve messing about with the master theme:

Place inline CSS in your image tags:
<img src="..." style="min-width:495px;" />

If you want scrolling overflows, place your image inside a <div>:
<div style="width:100%;overflow-x:scroll;"><img ...></div>

If you want your image to scale vertically and maintain aspect ratio, consider using “%” measurements for height.
