WP is resizing images that I upload to posts

    Hi All,
    I hope there’s a simple solution to this. I’m guessing there is—andit’s just something I’ve missed. Can’t find it in these forums.

    When I upload 900 px wide images and choose to place them ‘full size’ into my posts, they end up smaller. And it’s not to do with responsive CSS or anything.

    In the linked page, you can see them in the post itself. I’m using Jetpack, and Comic Press theme and Comic Easel plug-in.

    Thanks for reading ??

    Here’s the resulting HTML:

    <div id="attachment_3308" style="max-width: 910px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-attachment-id="3308" data-permalink="https://starwarsage9.com/comic/get-closer-to-big-one/detail_37_falcon/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/starwarsage9.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/detail_37_falcon.jpg?fit=900%2C428" data-orig-size="900,428" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="detail_37_falcon" data-image-description="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/starwarsage9.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/detail_37_falcon.jpg?fit=300%2C143" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/starwarsage9.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/detail_37_falcon.jpg?fit=500%2C238" class="wp-image-3308 size-full" src="https://i0.wp.com/starwarsage9.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/detail_37_falcon.jpg?resize=500%2C238" alt="millennium falcon dives into the asteroid cave explosions star wars comic page detail" width="500" height="238" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/starwarsage9.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/detail_37_falcon.jpg?w=900 900w, https://i0.wp.com/starwarsage9.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/detail_37_falcon.jpg?resize=300%2C143 300w, https://i0.wp.com/starwarsage9.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/detail_37_falcon.jpg?resize=768%2C365 768w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" data-recalc-dims="1" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Spectacluar spit-smudged marker!

    Your theme allows only 556 pixels in the content area where you’re posting the comic. If you want the image bigger, you’ll have to tweak the theme’s CSS to make that space wider.

    Hi Steve,
    That column has between 706 or 716 pixels width available.

    The container inside that column for the images — div id=”attachement” — has 700 pixels width avaialable, and only 3 px of padding.

    So, I don’t understand why WP has squashed the image when there’s about 200px more horizontal space for it to expand into.

    OK, I have the solution! (arggh)

    The image is resized because I had ‘Serve images from our servers‘ switched on in Jetpack.

    As soon as I disabled this, the image went full size.

    That’s a great useful feature. Maybe it should look like this:

    Don’t squash images
    Jetpack will not resize your images downwards if you un-click this button.

    ??

    In fairness, it might be that this only ruins image display on non-responsive websites. Making my site responsive will be a huge job for another day.

    How tech instructions often look to me—with my luddite brain:

    ‘Don’t click this button off, if you’d prefer not to un-resize your images to a size that’s never not unlike the size that you originally didn’t want it to not be. Sometimes.’
