 * Hi – how do I get the content width (content & title) to match the same width
   as the thumbnail/thumbnail container? For example I have the thumbnail size set
   to 300px, however the content below is wider than the thumbnail container.
    Thanks
   Mark

 * Dear Mr Mark,
    The reason is your thumbnail’s width is smaller than 300px (Medium
   size is 300×300 but real width x height of generated image is depended on size
   of original image).
 * # Solution
    – set larger Featured image for post – or force to display thumbnail
   in full item size, by adding this CSS code to file style.css of your active theme:`.
   pt-cv-thumbnail {width: 100%}`

 * Hello – firstly thanks for the response! OK – so the image is not the problem,
   its 800px wide – reduced to 300px for the thumbnail. When I inspect the page,
   pt-cv-content and pv-cv-title are actually 358px, and the image is 300px wide–
   see [http://www.wildblighty.com](http://www.wildblighty.com) on desktop view (
   same on mobile). If I set the image to 100% as per your suggestion the image 
   pixelates as the width increase to 358px. Any further ideas here?

 * Actually I just set pt-cv-content and pv-cv-title to max-width: 300px and that
   did the trick (except for the portrait image which defaults to 200px).
 * Cheers
    Mark
