Image Size Issues

    I keep trying to edit the featured images to adjust the aspect ratio, which I’ve read on here that 3:2 is best. However when I go in to do that, there’s not a way for me to save the changes I’m making. The save button isn’t highlighted, so now my slider pictures at the top of my page are huge and the featured images below that are all different shapes, depending on if it’s landscape or portrait.

    How do you recommend handling the discrepancy between the landscape/portrait pictures?

    How do I adjust the aspect ratio so my photos are uniform on the main page (not necessarily on the actual blog post)

    Is the featured image always going to be the first image posted into the blog post? Like when I click through to the muesli post, it shows the featured image first before the blog post as it was originally written on my last theme.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi there,

    Thank you for getting in touch with us.

    Could you please send us the screenshot of this not highlighted save button? Do you mean Save button in Customizer or the button in Media Library?

    There’s no way to align images in portrait and landscape mode. Please use images in landscape mode as your featured images or crop them in Image Editor. The other images on your post content don’t have to be in landscape mode or have any special size but featured image should have the same size to align properly. Featured image can be added to “Featured Image” section on Post (see this screenshot: http://prntscr.com/hnzk0r) and shows as the first image below post title.

    Thank you for your time in this.

    Best regards

    https://ibb.co/mBqqem When I go to edit the image for the featured image, it won’t let me adjust it. As a result, it’s HUGE when it’s on the front page in the slider menu as seen here in comparison to the other posts (https://ibb.co/mOnQC6 vs
    https://ibb.co/iug7QR)

    And then this is what the recent posts/featured posts section looks like:

    Would I need to upload a separate cropped image as the featured image and then hide that in the post? When I selected a feature image for some of the posts, it reposted the image as the first image that appears in the post and it’s a different size than the rest of the pictures that already existed there. Is this an issue because I had created these posts on my old WP theme?

    I’m also having some weird text wrapping issues that adding spaces doesn’t seem to be helping with:

    Depending on how I expand the screen depends on if the text appears “correctly” or wonky and to the side.

    Hi again,

    Here is great article on cropping images in WordPress: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/crop-image-wordpress/

    The best way would be to add separate image as featured image and don’t add it to post to avoid repetition and different sizes.

    Text wrapping issue is most likely caused by “Alignment” setting in Insert media window. Please change “Alignment” to none which move down your text (see this screenshot: http://prntscr.com/ho9q6d).

    Best

    Thank you for your help – I realized that my wrapping issue was due to the photos being compressed awhile ago after transferring from blogspot.

    I’m having a minor issue now with featured images. I read on another thread that you recommend a 3×2 featured image but when I go into the image editor and select the 3×2 alignment, some photos have edited to the correct same size and others are slightly bigger.

    Is there an easier way to make sure that all featured images are the same size other than go through each post and edit each individual featured image?

    Hi there,

    Unfortunately the only way to crop the image and get correct size is by editing individual image.

    Do you have advice or insight as to why the pictures end up different sizes when using the same aspect ratio?

    @confectionarytales Are you using the Jetpack image optimization service by any chance? https://jetpack.com/support/photon/ If we can see the actual website URL, we may be able to figure this out for you.
