Title: Post width Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Post width * [Carolinka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carolinka/) * (@carolinka) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-width-5/) * Hi! A rather specific question: I used to have a custom width of 800px on my blog before, so most of my photos are published as 800px when horizontal or 400 +400px when vertical – on Fortunato, the horizontal photos of 800px width look right, but I can’t seem to get two 400px photos next to each other without one jumping over to next row. What could be the reason for this and how do I solve it? * Thanks for a beautiful theme! * (Oh, and adjustable header size is also something I would be happy to pay for in an upgrade, please fix!)

` like `

`. Just write normally and WP will automatically wrap block of text into `

` tag and we can control its style in stylesheet. * Also, avoid hotlink image one by one from flickr. What would happen if flickr change url pattern? hundred or thousand of images in the blog will be missing. * Upload images to WP via post editor will attach image to that particular post, so we can manage images for that post. For post that has lots of images, pick like 5 or 10 best shots to use in the post and then make a text link to the album in flickr. * **How to use image in post** [https://codex.wordpress.org/Inserting_Images_into_Posts_and_Pages](https://codex.wordpress.org/Inserting_Images_into_Posts_and_Pages) * Thread Starter [Carolinka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carolinka/) * (@carolinka) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-width-5/#post-6257926) * Hi! * Thanks for getting back so fast – it’s a bit complicated – I’ve been using Flickr to store my photos and linked back from the posts since 2009 and want to continue doing so (they haven’t changed their url pattern and I would be surprised if they did) since this doesn’t affect my storage space and I have all my photos( 11thousand) in one place. Uploading photos to both flickr & wordpress won’t be an option since I’m too often in places with ridiculous bandwidth. * How many photos I choose to post on each post is really not relevant. What I want to know is why if I make the photos 390px it’s all right, but 400 each won’t fit next to each other – even though ONE photo of 800px is no problem. Where can I adjust this post width limitation since many hundreds of previous posts have this set up? * Again – the question is not about addressing future posts and giving me alternative options to how to upload photos – it’s about making sure all my old posts display correctly. * (I really don’t like the WP gallery, sorry, it still has a loooong way to go before it gains my trust) Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) The topic ‘Post width’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/fortunato/2.2.9/screenshot.png) * Fortunato * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/fortunato/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/fortunato/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/fortunato/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/fortunato/reviews/) * 3 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Carolinka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carolinka/) * Last activity: [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-width-5/#post-6257926) * Status: not resolved
