    Hi,
    I’m having the same issue. I tried both the above fixes, but neither worked for me. I just switched to the Twenty Fifteen theme yesterday, and it’s displaying the images as small, clickable thumbnails, which is how the previous theme did it. I would really like to make the image fill the box as shown in the demo image. The image I’m using is 864 px wide. My WP version is 4.2.2. I’d appreciate the help if anyone has another suggestion!
    Thanks!

    Oh, right, sorry! Forgot that rather important bit of info…

    Once there, click on the book-shaped link to “Dei Umbra”. You’ll see what I mean.

    Hey, thanks for looking into my problem, “withatitude.”

    Since I couldn’t make ComicPress work for me, I gave the plug-in “Webcomic” another try. Whatever was causing my glitch appears to have something to do with ComicPress, or, more likely, the way ComicPress interacts with something on my site. Because Webcomic is working this time! When I tried it before, it came out all flush-left like everything else, and there were other issues with it as well. But this time around it seems to be working, so I’m just going to go with it. I don’t know what my problem was, but I’m happy to bypass it and call it solved.

    Again, thanks for giving it a look!

    I just went to Frumph’s site and found the names of most, or maybe all, of the plug-ins he recommends, that I had installed: Ajax thumbnail rebuild, Google Analyticator, Wordfence Security, and CP2CE (ComicPress th Comic Easel Migrator).

    When I originally installed ComicPress, I got all the plug-ins the theme’s creator recommended for use with it. This included Comic Easel, Jetpack, six or eight others I’ve forgotten the names of. I have none of those now. I just got a fresh install of WP, and the only plug-ins I have now are Akismet and some re-occurring wierd thing called “Hello Dolly” which I’ve deleted before but it keeps coming back. Neither are activated now, nor have they been since the WP re-install.

    No luck. I removed all the WP files I could, and re-named the folder where the ones that remained lived. Then I tried to do a clean install of WP using Freeservers’ automated install. I fed in the info from the original wp_config.php file when it asked for it. But all I got were these errors:

    Error establishing a database connection

    Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    I’m going to try once again to uninstall and re-install WP. This time I have it all backed up locally. Wish me luck!

    Hey, thanks for getting back to me! Obi-Wan, you’re my only hope! I returned the site to my original front page so my readers don’t give up on me (Been messing around with this for 2 weeks!). But I’m still trying to find a way to make WordPress work, or alternatively find some other way to get a blog and a comic-reader onto my front page.

    I’ve learned that the Twenty-Ten theme, the one I’ve been using for 3 years, is the only theme I can use. Every other theme I’ve sampled (with a live preview from the dashboard) appears smoosh-left. I can’t even update Twenty-Ten without losing all formatting.

    I’ve been fooling around with the plug-in Comic Easel, trying to insert the features I need into Twenty-Ten, but so far they just don’t seem to register. Desperation is starting to set in…

    I have no explanation that I would understand. 🙂 I built my site using Dreamweaver, but I don’t know the first thing about CSS and have never opened that file.

    I’ve had an html frontpage with a WordPress blog on a back page for 3 years, and recently decided to try to adapt my WordPress blog to make a new frontpage. Without moving its location, I tried to install the Comicpress theme, along with all the plugins that theme’s creator recommended. That’s when this formatting issue occurred.

    I removed the plugins, tried several other themes, and re-installed WordPress, but nothing worked. Finally I deleted all the WordPress files (completely failing to save the config.php file first), and then tried to re-install WordPress, this time allowing it to take the frontpage (index) position. It didn’t work, since I had no config information, and I had to ask my host server’s tech support for help. They restored WordPress from an earlier date, complete with the same formatting issue. Which brings us to now.

    Could any of that account for there being erroneous code in my CSS file? And more importantly, how can I fix it?

    I really appreciate your taking time to help me with this! I’ve been floundering here for almost two weeks!
