I am having a problem with blurred images since uploading the new theme recently.
Images in portrait appear crisp, but images in landscape appear slightly blurred and smaller than the content container.
The portrait images are custom size (500pxX height). The landscape images are set to ‘large’ in the drop down (640 X800). This ‘large’ is a setting that just appears in the drop down and may have been a previous setting from my previous theme which is now built in and I can’t seem to figure out how to alter this ‘large’ option no matter what I try in Media~> settings, etc. or the theme panel.
I have a lot of content already loaded with images in landscape set to ‘large’ (640X800) so I would like to find a way to correct the size/blurry/problem by somehow altering the ‘large’ post thumb-size and then regenerating the thumbnails so that I don’t have to reload all the images seperately if possible.
ALSO NOTE: Many (but not all) of the older posts, posted using the old theme are showing larger, less blurry images (although still set to 640px).. so could it be a container/ content area size issue or similar?
Obviously I am a novice at the whole coding thing, so any help would be appreciated to get all the landscape images to appear uniform and not blurry and be the same width as the text like the older posts.
The blurry image problem is only noticeable on desktop. see examples here —
newer post — with blurry smaller landscape images

older post — with larger images (still not perfectly crisp quality though)

Thanks for any advice
Hi,
I have inspected your website and the images you mention, but I do not see this blur problem. The theme will not stretch the images you use in the post, they will be displayed as they are, and the featured image based on the post template used. The post content width is 696px, if a image is smaller it will be displayed as it is.
If you want the images to be of maximum width and aligned with the post content just select the full size when adding them to the post – https://www.screencast.com/t/tkeqhAtt4yGK
The theme will create all the thumb sizes needed from the full size image you insert in the post. Please correct me if I misunderstand.
Thanks
Great, thanks! That fixed it.. obviously I am a WP beginner and with the previous theme I loaded the images as ‘large’ 640 not full-size. Now that I have changed them to full size, they are now alligned with post and are not blurred at all. Blurring was only slight before, but now they are crystal clear. Thanks
