Image won't fit in thumb placeholder

Hi, I’m trying to get my thumb placeholder image to fit into flex block 1, however I’m having some trouble.

The image size is 1038×248 pixels, which I have tried to resize using the ‘scale image’ function in wordpress so that it is 400px wide (which I believe is the width of the flex block 1 grid box), however, the image still doesn’t fit, instead it gets more pixlated.

I feel like i’m making an obvious mistake here but I’m not sure what, and I’d appreciate some advice.

Thank you

Hi,

I have gone to the layout tab –> Article Image Section –> Image Size and changed my settings from medium-default-696x0px to Full-1920x0px. This hasn’t fixed the problem and appears to be for only the featured image of an article rather than the thumb placeholder image behind it.

The thumb placeholder still isn’t fitting into the flex block 1 box.

Here is is link to the thumb placeholder I am using:

This is what the thumb placeholder looks like inside of the flex block 1 grid:

Let me know your thoughts.

Thank you

This fixed the problem, thank you very much!
